Different ways for police and animal control to approach dogs without killing them.

The Issue

Dogs' lives matter too. They may seem scary at times but not all of them are really bad. Shooting someone's dog 5 times right in front of their face is completely unacceptable. Sometimes you'll see a person and they're big and scary looking on the outside but on the inside they could be the most caring and loving person you've met. When someone that's big and scary comes running towards you, you don't just grab a gun and shoot them because you feel as if they're gonna hurt you. So why should Police be able to do that to dogs when they can find a different way to approach these kinds of situations. King was just an ordinary dog, loved to play and cuddle just like any other dog, and when someone he doesn't know is invading his property he will bark and try to scare you away. Animals all around the world do it, not just dogs. He was watching his owner cry in pain while his puppy and the mother to his puppies were fighting. Next thing you know, people are trying to come into HIS home and the first thing he's going to do is protect it. He was trying to protect his family and the police shot him, not once, not twice, but five times. It's crazy to think how people could be so heartless. Make a change and protect our animals.
