Police kill innocent donkey (Page 1 of 8)

Imagine being such a bitch that you're so scared of a donkey that you shoot it. TLDR: Cop helping search for a missing kid in the middle of the night enters a field on private property looking for the kid, a donkey runs up to the cop, and cop shoots the donkey. Donkey dies. Article says nothing about cops getting permission to search the property.... Seems questionably legal. Donkey owner has gofundme that is over $100k already. 6 figures for a dead donkey. I'm 100% with the donkey owner, but that sure sounds like opportunism. |

Aimless locked the original thread, citing anti-police posts exceeding the permissible limits. Keep that in mind when responding to this thread. As for the $100k, I'd rather give $100k to a family with a dead

I don't remember the Peanut the squirrel thread being locked when the cops were called out for being stupid Sometimes bashing is absolutely and mecilessly called for. In this case, I would argue that bashing is the best option for the cops involved. |

Wow, I'm surrounded by Donkeys here at my house. My neighbors on both sides have these pet donkeys, and me and the family actually quite enjoy them. Sorry, but this is pathetic on the police officers part. I'm sure the body camera footage will make everyones blood boil. |

That really pisses me off! I have several friends with donkeys and if treated properly they are (mostly) very loving little critters. They also make good guard animals and hare hell on predators, especially 'yotes and feral dogs. FWIW, I support two donkey rescues, one mule rescue, and a draft horse rescue.  Guard donkeys sent to protect Northern Colorado cow herd from wolves |
