Ville Platte, LA Kelli Sullivan and family are grieving the loss of their pet terrier mix. But their beloved dog didnt die of natural causes as one might expect. Instead, the family says an Evangeline Parish Sheriffs deputy shot and killed the tiniest member of their family, all because the dog was barking.
I know in my heart he didnt have to shoot her. He didnt have to shoot that dog in front of my kids. He just didnt.
In fact, the officers business had already been conducted at the home, after police were called to assist with a harassing neighbor. It was toward the end of the contact with police that the dog got out of the house and ran towards the officer. The dog is just above ankle height on most people. Sullivan says the dog was just doing what it always does when strangers come to the home.
The dog got out. I walked to the end of the driveway to try to catch her.
Sullivan said her daughter was also trying to help her mother corral the dog and get it back inside the house.
My daughter was running around trying to catch her. I thought we were going to go back in the house.
She says just when she thought the dog had been caught, thats when the puppycide happened.
I walked back to the house opened the door, turned around, (and) boom, he shot her.
The young mother then described the horror the entire family, including young children, were exposed to. The dog literally exploded with the force of the handguns projectile.
It was a horrific event. He shot the dog up close and blew her skull apart in front of my children. Like her eyeballs were out of her head.
She said the officers cold-hearted insensitivity was on full display with the snarky comment he made after hed just killed who they considered a member of their family. She said the unnamed officer was upset that he had to waste such an expensive hollow-point bullet on the dog. Unapologetically she says the deputy remarked:
I had to shoot her she came at me. Then, he said, Its really a shame I had to waste that bullet because its a really expensive bullet.
While civilians are attempting to document the number of people killed by police officers per year (which tops around 1,200 annually), theres no official number of family pets killed per year and its assumed that the number may be astronomical. After all, just as the Evangeline Parish officer claimed, the police only have to claim they were in fear and they can be legally justified in killing a family pet, regardless if the animal is being aggressive or not.
Rarely if ever do families sue, and even rarer still did they win in court when they try to receive compensation for emotional or actual damages when police kill family pets. Complicating matters for dog owners, as TFTP has reported, courts in the United States have sided with law enforcement on the issue of law enforcements right to kill animals in the line of duty.
In the land of the free, police can come onto your private property, gun your tiny dog down in broad daylight, and this is called standard procedure. Well, its a damn good thing that postal workers, delivery truck drivers, pizza delivery drivers and all the other jobs that require people to go to someones home and NOT KILL THEIR DOG dont claim the same rights as cops, or family pets would probably be extinct.
The Puppycide Database Project estimates the number of dogs being killed by police to be upwards of 500 dogs a day (which translates to 182,000 dogs a year).
Because not all police departments keep track of canine shootings, these numbers vary widely. However, whatever the final body count, what were dealing with is an epidemic of vast proportions.
Incredibly, in 1 out of 5 cases involving police shooting a family pet, a child was either in the police line of fire
The so-called dangerous breeds of dogs arent the only ones that are being killed in encounters with police either as this case and the ones below illustrate.
To those that think cops killing dogs is not a problem, we encourage you to watch the video below and then take a look through our puppycide archives here.

Puppycide has been a persistent problem for police around the U.S. (even though mail carriers, who interact with America's millions of dogs on a daily basis, don't have a similar problem). Last year Reason's C.J. Ciaramella investigated how widespread unchecked police violence against dogs is in Detroit.
Unnecessary violence against animals can be a useful indicator to identify problem cops before they kill human beings. Unfortunately, state laws and contract-guaranteed job rules often make it difficult to enforce the zero tolerance policy for police misbehavior that could remove violence-prone cops from their positions.
" Any cop afraid of that tiny dog should be in prison. The family should be allowed to take a baseball bat to piggy head. "
Yep !!!
As a lineman for almost 16 years, I was exposed to many, many dogs. Never was bit, and was never afraid !!
Guys like this asswipe gives good dedicated cops a bad name, and bad image. If events come into play and the cops need public support, this shithead destroyed any possible support !!
ALL good cops should be deeply ashamed of this douche bag, and should readily denounce him !!! If they defend the shit bag, they are no better than he is, and are supporting their nefarious Agenda !!
I have many friends that are LEO, local, State, and Fed. NONE, and I mean NONE would defend this asshole. I also have two nephews that are State Troopers in South Carolina, and they hate guys like this asshole !!
One day, Karma will pay that asshole a visit !! When it happens, assholes will be all boo, hoo, hoo, wah wah wah, poor hero. I got news for them, this asshole is NOT a hero !!! HE IS A SLIME BAG DOUCHE BAG !!!
