Puppycide

by Paul Jacob, Contributing Author: The terms of the War on Drugs is non to live reckoned simply inwards dollars. Or inwards that to a greater extent than serious accounting index: lost lives. The hitting to our civil liberties has been enormous, too, as well as instrumental inwards setting upwards the modern Surveillance State.

But beyond these, at that spot is a stranger result: the War on Drugs is also, de facto, a War on Dogs.

“Detroit police pull officers shot 54 dogs final year, according to populace records obtained yesteryear Reason,” writes C.J. Ciaramella. “That’s a marked increase over the number reported yesteryear the subdivision inwards 2016 as well as 2015, as well as to a greater extent than than twice every bit many every bit Chicago, a metropolis alongside roughly ii meg to a greater extent than people.”

Reason magazine has been roofing the War on Dogs yesteryear police pull forces across the province — identified inwards Ciaramella’s article every bit “puppycide” — for years, as well as I’ve mentioned it hither on Common Sense, too. The work is non dogs shot because they are wild, or convey rabies, or the like. One expects that kind of thing.

What is problematic is that a tertiary of the Detroit shootings took house inwards the course of study of no-knock raids as well as other mutual police pull actions entailed yesteryear contraband interdiction. The Detroit number turns out to live “more beast shootings than the entire Los Angeles Police Department performed — xiv full — inwards 2016,” Ciaramella relates.

Excessive shooting of dogs is costly to cities, of course of study — to taxpayers, to live precise — inwards terms of civil lawsuits filed as well as settled. And to families, to a greater extent than or less of them quite innocent of whatever crime, who lose their pets.

It is a sign of a police pull civilization corrupted yesteryear . . . the War on Drugs.

This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.
