For another, apparently they told her if she didn't sign the paperwork for them to dispose of the dogs "HUMANELY", she would go to jail.
I read this last night and then again this morning then it hit me....you said
apparently
So you were NOT there? Who is giving you your info?
I got mine from John C of the Coryell County Sheriff office. YES he was one of 3 officers who was in charge of humanely disposing the animals.
She was not told she would go to jail if she did not sign the papers. She was told she or the sheriffs had to dispose of the animals and if she did not then she would go to jail over the loss of the livestock. Do you know how many animals were killed by this pack of free roaming dogs? I do and if I had suffered the loss of that many animals I would have handled the situation MYSELF. But her neighbors gave her more than ample opportunities to contain them. She said she could not , they kept getting loose. She never offered to pay restitution for any of the livestock that her dogs killed.
After talking to him he did NOT enjoy nor did any other officer there in thier duty of shooting these dogs. Yes, he said one dog was shot more than once and he was responsible for having to shoot it another time. All others were put down with one shot.
YES I am a transplant city girl and there are some things I dont understand about how small towns work BUT do NOT tarnish law enforcement.
90% of officers do thier job with pride and respect for the citizens they are in charge of protecting. They do thier job to the best of thier ablity and go out of thier way to find a solution that will make everyone happy. They are placed in dangerous situations and they have to make hard decissions. They deserve respect and honor. Then to have some one who has an axe to grind trash thier name.
No I dont know John or anyone in the Coryell Sheriff Office.
All this post is a tool to stir up emotions and cause bad feelings toward the Sheriff's office.
I am sure you can see I hold the officers of law enforcement in HIGH esteem. I will defend them after I confirm the facts. I have been to too many police funerals to have someone bring down the respect these men /women are due by placing themselves in the line of fire.
