When Animals Attack

A Dunbar Police K-9 dog was shot and killed Monday evening after it fought with its handler's neighbor's dog in a rural part of Kanawha County, according to Police Chief Earl Whittington.
I trust we can all agree that we have a right to protect ourselves and our own from savage animals, regardless of their affiliations or their species...?

Overall I agree with you, but the police chief felt, rightly, that the shooter had acted in self defense and so no prosecution will occur.

I never said otherwise.

True, I simply wanted to inform your readers who may not read the full news article that the Dunbar Police chief agrees with you that we have a right to protect ourselves even from police dogs. I mean(t) no disrespect, and keep up the good work!

Yeah, that was my take on the article: that the homeowner wasn't arrested and charged with killing the dog. Perhaps they haven't gotten around to granting Only One status to animals.
