Terry Cullen raided

[Danounet]

I dont care what anyone says the law says, shooting 2 dogs with no real reason is just wrong, it doesn't matter if it's the government's fault or the officers. Isn't that why we have animal control??!

On the one hand I agree completely with you.

On the other I can't say there was "no real reason" because I wasn't there for the raid. The Columbia Missouri swat raid had me absolutely livid, still upsets me, but once again I wasn't there to see if the dog that was shot and killed posed any threat whatsoever to any officers life or limb.

If you chose to watch that video can you say that the dog posed no threat whatsoever to any officer's life or limb? In criminal courts the officers are almost always cleared of any wrong doing when it comes to shooting an animal. Sad, but true.

Saw that video a week or so ago. It made me rage inside.

Thanks, but you missed my point anyways, If it is known that there are animals in there specially dogs, why not bring animal control along? Why are things done this way??

The video doesnt agree with this site's TOS

Probably so. Regardless it is still a valid point.

Seriously? You want animal control on a SWAT team? What are they going to do?

"Stop everyone I need to restrain this dog with my pole. Hey Smith, could you help me out here? I know you're covering the door but it'll only take a minute... Ok guys keep going."

What swat team?? With a warrant??

YOU are talking about a video that has nothing to do with Cullen, you are mixing up 2 different issues here.

You nailed it! Don't worry though, the four foot alligator running free around the building was left unharmed.
I don't know about you but WTF! If I saw a 4 foot alligator I'm pretty sure I'd be a littlemore defensive toward that then the dogs.
Also, don't dogs bark? Knock knock knock, reply "woof woof" cops "ok boys get yur guns ready"

put yourself in his shoes... This guy is I'll out of state, he just heard he's been accused of sexual assualt I think? Just found out his two dogs were killed (this guys an animal lover) (wait two dogs and they get along with a 4 foot alligator?) see what I mean? I'll trust what Terry says until I'm proved wrong. But I have seen the news be wrong before. On a daily bases, on an hourly bases. (ball python is burm...) until they are charged I'll be on there side.

An alligator isn't likely to chase down an officer. A dog defending it's home is very likely. Which means an alligator poses very little risk to life and limb in comparison with a dog in this kind of situation.

When it comes to self defense human limbs are always considered more valuable than animal life. The only exception that I'm aware of is a police k9 in the performance of official duties and following commands. Sucks but it's true.

I'm sorry but i find this horrible. They had absolutely NO right killing those dogs. Unless it is life or death why did they have to barge in. And if they didn't barge in then why didn't the woman (sorry I forget er name) lock them up? Makes no sence to me.
You don't find it a tad bit suspicious that these dogs were living with a 4 foot alligator and getting along? News makes no sence, twists things around, not one to be trusted.
And in a case like this isn't it proper for the police to find absolutely any charge they can hold a person with so that they have a hold of them? So they can't run or get away? Hence the suspician of cruelty or w/e?
There's a lot of ways around it,(killing the dogs) we don't know half of the story. All we have to go on is half baked news reports.
