We would like to change the way that police officers handle animal situations. We believe that a police officer should be trained to mace or taze a dog rather than shooting it. The number of dogs being shot by police officers is on the rise as is the number of deaths. Please help us change the handling of these situations. We would love for animal and human kind to be able to live in peace together.

Reaching this point has been exhausting but seeing the support grow gives me a reason to keep going. I am tired of reading these stories and I know many of you are too. We will keep pushing until the departments finally listen.

This is so heartbreaking. My heart breaks for all those families who have lost their pets just cause an officer was scared. They need better training simple as that.

My dog is my best friend. i cant imagine if a cop just ended her life because they didn't know how to handle a situation. get them some pepper spray and fix this.

SHOOTING IS NOT THE ONLY OPTION. cops need to learn how to deal with pets without using lethal force immediately. stop killing our dogs!!
