      These two are different. The officer was attacked by the dog. That’s why he shot the dog.

      The deer they appear to be claiming because it was domestic.

      I get the domestic debate but I don’t agree with it. I’m not sure that’s the real reason but that is a standard policy to kill domesticated wild animals.

      It’s to prevent diseases from being spread.

      I’m not sure how much of a risk it is. I’d prefer they just let the animals live.

        If you have to put down an animal, you just shoot it in the head or heart quickly and mercifully.

        This guy (allegedly, but appears to be recorded) tortured the animal first before killing it.

        This is a sick psyco killer with authority. He should not be on leave, he should be forever separated from the population before he starts wearing human skins.

          I never defended what this guy did. As I said I didn’t see a need to kill the deer.

            It’s strange to need to spell this out.

            The issue isn’t whether or not the deer needed to be killed. That’s a different argument that was rendered irrelevant, by the way this psycho killed it.

            I.E. this sick fuck, who also had a badge and can conceivably commit similar acts of depravity to humans, tortured and killed an animal in a brutal way.

            Whether the deer “needed” to be culled is irrelevant after such a heinous act.

            It’d be like nitpicking that subway security was too lax to catch a guy from jumping over the bars, after that person went on a shooting spree immediately afterwards. The turnstile jumping is completely irrelevant at that point.
