Stop Police shooting our dogs

The Issue

 PLEASE HELP GET JUSTICE FOR RUGER!!

On October 3rd 2022 Webb City Missouri Police officer Tabitha Love shot out 4 year old boxer baby & Cheif of Police Don Melton along with other officers then followed him 10 blocks from home where he crawled up on a porch & layer down - Cheif of Police Don Melton then drives up in his red truck continuing to torcher him with poles & it's all on video from the ladies home security system camera ....You can even hear the other officers talking to Ruger telling him "It's ok puppy" another officer said "Do know where the dog came from or who he belongs to?" And another officer replays " yes we do "  Yet when we called the WCPD asking if they'd had any calls because we were desperately walking the street calling his name ALL NIGHT LONG ...We told them we were trying to find him & each time we called the WCPD they lied and told us they knew nothing at all about any dog! We posted his pictures all over social media asking if anyone saw him & the next morning we got a comment about WCPD shooting Ruger - that Ruger had been killed!!! Absolutely & completely overwhelmed with grief and heartache we called the only animal clinic here in town Madison Animal Clinic who told us that they had Ruger since about 6pm the night before & that Cheif of Police Don Melton had him put down due to injuries our baby had received BY HIM & officer Tabitha Love!!! The Madison Animal Clinic would not give us ANY information at all & told us that all questions & info regarding our baby had to go through the Cheif of Police Don Melton. Ruger did nothing wrong he never bit anyone or hurt anyone he was scared & because he was a large dog the police officer Tabitha Love was scared & pulled out her weapon and shot Ruger in his nose !!! He could have lived if they would have told us where he was because they KNEW EXACTLY where he was but they didn't tell us or anyone else that - instead they're STILL trying to cover up what they have done and we are asking for your help in passing a law against these corrupt &  trigger happy police officers using LEATHAL FORCE AGAINST OUR FUR BABIES!! There are other ways to handle situations like these like mace or tranquilizer darts etc....they shouldn't be able to shoot our animals & get away with it just because they have a badge!!! Ruger isn't just a dog he is our baby & his 2 girls are now here without they're Daddy & our hearts & lives are in pieces due to loosing our baby Ruger!!! There is much more to our  story and if you would like to join us in helping us STOP POLICE KILLING OUR FUR BABIES we would be forever grateful!! We want to get a law passed to stop Police brutality and animal cruelty on our family pets!! They are not just pets to us THEY ARE OUR FAMILY!!!
