My big bugaboo is with the use of any dogs by a police department to apprehend/subdue suspects.

I do not mind drug and bomb sniffing dogs, but to have any officer send a dog-who does not realize the danger invovled - into a situation where harm may come to the animal, shows a disrespect for the animal and the bond, loyalty and fearlessness that it shows to it's handler.

A while back there was a post about some idiot cop who left his K-9 partner out in the yard. The dog traveled into a neighbors yard where the dog was shot-because the neighbor thought it was a threat.

The question was -should the man who shot the dog face charges?
Sure, but so should the officer-and he should pay for the training costs of that dog.

It really angers me is to see dogs hurt or killed by some crazed AH because they were put into those situations by a K-9 handler.

I'd be aggressive if someone snipped my batonga wongasm THEN I'd run after people and bite them.

The plea from a PD for funds to buy a "flakjacket/BP vest" after a dog is killed or mained is especially maddening.

Breeders sell animals for beau coup dollars- for them to pretend that they care for the animals they breed and love -but balk at spending the money to keep them doing "What they love" make me wonder.

A nice "donation" to the local PD looks good on anyone's taxes.
Pets or profit?
