Dog Killers and Michael Vick

Okay, I lied in my previous post, I have another quick post/link to point to from Radley Balko before I finish moving snow around.

Milwaukee resident Virginia Villo is suing that city for the 2004 police shooting of her lab-springer spaniel mix, Bubba.  As part of her lawsuit, she requested police reports of every dog killed by Milwaukee police over a nine-year period.  The request turned up 434 dead puppy reports, or about one every seven-and-a-half days.

Read Balko’s entire post.  He titled the post Puppycide, but I think the more apt title is Dog Killers.

Where’s the outrage over the number of dogs killed by cops as compared to the outrage exhibited over the fact that Michael Vick was fighting dogs to the death?

If you have a dog, and the cops come to your home, on any pretense, be prepared for your dog to be killed.
