My friends dog was shot and killed by the Birmingham police last night.

The unfortuante thing is from what I understand a dog is considered property (like your your car) and thus it does not receive the same treatment as a human, so basically they can kill your dog and there is not much you can do, you might get a little money and when I say a little I mean a little, but I will bet nothing happens to the officers since it was a dog.

This is correct

...unless it's one of THEIR dogs...then it's treated as 100% human. Attacking a police dog is the legal equivalent of attacking a regular police officer.

This is also correct.

My wife works with these cases everyday here in Philly (She's a vet).
 
We had a similar case here in Milan a few years ago where it appeared
A local officer shot and killed a dog that simply didn’t warrant it.

There was a very big community out-cry back then. I would like to
hear the other side on this one – I’m NOT saying there is any justification
for what happened. I would like to hear the officers reasoning (if any).

If the officers are as wrong as this report is – then they should be held
accountable for such a reckless act.

Will never happen over a dog, barely happens over a person

I remember that...He executed the dog.
 
What if you have an invisible fence?!?!?! Not that I do but what if?? Can a cop walk up and shoot my dog on my porch?
 
Very sad .. :( Sorry, but I've lived in the country my whole life, someone called the police because a dog was laying on a porch? Screened? I'd think since they shined the light on the dog, it was late? Nothing like gunshots at 2am. :S
Pardon me for prodding.

:werd: So the dog was on their property, but barking? And they cornered it as it tried to run into the back yard... shot it twice, followed it, shot it 2 more times, and hosed away the blood and left. Sickening.
 
just saw the Channel 4 news story. Not much more info than what is here. Still makes me sick the way Police conviently bend the truth in their favor time and time again.
