Midlothian Police Shoot Confined Dog
Date: July, 2011
Location: Midlothian, Illinois
Link to article
A dog described as either a Pit Bull or Bull Mastiff was shot multiple times, ran away and probably died in pain and misery somewhere else courtesy of Midlothian Police.
The dog has been a stray, fed by locals, and considered friendly or at least not aggressive by neighbors.
The dog had been running loose and police were called. An officer came out and was able to get the dog into a yard before he was called away on an emergency. In an amazing move, he left a handwritten note on the home owner's door saying, yo left a big brown dog in your yard. The dog did not belong to the homeowner, although he knew who the dog was (a stray).
Police came later and almost immediately shot the dog three times, claiming he was aggressive. The dog, shot once in the head and twice in the ribs, clawed his way out to escape the people shooting him and ran off. He probably did not survive.
None of the neighbors appear pleased with the decision to shoot the dog.

Why The Public Shouldn't Try And Shoot Dogs
A woman aiming at a dog, described as a Pit BUll puppy, being held by someone, shot the puppy and ended up shooting her husband. He died.
THe dog did not hurt anyone. Everyone was safe. The dog was confined and secure. The woman is certifiable.
You can see the 8-mos-old dog here who was shot in the leg.
I mean, seriously, this dog was so dangerous that the neighborhood children said there wasn't an attack and the victim picked the dog up. The woman was so nuts that she shot the dog while she was being held by her husband. I mean, who does that? Except someone who secretly hates their husband, right?
ALso, don't name a dog Cocaine. Period. Idiots.

Animal Control Shoots Two Dogs On Their Property

Location: St. Clair, Alabama

Epic fail on so many accounts. Just read the article. Basic summary: Two dogs who were safely confined on Animal Control property and who several officers both police and animal control deemed NOT DANGEROUS were shot because, like other animal control agencies, spending time putting out a trap or finding an alternative to a prolonged rescue is just too time consuming. Rest in peace, mixed breed dogs.

Tomah Police Shoot Dog, Jerk of An Owner Lets Dog Get Shot Again
Date: July, 2011
Location: Tomah, Wisconsin
Link to article
A dog described as a mixed-breed escaped his home and "tried" to bite two children but did not actually bite them. Police arrived and pepper-sprayed the dog. When the dog "bared his teeth", the obvious recourse was to shoot him. The dog went back into his home. The caregiver of the dog (he actually belonged to the dude's nephew) refused to give medical treatment to the dog. So again, the obvious action was not to sedate, catch pole, call animal control for the dog, it was to go in and shoot the dog again until he died. Nice.

Three dogs described as Cane Corso's escaped from a basement window, attacking multiple people. One of the dogs was shot by police. Despite the size of the dogs and the fear they inspired, the dogs caused minor injuries.
The breed is NOT a cross between a Pit Bull and a Mastiff, despite what the person in the article stated. This breed predates the American Pit Bull Terrier by a lot.

The officers had been responding to a call and knocked on a door. Police claim they asked the homeowners to control the dog; the homeowner's claim police did not give them any time to do so. The dog got out onto the porch and was barking. SO obviously the police had to shoot him!
In 2009, Syracuse police shot at least one dog when they were responding to a tripped burglary alarm.

Shelbyville Police Shoot Dog Dead
A Labrador Retriever was shot and killed by police after they claim she became "aggressive" when they entered her property investigating a burglary alarm.
When asked why the officer didn't try pepper spray or a taser:
"Yes, there are options that he had available on his belt but, it takes longer to retrieve those pieces of equipment," said Sheriff Armstrong.
What, do Shelbyville police wear some freakishly weird utility belt that doesn't allow them semi-equal access to all their equipment?
