A lot of the k9 handlers still have kennels in the back of their vehicles / pickups
This is inexcusable. Period.
Who is being charged with negligence?
A life is a life. There is no excuse for murderng those loving animals.
Cops are above the law.So where is PETA in these murders.I thought cop dogs were like officers.Iguess only if we murder them.I mean leave them to die in a car.
Dogs lives matter!
Poor dogs.
Why couldn't the police officers check on the dogs status for Christ sakes? These dogs died a terrible, terrible death. These officers should be held accountable.
