Another heartbreaking story of man's stupidity and cruelty. He never should of shot that dog, and he certainly shouldn't get away with it. Thanks for posting Cory. I will be sending a letter, and calling and sending email.

Another reason cops are ill suited to carry firearms, even if its just the scum imbued ones. Opening fire through anger is the very reason that scumbag needs to be punished. It shows he is unstable.

So sad and so sick. If anyone is aware of a petition regarding this, please let me know!!!! I could not find one on the site.

This is just another stupid act of inhumanity and the police officer should be charged with unlawful killing and cruelty and suffering to an innocent creature. I can't see any sign of a dog bite on this imbecile's leg. If there is a petition that I can sign I will willing do it. Please let me know if someone does start one.

What a big, brave man Damien Allen is - I DON'T THINK! This poor little pup was only trying to protect her young - as any animal would do, all he had to do was step out of her way, or step back. It's not as if she even looks fierce. What a total cowardly scumbag - wonder how brave he is when he isn't standing behind the barrel of his gun. He should be prosecuted for unnecessary violence, cruelty and causing undue suffering.

I think it is time to check the background of this police officer. What other acts of animal cruelty has he perpetrated? Isn't it illegal to discharge a firearm within such close range of an occupied dwelling? I would love to know if there are any other disciplinary notices in his file. I admit, it can be scary to have a dog grab hold of one's clothing (which his "bite" picture seems to show. Reacting with deadly force is NOT the answer. Would he do the same thing if a kid came up and grabbed hold of his pants leg? This is a tragic incident and this man needs to be stopped. If someone starts a petition to have this cop fired or suspended, please let me know.

This makes me sick! Some of these so called law enforcement officers seem to think they are beyond reprimand and seem to feel their actions are above question. I hope Mr. Allen gets punishment rightfully due and quickly! Such heartlessness.

I hope someday he gets the "mercy" he showed Sally! What an ass!!!! He should be arrested for animal cruelty. Poor Sally.

Noted with sadness. RIP Sally. The person responsible for this cruel act has lost his humanity and is a danger to society. He deserves to lose his job and be jailed.Can we have a petition organized on this, if so, please advise me.

Everyone,

I am going to monitor the situation over the next few days, and will start a petition if needed. As for now, please write to everyone indicated within the web link and see if we can get some answers about what action may be taken against Damien Allen.

Ya know, I can't wait for the day when the animals take over and get their revenge on us humans. I know I fall into that category (unfortunately) but we so deserve whatever we get from them! Poor Sally. R.I.P.

This is a blatant "overextension" of his so-called powers, another outrageous abuse of our law enforcement system!! I hope you get what you deserve Officer Allen!!

This is truly a heinous crime and one that justifies further investigation and judicial sentencing. Too many of these incidents occur, and far too many of them go without punishment. Hopefully, the accumulated bad karma of this individual will punish him for this terrible atrocity.

Have gun, will shoot. Wear uniform, will shoot more. Didn,t the idiotic sap know that many dogs with very young pups will never allow an unknown person within spitting distance of the pups, besides many also have post natal insecurities. Bravo America, the land of the brave!

I'd say contact IDA
http://www.idausa.org/about.html

Problem is, your talking about Alabama. One of, if not the only State that has NO ANIMAL PROTECTION LAWS on the books. No animal cruelty, no nothing.
The best they can hope for is getting the low life coward for harm done to their family:(
If that leg was dog bitten,,, I'm 14 years old (don't I wish)
Nikki Kaye played with the mailman once, (I'm sure he was kicking Paige (our old Samoyed) his leg looked like meatloaf.

I'm with you Patricia - what goes around comes around and I hope he will get his punishment shortly - if not from the law, from nature.
