The Travis County Parks department has officially confirmed that they are implementing new training protocols and stricter weapon usage guidelines effective immediately. This outcome represents a significant shift in how park rangers interact with our community and animals. I am grateful for your dedication to ensuring that what happened to …
Our dog Bronx was shot in the face by Travis County Park Ranger Antonio Aguilar, Monday Aug 9. He fired his weapon without any warning, and with children present. We are trying to gather enough signatures to send to the Travis County Parks to let them know how outraged we are that this could happen. Park Rangers are supposed to serve as ambassadors to the public. They should have some form of training to deal with dogs and a protocol to follow when they use their weapon. These changes need to happen or next time, this guy could shoot a child or another family member.
So sad to hear about this poor dog. Hope the family gets real justice because this guy is a danger to the whole community.

Total coward. Needs training or just get him off the force entirely.

This is completely insane. Rangers need to be held accountable for this. Poor Bronx did nothing to deserve this kind of treatment.

My kids play at those parks and now I am terrified to take them. What if the bullet had hit someone else? Disgusting.
