Original Note:
Many continue to lobby against police executing people's pets on sight, when they pose no immediate threat to humans. It's estimated that in the US, 25 - 30 dogs are shot daily in front of their owners. Proper euthanasia of an animal requires care, to avoid distress. https://www.techdirt.com/2021/09/09/body-cam-video-shows-cop-killing-harmless-dog-within-15-seconds-arriving-scene/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/11/13/police-can-shoot-your-dog-for-no-reason-it-doesnt-have-to-be-that-way/ https://caninerabiesblueprint.org/IMG/pdf/Link72_Euthanasia_WSPA.pdf
