I am so sorry you had to hear that story, but I just don't understand why people have to use weapons like that on dogs. We had a case in Tennessee of a Bulldog that never left his property, but a neighbor complained that he "scared" her and one of the local sheriff's deputies came onto the OWNER'S property and shot the dog in front of God and everybody. Where is the rightness in that sort of thing????? Tennessee has a tremendous derth of Animal Control laws and enforcement people and it just does not make sense to me.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you for witnessing that and to Chloe's owners for haveing to deal with it. What a tremendously stupid thing to do. The only good thing I see here is that they are actually enforcing an Animal Cruelty law. With all the laws pertaining to pets that keep cropping up, it's nice to know that someone somewhere is enforcing a law that's on the pet's side, even if the pet is at the Bridge and can't be helped with it.

Hugs and prayers to you!
