Taser Madness: Police Tase Then Shoot Chihuahua Dead (Video)

It's official, Taser Madness is in the air. Not only did we learn of a 72-year-old who got tasered in Texas, now comes word that police in Blue Ash, Ohio have shot dead a five-pound Chihuahua, but only after tasing it first.

The 5-year-old Chihuahua, named Jack, belonged to the Bullock family, who bought him several years ago for their now 12-year-old son. While the Bullock’s were out, Jack escaped and the police had to get involved.

The way the Bullock family found out about Jack's fate is truly shocking. When they returned home, they found three bullets on their porch and blood was splattered everywhere. There was also a note asking them to call the police about their Chihuahua.

Of course, they learned that the dog had escaped and that police had tased and then killed their beloved Jack.

Scott Bullock told the local media that he couldn’t understand why the police hadn't called the SPCA.

'They didn’t make that phone call other than to come scoop the dog off the porch after they shot him. Two grown men that can’t gather up a five-pound dog – and they’re trained police officers – sounds ridiculous to me."

"He was cornered on the porch and scared," said Sharon Bullock. "The officer bent down bare-handed to pick up Jack, and Jack bit him."

"My five-year-old cried himself to sleep the night before last, wanting his dog," she said.

The local police department claim that the officers handled the situation according to department policy.

Look, this is just getting ridiculous. This was a 5-pound-dog. Where are the PETA freaks when you need them (and by freaks, I mean fanatics, not anything derogatory)?

This, combined with the great-grandmother that was tased last month, makes us wonder, should tasers be banned, especially if the police cannot figure out how to use them responsibly?
