freakin' awesome.

I also like that the officers themselves owe damages.

oh, and here's something for you




only if you want

[grrr]

I have two pitbulls that are completely harmless. I would not be at all surprised, though, if one or both of them were shot if law enforcement had a reason to enter my dwelling on their own terms. That would be heartbreaking. On the other hand, I can sympathize with officers who have to prioritize their safety in volatile situations. It's the human threat that appears while they're dealing with the dog that officers need to worry about.

That being said, I don't have kids so anyone who shoots my dog(s) better hope I can't shoot my way to the gun-room. An AR with a SlideFire stock & a semi-auto shotgun could give a tactical team real problems when I'm in my concrete storage bunker with a gas mask on.

Glad to see people being held responsible for their actions.

On another note (first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title)...
Anybody know the laws about putting a dog down?

What do you mean? Like taking them to the vet, or if you're allowed to plug 'em then bury 'em?

I know that when you take them to the vet to get put down, they used to give them back to you so you could bury them. They don't anymore though, because they don't want the "put down" drugs leaching into the soil.
