Justice for Bully, Boss &

Laws regulating the use of
deadly force against our family pets.
On August 14, 2012 In Palm
Beach County, Florida, PBSO deputies shot and killed three (3) beloved dogs; Bully,
Boss & Kahlua after stepping onto THEIR gated property. The deputies parked away from the gate to the
property that had two Beware of Dog signs clearly posted on the gate. The
deputies entered the gate so quietly that the dogs did not hear them until they
were 20 to 30 feet onto the property. The deputies were there to serve papers
to Woodman; a friend of the owners, for a restraining order. Woodman was working underneath a car when he
saw the green pants, he said, “I knew they were deputies”, Woodman while
getting to his feet with his hands in the air, immediately ask the deputies to
wait because the dogs were out. The deputies had their guns out and continued
to approach. One deputy grabbed Woodman, threw him to the ground and held him
down applying handcuffs, and the other deputy just starting shooting the dogs as
they approached to greet the deputies. "They just started shooting
them," Woodman said. "I begged them to stop. I didn't know what was
happening until I heard the third or fourth shot. It didn't register they were
blowing this dog away." The deputy
fired at least 15 rounds into three dogs, Woodman said that the deputy shot
Boss at least 10 times. Animal Care and Control was called to the scene and as
reported to the news; The dogs have never been in trouble with Animal Care and
Control and have never tried to bite anyone.
These were gentle loving family pets.
Goal: Justice for Bully, Boss &
Kahlua - Laws regulating the use of
deadly force against our family pets.
The ultimate goal of Justice
for Bully, Boss & Kahlua, is to make changes to local and state laws and
policies regarding the treatment of animals (dogs) during law enforcement. This will include clear definitions of what is, and is not considered “aggressive”
behavior, and indications for the use of less than lethal force. This will also
include disciplinary action and accountability.
