LaGrange police criticized for dog shooting video - WGEM.com: Quincy News, Weather, Sports, and Radio

And a video of it I found on youtube.

Bully breed of some kind, looks almost American Bulldog... That sweetheart was wagging their tail after the first shot, as if to say "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you!".

What the ****.

What really gets me, is they shot AFTER the dog calmed down and got over the initial fear of being caught on a catch pole by someone who had no idea what he was doing... She didn't act aggressive to the humans at all... I'm just so lost on this!

She was just standing there causing no harm to them.

So sad. And nothing will happen to him for doing it probably.

Just very sad... And pointless. The dog appeared to be tethered already, THEN on a catch pole, it couldn't hurt anyone...

what kills me is common sense would be to put a crate/kennel on the ground and get the dog into it. They could probably have lured the dog into one without the catch pole even. My ex was a humane officer and I use to go on calls with him and I worked AO for a while. If a dog was not agressive, and this dog wasn't then we didn't use a catch pole. It was already on a leash/collar why not just lead the dog into a crate...... The catch pole is scary and will make a dog panic which this dog did but it NEVER showed any agression just flight.

Ugh, made me feel sick to my stomach.

This could have been avoided completely. So sad.

I'm a police officer and I frequently see people criticize cops for how animals are handled. From what I saw, that officer should be fired. That's totally unacceptable.

I can't say anything else without getting banned from the board

I have no problem with an officer having to put a dog or anything else down when his / her life or safety is being threatened. This dog was obviously no threat. It would take a cold, cruel person to do this.
