Police Killing of a Dog
- Share via
There is something very wrong in a society where a police officer draws his gun and kills a beautiful, friendly dog for no apparent reason. (Times, March 5), “Dog’s Death Gives Life to Controversy.”
Transfer this scene to the jungle where the same officer is threatened by a charging tiger or lion, a snake or any wild beast, we then find justification for the officer’s act.
Or are we all now living in a jungle where a policeman can feel threatened and motivated to kill a 50-pound black Labrador?
