Animal Control Officer Kills Stray Dog
KENTUCKY....
Breanna Rhoades says a dog called Bugsy befriended her and other workers around the Whitley Pharmacy, and, when it rained recently, they saw him hunched near a dumpster for cover, so they called animal control, assuming an officer would take the dog to the shelter. Instead, the officer pulled out a .22 rifle and shot the dog twice, killing it. County officials claim other people called saying they were afraid of the dog, and it had nearly caused car accidents on a busy nearby highway. The county judge executive says the officer's poor judgement is clearly not the protocol of his office, and the officer will be disciplined.
