Pennsylvania Dog Owners Hold Protest at Police Station After Officer Kills Another Canine

Around a hundred dog owners attended a protest rally at the Lancaster City police station in Pennsylvania Thursday, attendee Vanessa Horne, who spoke with Police State Daily, said.

Protestors assembled after a pit bull was shot and killed by an Lancaster Police Officer in an arcade parking lot the day before.

Officers say they received a call about an “aggressive dog” loose in the parking lot of Hager Arcade located at 25 W. King St, Wednesday. Police say the caller claimed the canine jumped out of the back of its owners truck before he tried to capture it, but could not.

“During the rally, protesters were on hand with sings and their canines to voice their concerns about how dogs are being treated by police, not only in Lancaster, but around the country,” Vanessa Horne said in an email interview. “We want police departments to improve how they handle animal situations by providing appropriate training to their officers.”
