PLEASE READ THIS, PLEASE EMAIL HER, this is outrageous

Little Parrot was up for adoption - at the event to find a home - when he was accosted by a small poodle and bit the dog on the leg. Parrot’s foster Dad was in the process of controlling him when a DC K9 officer did the attached photo’s action. The police then felt it necessary to THROW him down a flight of stairs and shoot him in the head. This is outrageous, unnecessary behavior. The police are now insinuating that Parrot bit 3 people, including an officer. This dog was shot dead in a crowd of 10,000 people - with children watching.

Please help us. Events like this hurt everyone in rescue - and every pit bull trying to find a home who is continually misunderstood, mistreated, and pigeon holed. Parrot was a great dog who was taken to work every day by his foster Dad - who loved everyone he met. This a huge loss. Parrot actually had an adoptive family lined up and waiting for him before he was needlessly killed.

Speak up!! Email the DC Chief of Police at cathy.lanier@dc.gov Tell her about your disgust of her officer’s actions and demand justice for Parrot - and for every pit bull dog out there 

This goes with the last reblog if you’re too lazy to click through.

Merry fucking Christmas! It doesn’t matter where you live, you should email the DC Chief of Police.
