“We don’t have any way of taking care of a dog,“ an officer told the dog’s owner, Bryan Pennington.
You couldn’t just take it to a local dog pound? And isn’t there such a thing as microchipping, which allows a dog to be scanned and their owners identified?
He didn’t think of this excuse until afterward when he was called into question. When asked to pick up the dog his only thought was “Great! Something I can get away with killing!”
That is such a bullshit statement. My sister’s dog ran off at state park. We searched for hours and asked around before finally heading to the rangers station to see if they had heard anything. Turns out, the rangers had found her and they and the maintenence guys spent all day hanging out with her and driving her around in the various vehicles. The ranger we spoke to said they were going to take her to the shelter if we hadn’t come before the park shit down. They had “nothing to take care of a dog” but managed to handle it without shooting anything.

That takes more time and effort than a bullet.
I will never call cops for a lost animal. What a shitty outcome.
Never call cops unless you want someone dead, and don’t mind if it’s yourself. And that goes 10x for PoC
