Good luck trying to make a rational point to people who worship a certain species of animal . Growing up it was just the way it was done. It sucked but was just something you had to do.
As of a few years ago though, it is now a felony in my state to do so. I imagine the veterinarian lobby had at least a small hand in getting it passed.
I put down my last myself after he got hit by a car and will probably put down the next if the time comes.

You'd think I was saying going around and shoot all the dogs.
I've said the same thing forever. Before it was vogue to pay a doctor to shoot them full of poison to end them, (And that's certainly a viable way to do it, I'm not begrudging people the option. It's certainly cleaner) the way people did it was the same pretty much since we figured out gunpowder.
It's effective and quick and merciful if done right. It's present in our literature,
"Ol Yeller." "To kill a mockingbird" others.
If death is the end result then the path to it isn't much of a difference and people should be allowed to do things as they see fit, within reason.
It didn't make our ancestors monsters and it doesn't make someone a monster today to choose bullet over poison.
It's in how it's done.

"Mishandled" is a very generous term here.
More like "trash human" way to handle this. This dude should've never been a police officer and is the small town retard type that gives the whole profession a bad name.
I can't possibly imagine what he was thinking, but he should face much harsher penalties than the other two as a person trusted with authority.
How completely trashy, careless, and cold does one have to be to even *suggest* just shooting the neighbors dogs because they don't feel like taking care of them? Let alone making the trip to supply the gun to do so? This dude is a danger to society even if he wasn't allowed a position of authority and a badge.

In way, I think could be considered more affectionate for the owner to make the final act vs loading up a sick animal and taking him to be poked by a stranger with a needle.
Sort of like in some cultures where the family still handles the burial of a loved one instead of pawning off the task onto a funeral home.

Agreed, wholeheartedly!

I get your point...but have you been to the bustling metropolis of Glenmora? Does not surprise me AT ALL that this was a suggested method. It's a podunk country town. Probably the way his daddy had done it.
If he had told them "take them and drop them off at the pound (where they will be killed by poison.)" would you be as upset?
Look, I'm not defending them, but this situation is fricked up on the person who abandoned the dogs and the neighbor that killed them more that about the dispatch method...IMO

That was my uncle's opinion. They were his friends that shared their lives with him and were loyal. So it was his job as their master to lead them to the clearing at the end when they were too old and hurting and blind
He'd take them to the spot, dig the grave. Give them a treat...and do the deed. But it was his hand that did it because they were HIS dogs.
Now I don't begrudge anyone doing it the new way. I understand their position and respect their choice.
But I understand and respect his way too. And don't think it's anyone's business when it's your own personal affair.

If the neighbor had abandoned them completely, just open the door and let them go freely. Attempt to get them adopted. At the worst help the neighbor that agreed to take care of them by using your police cruiser and time on the job to bring food yourself. All better options.
There's a dozen ways this could've ended better, some even a "feel good" story instead of a story of heartless trash killing innocent dogs simply for existing and being an inconvenience.
There's no excuse.

Damn I wonder if the animals knew what was up.
Dig the grave after maybe?

great, more dogs roaming free to get hit by a car and run into the woods to die slowly.

they tried to get animal control to take them in. Shelters are slammed up because they all want to be "no kill". Resulting in situations like this....or the worse car scenario.
