All k9 dogs are abused hands down if you post any pro k9 stuff on my dash youâre unfollowed I donât care if weâve been mutuals for years, you can claim to be anti-cop or a leftist or whatever but if you post k9 dogs with like âa good doggo! A good boy!â fuck off, if I lose followers over this then good riddance
Itâs ALSO worth saying that police dogs serve a significant role in worsening police brutality. A dog trained to attack a human will maim them. A cop looses a police dog on someone, and that person is expected to peacefully cooperate while a dog is trying to tear their limbs off. It is very easy for those massive wounds to get infected. It is an absurd amount of violence. And beyond the initial attack, the fact that a âpoor sweet innocent doggoâ did this is used to excuse that brutality in court. Especially if the victim, panicking in the moment, lashed out at the dog. As this website has demonstrated many times, majority-white juries have more sympathies for injured dogs than the people of color who are most often victims of police brutality. So theyâre not just systemic animal abuse, theyâre also a tool for increased police brutality and to excuse
Today, ACLU California Action released a new, first-of-its-kind report examining the outdated and dangerous police practice of using attack
Reporting by The Marshall Project and our media partners exposes the damage police dogs inflict across the U.S.
hope you dont mind if i add some relevant links. the Marshall project in particular has a lot of other articles about k9s that i recommend clicking through.
i think a lot of (white) people just really don't realize how fucking terrifying and dangerous these animals are and while i understand the animal welfare angle, i think any discussion about police dogs should be focused first and foremost on their role as living weapons
yes, there are some aninal welfare concerns but even if the dogs were treated like royalty they would still need to be abolished
