A policeman shot a Chihuahua with a weight of 2.5 kg as "It was hitting a jogging person"

Ohio at Blue Ash last Friday, a police officer was killed Chihuahua was said to have happened. According to the police officer, Chihuahua was biting a person while jogging and did not depart, and the policeman bit me, so it seems that he was inevitable. Even in Japan, there are occasional news that dogs are attacked by dogs while jogging while riverbeds are jogging, but sometimes the dogs that attacked are large dogs such as Tosa dogs, but I feel that this case is not the case, Why has such a tragedy happened?

Details are as below.

The case was encountered by Scott Bullock and Sharon Bullock's dogs, a Chihuahua 's "Jack" bought a few years ago for his son's birthday. When the incident occurred the family left for the family funeral, and when coming home there was a memo from the police saying there was contact with the blood, three bullets, and dogs on the porch of the entrance.


According to the local Blue Ash police, Jack was attacking a jogging person and could not separate the things that went to help, but on the contrary it gun fired because a policeman caught him. The cop who coped with it seems that both hands were bitten 17 times and 9 times respectively. Paul Hartinger, a police officer, said, "There was an obligation to peel off the dog, I succeeded in peeling off the dog once, but this time I was attacking the policeman," he said in fact, Although he seemed to manage to do something, the stun gun was in bad condition and there was no way to fire.

Bullock said, "Why did not the police contact the SPCA (animal abuse prevention association) to catch a 5 pound dog," but after the incident the autopsy of the dog According to a report from SPCA, the dogJack Russell TerrierHe told me that he weighed 20 pounds (about 9 kg). According to the police, Bullock and his wife have not registered for keeping dogs and have not vaccinated against rabies or other diseases. Even in Japan, when keeping a dog for rabies prevention, it is necessary to register with the administration, and now 6.73 million are registered in all over Japan. It seems that dogs who have not been registered have become subject to extermination as wild dogs, so perhaps this incident may have been treated as a wild dog.

Addendum: I modified some and added about dog registration.
