I realize this is two abominable pet stories in one day, but a reader just sent me this story, and I’m beside myself. This is possibly even worse than the poor turtle that got beaten to death on a Wisconsin golf course while trying to lay it eggs. In this case, a cop claims that he had no choice to but to shoot five kittens outside a woman’s home in order to “euthanize them.”
Oh, and he did it with children nearby, listening to the carnage.[/quote]

tactical al-Qaeda kittens?
[quote]n a nutshell, [B]a woman calls Animal Control because there are five feral kittens living outside her house.[/B] The “Humane Officer” shows up, tells her the shelters are full and that the animals will be going to “kitty heaven.” She understands that they need to be euthanized, so she consents. [B]The cop then pulls out his gun and methodically shoots all five kittens dead[/B], in front of the woman, and with her kids right inside the house listening to the carnage.[/quote]
Decent reasons behind action (if feral means what I think it means), execution of said action god fucking awful holy shit.

Ah. Thought feral meant it had like rabies or something. I retract my statement.

I don't see why he needed to do it in front of the kids, he could have taken the kittens elsewhere and done it.
should've done it away from the local population.
Alright so I'm not telling anyone about the kittens in my garage.

What a shitty ass cop.
I cannot believe the thoughts "lol better 'euthanize' them right here with my gun in a suburb" actually ran through his head.
Killing a kitten is the same as killing happiness.
why the fuck does he need to shoot them.
they euthanize them IN the shelter.
Yeah I don't think he's supposed to euthanize them on the spot.
That is not how you euthanize cats. I suspect the officer knew it and just wanted to play kitten target practice.
I understand the necessity of euthanasia in some cases, but I thought you were supposed to call professionals because they can do it [i]tactfully[/i].
If he's going just to cap them right there, he doesn't need to come out at all. It'd actually be less upsetting if I reenacted the finale to Old Yeller myself, because at least then nobody involved would be caught off guard by the action.
What'd he do after he shot them? Wouldn't there be blood and gibs everywhere? I don't think a tiny kitten would handle getting shot very well
what a fucking cunt. why spatter the brains of kittens it in front of children also?
As an Ohioan, I heard about this earlier today. The kids were inside the house and only heard the shots.
Really, he followed through all the steps and came to a reasonable conclusion and acted upon it.
"No choice"
Piece of shit trigger happy Police Officer.
Fire this cop please.

The police chief comments are mind numbing.
"I have decided his actions were appropriate and have decided not to impose any disciplinary measures for the incident."
"We are here to help those who seek our assistance. Our agency prides itself on not telling people, “It’s not our problem or there is nothing that we can do for you.” This would be the easy way out. To walk away and leave a safety issue unresolved is irresponsible."
These are trained law enforcers, right? Or am I being too logical?
A delightful quote from the humane chief officer.

[B]No. Fuck you.[/B]
[B]A guy shot five kittens. Kittens are not threatening in any way.[/B]
this sounds more like a comedy skit than something in real life
He never said he was going to shoot them he said he was going to euthanize them. When someone tells me they're going to euthanize some kittens I don't expect them to [B]fucking pull out a gun and shoot them all in a suburban neighborhood with kids around.[/B]

aaa where did that post go I was replying to?
[QUOTE=DuCT;41014856]The kids were in the house, they only heard the shots.[/QUOTE]
Nope. They were looking out the window from inside the house.
This is something i use in hyperbole to describe how evil something is, I didn't know its something that would actually happen.
I don't think he did the right thing for one big reason- I don't think firing his gun, multiple times no less, should be anything other than a last resort. If a cat was attacking someone, fire away. If there was some other kind of danger from those cats, fire away. But this sounds like a simple dispose of the cats case. No imminent danger, no reason to fire a gun.
I can only conclude then that this is a guy who has been looking for a chance to shoot something.
not really surprising this happened in a shithole like ohio
Uhhh maybe if that idiot "euthanized" everyone around too then he wouldn't be caught :rolleyes:
Omg stop rating me dumb mods police brutality please stop
Snip, was unneeded, but goddamn does this piss me off
