Dogs Reportedly Shot by Laughing Police Officers deserve Justice (PETITION)

Animal Petitions.org


DETROIT, Michigan -- Three non-threatening dogs were allegedly murdered by five police officers.
Officers Gaines, Paul and Morrison, along with two other Detroit policemen, were executing a search warrant at the home of Nikita Smith, who was suspected of possessing drugs.

In order to make sure her dogs were safe, Smith put two of her dogs in the basement and one of her dogs in the bathroom.
One of the dogs apparently escaped the basement and ran to go sit next to Smith, at which point an officer allegedly shot it.

The officers then went down to the basement, shot another one of her dogs, and then shot the last dog through the bathroom door, according to reports.

Afterwards the officers laughed about the incident.

Demand that the prosecuting attorney suggest that these police officers be punished to the fullest extent of the law if is found that they committed this cruel and inexcusable act.

Dogs that are not presenting a threat to others don't deserve to be shot in cold blood.
