Small town Chief of Police brutally shoots caged dogs

It's getting so crazy, in every city and town, the police, the ones that are suppose to be protecting us, are worse than the criminals! They get off on killing, people, animals, the "power trips" are sick!!! We all need to ban together and get these "rogue elephants" out of power!!

Nothing gets me nearly as upset as animal cruelty - NOTHING. This is one of the sickest things I've ever seen. If this chief calls himself a man, he's wrong - he's a weak pig that has a complex problem. I hope the worst for people that harm animals - nothing less for this piece of crap.

Calling humans humans has become an oxymoron.

Tonight!...on sick sad world!....but seriously i always thought that it isn't called euthanizing if you shoot them its called murder. "Well we was all thankin that they wuz a having rabies what with the foamin of the mouth and such... but we still didn't thank we needed to keep em in a seperate cage. Guess i should of figured it may spread" /facepalm

Alright, I would like to be a voice of reason here, since there are so many emotional responses (and I can understand why).
I am a veterinary technician, and have been for the last 7 years. I have worked at animal shelters as well as veterinary hospitals and seen many many sad things, and experienced how disgusting humanity can be to our 4 legged friends.

In this story we see a very small town with very few people, little resources and probably not too much effort put into their animal cruelty laws. The sheriff was called to animal control, which means that this must be protocol if there are rabid dogs. The sheriff didn't jump the gun, he called the Mayor who said to go ahead and then called a Veterinarian who also agreed with the decision. Remember, Corning (a town of 3,600 people) is not New York. I have lived in a big city on the east coast for most of my life, and also lived in a small town. I have seen the difference in the mentality of the people, and the financial backing. You can label these people as "red neck pigs", but realize that you are doing this because they are white, if they were black you'd be labeled as a racist.

Has anyone here seen a rabid dog? I would not label them as cute fluffy animals. It is quite terrifying! They do not behave like a normal dog because rabies is a neuroinvasive disease that, well, makes them crazy. Rabies is not treatable once the dog has behavioral side effects.

Maybe this story will get Corning to come up with a better and more humane system for these situations. It is very sad that these dogs didn't get the benefit of a sedative to knock them out before euthanasia (and VERY sad that one of them was owned), but remember this is a small town with little resources.

ouch, man. i really don't know what to say to this. its disgusting

Words cannot express my desire for retribution. This man is NOT a human being.

what an asshole

ANIMAL CRUELTY! EMOTIONAL ABUSE TO THE FAMILIES! SEND THIS IDIOT TO JAIL!

MURDER by a human with an inferior brain and perhaps no heart!

Pets are like family !

what a douche ! I'm sickened and would like information on how to help prosecute this grossly inhumane act.

I do hope he is under investigation for cruelty to animals. In small retirbution to his henious misdeeds his job taken, pets and children taken away. Not to mention a huge fine. Oh and maybe being neutered would cut down on the testosterone maddness that seems oh so common these days.

As an RN of 25 years it amazes me that we can kill companion animals at whim. Yet compassionate right to die movements are denied in most states.

After he found his common sense he would have to start looking for his head cause I would have blown it off with a shotgun if he had shot my dogs.

that is the most in humane thing I think I've ever heard of! I hope this police officer loses his job over this.

The town will have to exhume the dogs and send the heads for rabies testing. If the dogs were rabid they needed to call another agency to handle the situation.
The people involved made hasty, inappropriate decisions; which usually leads to the wrong ones. Most likely the case here. The pictures are ugly and insightful.

This is what scares me about the GoodO'l USA There are a lot of these assbackwards sherrifs around Fire his ass and press charges for animal Cruelty.

That last post picture proves that the dogs were not brutally attacking each other like the police chief said in his on camera interview. It looks more like the dogs are licking their DEAD companions.

cowards shoot anything when you give them a gun.

The person that took the pictures is anonymous right now. I gave him my cell phone to take them. He is at risk of loosing his job, and is in danger of retaliation from the police. We can not let this die, they are trying to brush it under the rug. Thank you for your support. We count on our law enforcement and mayor to protect the law, and be as honest as possible, yet this is far from that reality.

His physical appearance says enough as it is.

This is not over,

Rabies is treatable . Theydid not have to do THAT

this man needs to be eaten alive by some wild beasts.

How could any human being willingly do this to another creature.

Not Good !

another picture? please stop already... we know the FAT PIG did it... what we need now is to get his FAT ASS fired and arrested!!!

jesus...

who took those pics?

The Michael Vick of law enforcement

like fishin in a barrel hey sherrif. sad sad sad

like fishing in a barrel hay sherrif. sad sad sad

Arkansas?

Hey, even pigs need a little fun a relaxation. The guy probably had a hard morning.

See this is the trash that joins law enforcement. No real person wants to be a cop anymore only those that want to inflict pain on the helpless.

Those sick fucks.

Is it that big of a deal? Cows go through worse...Or what about horses? Ever visit a slaughterhouse? Why do people give human characteristics to animals?

Another fucking coward with a gun!! No respect for life and he's a chief?? please...

what a fucking piece of crap.Do they have a heart,I dont think so.

Oh that is some cheap and lazy bullshit right there. Thought they could save a buck but forgot that maybe those are someone's pets.. That buck is going to cost them in legal fees now!

a sad, sad statement on the humanity of humanity.

Sad, and sick.
