Answer to your question: The Police.

They do it all the time now, it's practically standard procedure.

I almost said that in my original statement but I didn't want to seem like a cop-hater. But still, it's a border collie!

whoa......hold on there.....the cops found him and took him in for care.
They do not know who shot Shamrock. There is a reward.

Yeah, well, they still shoot any dogs in sight whenever they kick in a door, now, in the US. Including tiny dogs, old dogs, blind dogs, whatever dogs. Cases coming directly to mind, just lately: three cops find a chihuahua on a porch with no license, it bites one, they all fire round after round into it and...family (that's the wrong house, way too common) has a pit they've got locked up in a pen at night. The cops walk over and blow it away in the cage.

My friend's a defense attorney back home, and tried to help get a guy some relief from the city, because the police were doing (again, wrong house) a drug bust next door in the middle of the night, his dog barked, and they shot it. In the next yard. For barking at their fuckup.

No relief, BTW - the best that's going to happen even if you do get to take the cops to court on that (and that's not likely...) is you get like fifty bucks if it's a mutt, and maybe your purchase price if it isn't.

The question was asked "Who would shoot a dog like that?" Unfortunately and increasingly lately, the answer is: cops.

BTW, you got any sources for "Michael Vick has hurt more dogs than any cop has?"

Uglier? It's not like I posted direct links to any of the stories or videos. Now, those are ugly.

Truth hurts, donit? Luckily, they're busy pushing for laws making it illegal to film cops, ever, so pretty soon, maybe nobody will ever have to see a video like that again. Awesome.

Yep. And when their owners are caught doing that, they get charged with felonies. Vick went to federal prison. Cops just laugh and walk away and...not even a freaking mayor can get a simple apology for his dead dogs.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
