I am pointing out that dealing with animals falls under animal control. Not police officers. The exception being an in progress attack and even then a gun probably isn’t the best choice considering the animal would be next to/on the person it’s attacking.
The article points out that the reason is unclear. Based on what we know about how police offers act, how police departments respond, what punishments they face, and how they update their procedures/trainings, it draws a clear conclusion.
The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear. Some factors include mistaken identity, warrantless searches, lack of training, and legal protections for police officers when using force, including against animals[1].
Well thats a bunch of bullshit. The reasons are exceedingly clear. To minimize the chances the dog will attack; to inflict trauma and anguish on the citizen; and to be a big fuckin idiot man with a gun and a teeny-tiny little cop pee-pee.

This is speculation because it’s reporting on the possible reasons for this estimated amount of pets killed by police. The title says 10,000 are killed a year but talks about estimates. The title is misrepresented.
Agree on the animal control part but most municipalities skimp or forego animal control.
