Oakridge Tase, Then Shoot to Death Dog in Oregon

Oakridge, Oregon

There is lots of blame going around in a shooting death of a woman's dog, described as a Pit Bull.

The woman has a problem properly confining her dogs and this dog had gotten out before. The week prior, officers had responded to a call of the loose dog, and had to taser the dog.

When officers responded a week later to the dog running around (not eating anyone but acting aggressively), they arrived on scene and immediately tasered the dog. Even though the dog was immobilized and no longer a threat, officers shot the dog, killing him. Even the neighbors who didn't really like the woman or dog thought it was an extreme response to a prone, non-threatening dog.

Asheville Campus Police Acts a Hero, Shoots a Dog in the Face

April, 2011 - Asheville, North Carolina

A dog described as a Pit Bull (ZOMG! RUN FOR THE HILLS) jumped out of the back of a truck where he was just chilling. Yo, dog guardian, don't be a jack ass and leave your dog untethered and unattended in the back of your truck. Problem solved.

But instead problem emerged. The dog chased some people and eventually did bite one person in the hand.

In an act of BRAVERY so amazing, an award will be made in his honor, a campus security police officer lured the dog away undoubtedly by waving his arm in front of the dog as bait! When the dog meandered over, the officer had to defend himself from the walking brute by shooting the dog right in the face!

The dog will live, because he is a Pit Bull and as all creepy anti-pit bull zealots tell us, they are a speshul breed!

One of the officers freaked out and shot the dog multiple times. According to the owner, the dog was shot will running back towards his property.

Officers refused to allow the family to take the dog to a veterinarian for two hours. If that was a human being, lawsuit time!
