Name: Amanda Nagle on Mar 5, 2004State: MNCountry: USComments: This is a great idea!! Our familys rottweiler was just shot and killed by police officers here in Duluth, MN. The story is a long one, but the authorities used uneccesary force and killing an animal is unethical and inhumane. Please send me more information and things to get me involved. Thank You!Flag

Name: AYUB SORAYA on Mar 22, 2004State: TXCountry: USComments: I agree that there should be laws in which animals are protected. They may not be human, but they are living creatures that live and breathe - they need love and nurturing. I also agree that every community officer should be obligated to attend animal handling training. These animals need our love and not brutality.Flag

Put these gun happy cops behind a desk without ever being able to touch a gun again!Flag

Name: Shanna Carman on May 4, 2004State: KYCountry: USComments: If the dog was wagging his tail there was no threat and should have been left a lone and for the citation the dog was in his yard. If the dog did show some aggression it's because that's what we use dogs for friendship & protection!!Flag

Name: Sherika Silcott on May 20, 2004State:Country: VIComments: I'm truly sorry to hear about "Sprite" I was online browsing for a buff male american cocker spaniel but i came upon your page so I decided to read. I think dogs should be treated as humans, I also wish that they were able to get social security but I guess not. I have a Black Cocker Spaniel and her name is "FeFe" She is a wonderful dog. Nice Page!Flag

Name: Anne MacLachlan on Jun 1, 2004State: WICountry: USComments: I just read the story about Sprite. I know police need to use their own discretion when they encounter a dog, but there is no reason why a cocker spaniel, or any other small dog, should be shot. Officers should have to be educated on dog behavior before they go into the community where they will encounter people's pets. If Officer Peavy had been educated she would know that Sprite wanted to play not attack. She was not in any danger and there was NO reason why she needed to shoot that animal. Then to hand the lady a $160 ticket, wasn't killing her animal enough Some people cherish their pets as they do other family members. If an officer kills someone's animal they should be have to prove that the shooting was justified and there should be some sort of consequence if they can't. Who's to say that the animals life isn't more valuable than another family members lifeFlag

Name: Beverly Miles on Jun 27, 2004State: TXCountry: USComments: This is horrible! I think the officer should be held responsible. Honestly, did she fear for her life from a 38lb cocker spaniel If so, what would she do with an adult male criminal.. shoot him first and ask questions laterFlag

Name: Victoria Steen on Aug 2, 2004State: COCountry: USComments: That was a sick thing to do... shooting a 38-pound cocker spaniel What kind of trained police officer shoots a 38-pound dog It was completely unnessessary. They could have cited the owner without killing an innocent animal.Flag

Name: Amy Wicker on Nov 3, 2011State: ArizonaCountry: United StatesComments: Police should never shoot an animal unless his life is threatened and animal is going to kill him. Too many so called cops are shooting dogs just because it barked or go into a house or yard where dog lives and shoots him to bring pain to owner. We must not stand by and do nothing and how do we protect our unharmful pets and not get jailed or beaten down ourselves? (and in most cases dog still gets shot) HelpFlag
