Should an Animal Control officer be able to shoot a dog who flees the scene of a crime?

With a tranquilizer, yes.

When a dog has diarrhea, their bowels get irritated and they cannot stop the diarrhea on their own most of the time. Here is what my vet recommends for my three Labradors when they have diarrhea: 1. No food for two meals. This gives the bowels a chance to recover. The dog will not starve, although they will be hungry. This is usually a necessary step to get their bowels to stop being inflamed. 2. Rice alone for two meals. 3. Rice mixed with kibble, adding more kibble and less rice each time for several days. 4. Go back to kibble. Dog sometimes just get upset stomachs. It does not mean you should change their food, unless they are getting upset stomachs a lot. It does not mean that they have worms, especially if your dog is an inside dog and well cared for. ETA: a poster below is correct, and I forgot, that when you go to the vet, you should plan to bring a stool sample with you.

umm well i do know that if animal control doesnt come in time during an emergency at someones house and the EMTs need to get in the house but theres a dog in the house...the police shoot the dog...with a bullet

YES if the dog is dangerous and killed a child or something. BUT just a dog on the loose i dont think so. MOSt of the time they shoot darts at them to put them to sleep. A rabid doggie they do .

Only if the Dog is pregnant.

i know if i caught it steeling my beer i would shoot it ,i wouldnt wait for them to show up,they are as slow as the police around here,have a great day doll

um no. That's what dogs do... they run.

Unless he was dangerous for some reason, or the officer had a safety reason the dog needed to be stopped....

i think they would just taqulize it. but they are only allowed to shoot it if it is comming after them and it is dangerous but they have other methods of catching it other then shooting it. like i said b4 they can traqulize it.

No....Can a dog knowingly commit a crime? Are they that smart?

yes

only if it life threatening, and then maybe with a tranquilizer
