It's not just dogs.....Cops kill young bull.

Anybody raised near cattle could have easily corralled this calf but the heros in blue opted for slaughter instead...."Public safety" and all...

PARAGOULD, Ark. (AP) — Police in Paragould have killed a small bull that was found wandering near the Paragould Country Club.

Jonesboro television station KAIT reports that police received multiple calls Sunday from residents who spotted the bull. Police say officers tried to capture the animal and move it into an open field, but the bull continued to walk down U.S. Highway 49.

Authorities say that the animal was cornered in a parking lot near the intersection of U.S. 49 and U.S. 412.

Authorities say they had no choice but to kill the bull because of safety concerns.

I say they were hungry. Mmmmmm, veal...

I also say the cops don't have the corner on bull--the media has a hand in that!

Quote of the day! +rep

Why is it they can whip out the cattle prod for every heckler at a political rally but they're too pink to use it on a cow?

I am speechless. What? Down the rabbit hole with you Alice.

Unnatural selection.

Ehh it's a bit different than entering private property and killing the animal. I don't know how busy the highway is.

I've shot neighbors dogs before when they entered my property and harmed my livestock and was within my rights to do it.

but is it necessary?

Corral the animal. Call animal control, let them handle it. You know the cow is not from more than a few miles away. Get in touch with the local farmer. Let him pick up his $3000 investment; it could be a $30,000 bull.

you know...

protect and serve

I see your point about the highway, but, they could have blocked traffic long enough to secure the animal. In my opinion they were just lazy and-or just wanted to shoot something
