Justice for Bully, Boss & Kahlua - Laws regulating the use of deadly force against our family pets
Justice for Bully, Boss & Kahlua
Laws regulating the use of deadly force against our family pets.
On August 14, 2012 In Palm Beach County, Florida, PBSOdeputies 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.

Seeing this momentum grow brings back the raw pain of losing Bully, Boss, and Kahlua but it also gives me hope that change is finally possible. I truly never imagined so many people would join me in demanding that no other family has to endure this kind of senseless tragedy.

Seeing these names reach the milestone of one hundred signatures will force the department to finally acknowledge the pain caused by these senseless killings. Take a moment to send this link to someone who believes that our family pets deserve protection from such reckless violence.

Coward cops afraid of a lil dog. This is so wrong. They should all get atleast 10 years in prison
If they refuse animal behavior training know that it can be used as a deliberate indifference and immunity for the officer might possibly be defeated.Though I doubt training will help anyone employed by PBSO.They 're not just after those who break the law they are after everyone.They are all thugs.
Absolute thugs. They walk onto private property and kill family pets just because they feel like it. Shameful behavior from officers who are supposed to protect us.
15 rounds? For dogs? That is straight up mental. These cops are dangerous and have no business carrying a badge.
My heart breaks for these dogs. They were just doing their job guarding their home. Those deputies need to be fired immediately.
They should be charged with murder. Do nothing and yours could be next.
Terrible, terrible thing this, this can't be allowed to happen again
