These Dogs And Criminality Go Together...

Police said in a statement: “Officers were deployed to the scene and detained a man on suspicion of burglary, attempted burglary and possession of a Class A drug before transferring him into Derbyshire Police’s custody.

“Two dogs present in the property, believed to be an unregistered XL Bully and a pit bull type crossbreed, were displaying aggressive behaviour and could not be safely contained or seized.

“Due to the heightened risk of harm as a result of the level of aggression from both animals, a decision was made to humanely destroy them at the scene.”

Well done cops! For once, the taxpayer isn't on the hook for kennel costs, and no kennelmaid is at risk of being mauled until some bewigged moron can drag himself to the bench to order their destruction. They won't make another family's trip to the shops a living nightmare now.   

Of course, over on Facebook, the pitnutters are boo-hooing over the 'unnecessary deaths' of the maulers, some wondering why the neighbours weren't able to take them in (of course the police refused, idiots, when they seize an illegal weapon they don't just turn it over to any Tom Dick or Harry!).

And complaining the cops made a mess of the shooting (Well, it was Yorkshire armed plod and dogs are a smaller target than horses).

They needed Limehouse cop - he made a much better job of it. I await the inevitable doggy chavshrine...
