DC Police Kill Grandmother's Dog While Serving Drug Warrant

[Ganjarden]

Please take a moment to sign the petition to protest the cruelty of the unnecessary killing of pet dogs by police during encounters with citizens.

Today’s story of police canicide comes to us by way of the Associated Press (click to watch the video). A 62-year-old grandmother in Washington, DC tells AP that police came to her home serving a drug warrant for her 28-year-old grandson. The grandma asks to put her dog in the back yard or the bathroom. The cops tell her the bathroom would be fine. Later, the cops open the bathroom door, claim this 13-year-old dog named “Wrinkles” attacked them, and they shoot it multiple times. By the way, the grandson hasn’t lived in the home for a dozen years and the only drugs cops found were what they claimed was “drug residue” on some baggies, which the grandma contends is the residue of fortune cookies.

There was another heartbreaking dog killing by police in Lagrange, Missouri, caught on video that you can view below. This incident did not involve a drug warrant, however. Instead it was a report of an aggressive dog, who on video appeared to be quite calm and friendly, shot to death by an officer after the officer had it fully restrained by chain, noose, and pole.

If we can get the signatures on the signatures on the LEAP petition over 1,000, supermodel Joanna Krupa has agreed to deliver the petition to both PETA and the Humane Society to increase the exposure of this all-too-common police procedure of killing family pets unnecessarily.

Thats about the most chicken shit thing I have ever seen. The dog wasn't doing anything but standing there! Scared of the pole but tail wagging most of the time. The cop should be fired and jail time for this and thats to good for him. An eye for an eye would be better. I would like personally to put him on a pole and shoot him twice just like he did the poor dog.

I wish i wouldnt have watched that.NO im glad i did because it pissed me off
and reminded me why we need to do things.

How in the fuck can this peice of shit excuse for a human watch this and justify
shooting this poor dog.The dog was waging his tail. Why can not a judge
look at this and see it for what it is animal cruelty .

Morals,morality it seems to be absent in law enforcement. In 31 years I aint never met a good cop. I hear of this a lot. Anytime there serving a warrant and you have what they consider and aggressive dog I.e,pitbull doberman,rotwiller well u get the point. There gonna come in guns blazing. Sad but unfortunately very true. T. Animal rights activist need to be on that stuff. If we weren't gonna get harassed we would be on on that!
