Police Shooting Animals

Is anyone else with me in thinking that police obviously need more animal training.  I am having a hard time believing that every one of these dogs that are shot are all aggressive.

I understand if the dog is charging the police and they are genuinely fearful for their safety that they may shoot, but can't they aim in a leg or shoulder even to stop them in their tracks instead of in the face and stomachs killing the dog?  Many dogs that are being approached by people in uniforms can act aggressive but that does not mean they are aggressive or will act on the aggression.  Seems too many law enforcement officials are trigger happy.

I have been reading stories about dogs shot in the most horrific ways and under the most ridiculous circumstances.  And no matter how many pages are started to spread the word about such incidents and no matter how many letters are written to officials and news media nothing seems to change.  I am going to be doing more reading into some of these cases I have come across and will report back with my thoughts and own opinions.  But I will leave you with one question:  What would YOU do if an officer came to your home and killed your beloved pet?

Toodaloo and catch up with you soon.
