Idaho Statesman, January 27, 2008
A dog that was tied to a tree was shot three times by police by rifles, once in the head and twice in the neck. The dog was reported to have attacked the owner's neighbor, but no proof is mentioned. The dog's owner's attorney reports that the person who filed the report has a history of filing false reports. Case is underway.

It's so stupid when dogs are killed because people can't take care of themselves, their kids, their pets or anything. I heard that a child went in someone's backyard and the three dogs attack the child, and now the dogs are being put to sleep. WTF is that? The dogs were protecting their owner, they don't care if it's a kid or a full grown adult. An intruder is an intruder. And it's the parent's own fault that they weren't watching the child so that they can prevent the child from going into a neighbors backyard with dogs. Stupid kid deserves it.
