Why don’t they all say this?

Police

Here’s a sheriff saying something that law enforcement officials don’t say nearly often enough, in response to a dog killing in Fayette County, West Virginia:

Sheriff Steve Kessler said deputies belive ^[sic] the Maremma sheepdog was shot inside a fenced-in yard sometime after midnight Monday. The dog appeared to have been shot with a large caliber weapon.

"I want to stress that this dog was inside of a fenced-in yard when it was shot and killed," Kessler said. "Anyone who would do something like this is cruel, cold-hearted and a coward to boot."

It’s good of him to say this, but it doesn’t help that so many such officials – arguably the vast majority – act like they simply don’t care, regardless whether dogs are shot and killed time and time again, or even when they’re viciously tortured – and never for any good reason, other than that they were there.
