Even though I am a big animal lover I understand that in certain situations dogs have needed to be shot by police.  What I don’t understand is why police would taser and then shoot dead a Chihuahua! Well actually a Chihuahua cross but it’s just as shocking.  I was horrified when I read a news article about a family returning home from a funeral only to discover their dogs blood and three bullets on their front porch. When they rang the police they were told the officers had no choice but to shoot their pet… no choice… how about walking away? The dog only attacked after he was cornered by two police officers, any rational person would have left the dog alone.  Obviously the Blue Ash Police Department (Cincinatti) are big on “excessive force.”
