Okay, I cannot get the link to add in here, but, if you got to Google and type in dogtasered,then click on the first item on the page and the video will come up.
I think it is a great alternative for not only LE but for civilians as well because it is non-lethal and the dog pretty much leaves the scene in a hurry and goes back to his home. I apologize for not being able to get the link on here, maybe soemone else could add it......I am computer stupid at times. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We had an incident where one of our officers tased a loose dog that was terrorizing a neighborhood for a two week period….the dog died. Hell of a shot…. From inside the car with both the car and dog in motion.
Same officer two weeks later had a deer that ran into an OfficeMax store. He thought that he could tase the deer and grab his leg quick while he was being shocked and drag him out…… Deer went down, officer grabs the deer’s leg, battery in the taser dies and the deer kicks the officer in the shoulder putting him out on comp for 4 weeks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Did the deer end up dying from it? Deer are incredibly high strung animals and too much stress puts them into shock and kills them pretty quick. They are, incidently, the number one exotic animal that injures people who keep them as "pets" or as livestock (even over people who keep tigers, mountain lions, etc). I was up at the Omaha Zoo job shadowing the vet there and they had a tufted deer (looks kinda like a cross between a pig and a goat) escape into the neighborhood around the zoo and it died soon after capture because of shock.

No, it didn't. I've seen plenty of deer walk away from some pretty bad car wrecks (from the deer perspective) ...then again I have also seen some that just get bumped and fall over dead.
If the video you are talking about happened within the last 6-8 months, then I have seen it. Just so happens that the agency is located in Cocoa Florida. Since you've seen it,...If its with a Rotti, look who has the leash. A 9 year old kid. An aggressive dog being walked by a 9 year amongst other kids at that. What a mess.

Howard,
Yes I think this is the one. It is a Rottie (mix I think) I did not see the small child holding the dog, I will have to watch it closer later today. I think it is a good alternative to anyone having to shoot a dog that is being aggressive, however, if the taser does not work then by all means use lethal force. I think the situation was handled well.

Yes, thats the same video. On a larger screen you can see the child with the lead. I have to say though, not all dogs that get tazed act that way...just as it doesnt have a full affect on certain humans.
