so the dog was aggressive and they used tasers? what's next, pepper spraying a chihuahua?
what would you suggest then? let it keep attacking?
honestly if a dog is that out of control and already bit someone, you gotta do something. better than shooting it i guess
still, tasers just cruel. find a better way
poor dog, probably scared and confused. owners need to take responsibility instead of the cops zapping everything
ffs tasers on a dog? couldn't they just use a catch pole or something? typical nz police overkill

lol cop out. always excuses
worked in animal control for years. sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. better than the dog killing someone
hope the person is okay. that's a serious injury. glad the police sorted it before it got worse
yeah nah get stuffed. tasers are for people not animals. absolute joke
i volunteer at a shelter and this is just sad. dogs don't understand why they're being shocked. poor thing
facts. people need to train their animals properly
