Officer cleared after shooting an entire litter of kittens to death in front of children

[Anti Federalist]

Yah, it's called "NEVER CALL COPS".

The lady who called obviously wanted them gone, didn't want take care of her problem herself. She learned what happens when you trust the government to do things for you. Tough lesson. Next time she will learn to either take care of them or drive them to a better place and let them go.

Authorization to pull out their gun and shoot critters at will is what's been given...

Kids/pets/prized registered stock, none of it relevant..

Yup...

“Her children were upstairs in view of the windows. They started screaming and crying because they heard the gunshots. They started screaming, ‘Mommy, he’s killing the kittens,’” Landon noted. “It’s heartbreaking… There is no excuse for it. It’s absolutely shameful that someone with the title of humane officer would do this.”

Kid, very shortly now, it will not be kittens, it will be mommy getting shot.

And God damn all of us, myself included, who did not do enough to put a stop to it.

I'm sorry child, truly sorry.

AF leaves the kitten shooting stories underserved...

Yah, well, I catch enough shit for my Dead Dog Daily stories...

I regret now, not posting one I came across last week and can't find again.

Something about how a SWAT cop defenestrated some poor bastard's cat while raiding their home.

I didn't post it because, IIRC the guy, at least according to government, was a bad guy, for real, and the cat killing seemed to be an accident.

I hate cats, wouldn't keep one if I were paid.

That said what pisses me off is a government employee shooting any domestic animal that hasn't maimed someone, not one they think might maim, but already has.

What pisses me off is people calling the government to do things they are chickenshit to do themselves. If you don't want pests living in your woodpile, handle it. It's really not my business you you choose to do that.

The other article covered that. This is pure unadulterated malfeasance by Sailing and shall no be tolerated!

Well, that's different then. Let the punishment be swift and harsh enough that no other mod even thinks of this type of horrendous transgression!

Shit, people call the cops if they can't get a hamburger.

 

[TruckinMike]

Y'alls complaints are unfounded! Don't you understand that the officers life was at stake?!? He had to do what he had to do --- Officer Safety ----DUH!

For Officer Safety -- Where every Kitten is a killer Kitten!

Yah, it's called "NEVER CALL COPS".

I learned that lesson 15 years ago.

This guy was likely within the legal boundaries of his job shooting the cats, but showed piss poor judgement, which seems to be typical.

I handle things myself now.

You will almost always be better off for doing so.

Animal cruelty charges, jail time, discharging a weapon within city limits, and fines for you. Not for thee.

 

[VBRonPaulFan]

hmm, so all i need to do is round up a bunch of feral cops and stick them in a woodpile, call the local authorities and tell them i have a feral problem on my premises.......

 

[brandon]

Who the hell calls the police because their are kittens on their property? WTF else was this officer supposed to do? The shelters are full and no one wants the kittens. A bullet is cheaper than having a vet euthanize them. Was it really too much work for the property owner to set a bowl of food outside for them every night and just let them be?

 

[kahless]

Why did this woman not try to find a home for the kittens or call around to see which shelter had room for them. Whether it is a government or private agency, the woman called a service called animal control. What idiot does not know that if the shelter is full (typical with all the shelters where I live) most likely the animals are going to be put down. Why did she allow her children to view the situation from the window knowing dam well there is a possibility they could be put down right then and there. What kind of moron is this woman.

Why did this woman not discuss exactly what was going to happen before hand with the animal control officer and be sure the children do not view what was happening.

"Research and other animal organizations accept shooting as an acceptable means of euthanasia." Did the man even know the children were peaking out the window?
I can see the homeowner calling the animal control, guy shows up, takes care of the job without realizing children were watching in the window.

If the animals were not put down you would be dealing with finding cats that died of starvation all over the neighborhood eventually, possibly getting into fights with rabid animals, rabid cats with children around, etc. Maybe this was the humane way of dealing with it.

I do not like it, it is sad but it is a fact of life when you cannot find a home for the kittens. This woman and people need to get out of fairy tale land and come back to reality.

Oh bullshit!

Cops shooting kittens?

What a drama queen..........It's the best thing for the kids/kittens my ass.

Or maybe the cop just really likes shooting kittens.

I'm sure he probably feared for his life.

Obviously you did not read the article nor what I posted. "Humane Officer .. had responded to a complaint from a Vista Lake Way homeowner He informed her that shelters were full and that these cats would be going to kitty heaven,”

Not a cop. A "humane officer". The woman was told the shelter is full and the animals would be put down. Lazy woman did not try to find a home for the animals nor try to find a shelter that was not full. Then bitches when service does the job they told her they were going to do.
