I have a big issue with this statement. ("The absolute last resort is using deadly force. We kind of have to start thinking about pets the same way we would about taking a human life.") No dogs are not humans and should not be treated as humans. thay are pets and should be treated as pets nothing more. It is scary to hear this type of thinking coming from a public servant. Sorry guys Nevada state law views dogs as livestock for a reason, and this should not be changed. Only California views pets as more than just animals. If the employe is found at fault he should be charged for the cost of the animal, thats it. if the owner is at fault she should pay for the losses of the company due her dog. Sounds like the dog ran off and came to an unfortunate end. Regardless of the shooting.
While I do not support allowing aggressive animals to freely roam our streets, the discharging of a firearm in a congested (posted on the same sign as the 'no large dogs roaming')area is far from a good idea and potentially far more dangerous. Please note, that the dog was not not even shot on property owned by the shooter.
As I said before, this is a perfect example of how people with no personal responsibility bring good business owners grief and endanger there property. If the dog’s owner had taken the responsibility of having a dog seriously, then this would not have been an issue. There should also be no reason that a PET should be treated as a "human life" as they are a beast of burden! Deadly force is your right to use if your property and or life is endanger. Period! A clean shoot is a clean shoot regardless of if you feel an animal should be considered a “human life”, because its not.
First of all, you dont try to restrain an Agressive animal Nor do you run or show a weak side this animal will attack and to suggest that we sit and get bit full of holes while we wait for a trained profesional to arrive or let it kill or maim a loved one is a Stupid suggestion from any level.If these so called animal lovers want to find a way to keep the animal safe then keep them in the yard.We have the right as citizens to protect our loved ones which does include our pets to defend them at all cost though sad to have to kill a animal whos only wrong was having a Stupid owner.
