wow now that is sad.........i can see killing the vicious ones if they had
to for safety, but the dog at the end of the video who was looking so
lovingly up at the national guard officer was touching as she held it's paw.
The guys in the trucks looked like viglanty groups,,,crazy just going around
shooting dogs for the supposed good of the dogs :((
