CASE REVIEW:

 

In the fourth week of October, 2000, Caesar, an English Bulldog and

family pet of 8 years, was gunned down in his own yard in Cheatham

County, Tennesse by a police officer who decided that Caesar must be

killed because a neighbor reportedly felt threatened by the animal. The

neighbor complained to police three times. English bulldogs are not mean

spirited animals to begin with! This animal was " just a big baby " and He

" wouldn't hurt anyone " as his family stated.

 

Caesar had never harmed anyone, and nobody will argue with that

statement.

Yet, he was shot in the head, and he died a very wrongful death. We

can't stand by and let this go on unnoticed! Caesar's human companion

begged the officer not to kill Caesar, but he said he had to kill the

dog immediately and so he did.   He killed Caesar in front of his

family and other bystanders, putting people in danger as well as the

animal. Had a bullet ricocheted, someone could have been hurt or killed.

The sheriff is supporting his deputy, stating that " Hamlin is not

negligent. He is a good officer. "
