wow, another trigger happy a-hole. They should throw a book at him for at least discharging in public, nevermind animal cruelty.

No arms on our AC officers.

What did I miss? Bugsy was a stray, they called A/C - what did he do that prompted the "A/C officer" to shoot him? Do they do that to all dogs in Williamsburg?

I would never call AC to try to find a dog a home. Most AC hold a dog 72 hours, then it is PTS. Of course, most people don't know that.

Poor dog, that lady was ready to take him home, too.

Here's another article about the incident.

One statement in this article says, "The Whitley County Animal Control officer who shot and killed a stray dog in front of a woman that had been caring for the animal will be disciplined, according to Whitley County Judge-Executive Pat White."

That man should NOT be an animal control officer. The dog was not causing anyone any harm.

Idiot.
