    Many officers, like many people, have never had a dog before and they're literally scared of any barking dog. Just learning to tell the difference between and excited dog and an aggressive dog would save many innoncent lives.

    It angers me to hear that there is so either overly protective cop or corputed cop that kills our pets because they run around, bark or look at them wrong. What dont these cops have family pets as well? Are they so ruthless they kill other peoples pets? Where is the justice in this? Everytime I read about a pet being killed by an officer, the department said it was justified justice. I think the police officers and the department should be held liable and accountable for this. The families needs to sue for the lost of their family pets/members!

    Cops need to be taught that just because they carry a gun, doesn't mean they can shoot anything they want. There has been too many of these horrible stories lately. It needs to stop!

    We expect Law Enforcement to protect and serve... not murder our pets. Tasers and training should be used....not bullets!

    How do you know they won't see a family cat or a small puppy and think Oh I am in danger and bang. Police need training period

    Seems like every day there's another incident in which a family pet was wrongfully shot and killed by police overreacting. This type of training is long overdue!

    I guess I must sign to leave a comment, but this is NOT SIGNED!!!! How about the family keeping their pet under control and not allowing to to place an officer in fear of being bitten. How is the officer to know if a dog is running at him barking that all the dog wants to do is lick him or smell his butt! split second decisions, ripped apart by idiots for weeks/months/years!

    The police should not be allowed to shoot a family pet for defending its home! There are so many other options! THIS IS MURDER!!!

    This epidemic HAS to stop! There is no reason to shoot a family's dog. And if you think we're going to sit idly by and let it continue, you are wrong!

    I'm sickened by the number of family pets that are put to death or near death because of ignorance from our police force. They need training badly on how to handle a family pet that just might be protecting his home and family members from to him is an unknown intruder. Or one that is just running toward someone for hugs and kisses and can't help that he looks vicious.

    Everytime I hear of another family dog being shot by police, it makes me angry. I think all police across the US and the world need to make it mandatory that their officers go through a special traing class regarding shooting dogs. Those of us who have dogs love them as much as those who have human children. It is desvistating for us to loose our pets for no good reason. In most cases where family pets are killed, in my opinion, it is because the officers are afraid of dogs. A friendly dog is going to go upto even a stranger to greet them. And officers need to stay out of peoples yards that are fenced. Too many innocent dogs are killed just out of what I think is fear.

    Police need to be taught that people's pets are loved and should not be killed for no reason.
