Police Deliberately Run Over Dog To Kill It

Police Deliberately Run Over Dog To Kill It.

Here's an interesting news item where the police in Wales decided to kill a dog by running it over.
The incident happened at 3am on February 22nd 2016 on the A55 road in the area between the Llanfairfechan roundabout and the Conwy tunnel.

Apparently a dog was running loose in this area and it bit a policeman while he tried to catch it.
After weighing up all other options the police decided to drive their car at sufficient speed enough to kill the dog as quickly as possible.

The full statement by the police is on their website.

At 3am in the morning you would think it would be quiet enough to sort a stray dog out.
Why did they not get the dogs unit in or better still, tazer it :headscratch:
Behave yourself :lol:

They might have had no option at the time but its an embarrassment for the police.
Very primitive to say the least.

Its an unorthodox method I agree but maybe the police thought it was necessary.
After all, its only a dog :red-car:

Its a bit barbaric the way the police ran over the dog.
Its not exactly a humane way of killing an animal on the roads.
Whoever though of doing this wants sacking!

Unconventional to say the least but the police thought that it was the best thing to do at the time.
Who are we to argue as we were not there.
It does seem a bit over the top though.

Its an unconventional method to kill a stray dog but effective.
I would like to see the police car afterwards to see what damage was caused to the vehicle paid for by the public.
