    It isnt that they shot the dog so much as they shot the dog with a little girl in the back yard and instead of at least apologising for what any sane person would see as outrageous they double downed on stupid by taking the ladies dog???

    seriously wtf?

    When I saw that in the snooze I am thinking there has to be more to it... Why isn't that lady suing the **** out of them for discharging a weapon near her daughter and wounding her pet? and why the hell would they come back a week later and take the dog? what judge in his right mind would sign such a order allowing this?

    Really there has to be more to this......... maybe?


    Erie County deputies shoot dog after going to wrong house for a suspect

    Officials confiscate family’s pet after sheriff’s detectives enter wrong backyard and shoot pit bull in ‘self-defense’


    An Erie County sheriff’s detective shot a 67-pound brindle pit bull in the head at an East Concord house July 25.

    The dog, named Lady, survived, but she has been confiscated from her owner, who now fears that authorities are going to have her destroyed.

    And it is all because plainclothes detectives went to the wrong house looking for a suspect, according to Matthew Albert, an attorney for the dog’s owner.

    “That dog didn’t do anything, and now it seems they want to either have her put to sleep or dismember her forever,” Albert said. “The actions of the deputies since the shooting incident have been completely blatant and retaliatory in nature."

    Scott Zylka, executive assistant for Sheriff Timothy Howard and chief spokesman for the department, said he talked to Albert about the case Friday.

    “Discussions with department superiors on our options on the dog are ongoing,” he said.

    He would not comment further.

    This is what happened at about 2 p.m. that day on Pratham Road in East Concord, according to Albert.

    Megan Shimburski was house-sitting at her parents’ home. She was inside with her infant son. Her 5-year-old daughter, Makenna, was playing in the backyard with Lady.

    Two unmarked sheriff’s vehicles pulled up, and three plainclothes detectives got out, mistakenly thinking a man they were looking for might be at the house. They went to the backyard with guns drawn and shot Lady twice, one a grazing wound and the other in the head. Makenna was only feet away from the dog, the attorney said.

    The little girl started screaming, and Shimburski came running outside.

    The detectives claimed in court papers they shot Lady in “self-defense” because the dog was barking and charging at them, according to Albert.

    The dog survived, but emergency surgery at her veterinarian’s office cost Shimburski $1,200.

    More than a week later, on Aug. 5, the deputies and a Sardinia animal control officer returned to the home and took Lady, after having gotten a town justice to authorize the seizure on the grounds that Lady was a “dangerous dog.”

    It is possible the dog may be disposed of under provisions of the State’s Agriculture and Markets Law, Albert said.

    Now I suppose if you blame the head of the Sheriffs Dept. in Erie County - you also advocate in all other Counties that if a Officer shoots a dog - the Head of that Department should be removed - why - was he there - did he order or approve the act - not just here, but nation wide ?

    Or is it just another Dem Party attack talking point your trying to grab onto. Can your candidate give us his stand on how he would handle such incidents ?
    Because as FMD said, he's ultimately in charge. Instead of acknowledging that what went on was insane and wrong, he's going to cover up and make excuses. Do I think that every similar department head should be **** canned over this? Well if they try to cover it up or shrug it off, then yes they should go.

    What are you talking about democrat talking points? Sometimes you make no sense. Do you think I'm longing for Burt Dunn or Dobson to be sheriff? Get real, I don't have anyone in mind. The point is that we can find better.
    Democrats & Republicans Suck Alike.
