Why was the Dog Murdered?

"Please allow animal control to do its job. If the dog in question was indeed determined a threat by those appointed to do so (animal control) they would take the approprate steps to insure the publics safety."

"because of man's inhumanity towards animals, the wonderful pit's natural tendancies have been distorted and the breed horribly maligned. They are wonderful family members."

"The dog did not deserve this by no means."

"like to know the facts of the case and why it did happen"

"I ask for objectivity and empathy"

"Another case of authority going to someones head. This officer should have let animal control do their job!"

"That's just messed up..."

"This needs to be investigated as it was a human shot. Pets are a very important part of our families. The Redding police have a bad reputation for being real JERKS! The community has the power to change their reckless behavior."

"As someone who works in veterinary medicine, I think many people already have a predetermined opinion of pitbulls because of all the publicity surrounding this breed. When working with an aggressive or scared animal patience and moving slowly is key. Goin"

"apd is just as bad i had a cop come to my home for theft of proparty and he kept his hand on his gun and told me he would have his k9 kill me dog or he would shoot her and she did nothing to warrent his reaction just because she was a pit . she was a grea"

"I live In redding,Just around the corner from where this happened.I am a dog owner.This makes me SICK to have someone so close to home do this to an animal..This just goes to show How Idiotic our police department is..They Need to go to special training t"

"RPD took it way too far!!"

"I don't care for pit bulls, but then again I don't care for dumb cops either! Geez where did this guy come from?"

"This over-zealous police officer really stepped out of line and should be strongly made to pay for this error in judgement!"
