Two police officers belonging to Chester Police department took turns to shoot Bear, a one year old family dog, on the morning of December 10; instead of giving any explanation the duo laughed in owner Christie Fry’s face after asking her if he was her dog, saying, “Well you don’t have a dog anymore. He’s done now!”
On the Go Fund Me Page, Fry explained:
It was about 10am. Bear was a barker so I didn’t pay too much mind when I heard him, but I did look out the window. He was secure in my backyard by a tie out cable (not rope). There’s been people working on the abandoned house next door so I assumed he was barking at them. About 10 minutes later, I hear 2 gunshots. As I’m getting up I hear the third. As soon as I’m standing, I can see out my side window. Police. Fourth shot. I look at what they’re doing & see my dog on the ground. My dog starts screaming. I scream. More shots. Five, six, seven, eight. There’s 2 cops taking turns shooting him with smiles on their faces. I run out yelling “What the hell!!!!!” They said “Is this your dog?”. “Yes!!”, I replied. “What happened??!!” The officer said (& I quote!!) “Well you don’t have a dog anymore. He’s done now!” & laughed in my face… They shot my dog like he was a human coming at them with a gun.
Apparently, when Fry confronted Bear’s shooters, the animal control officer accused Bear of breaking off of his leash line and attacking him, forcing him to wrestle the dog through yard separating Fry’s property from the abandoned home next door. But Fry found many inconsistencies with cops’ version:
I don’t see how they say my dog “attacked” the animal control officer, yet his clothes were as clean as could be! Bear has dug up most of my yard & the yard next door is a disaster. If this guy was on the ground wrestling with my dog as he claims, that nice fresh khaki jacket he was wearing would have been destroyed. When Bear jumped on me, even once, I’d have pawprints on my clothes. There’s just no way! Police report says my dog didn’t bite anyone so why was putting 8 bullets in him necessary? The police said they KNEW the dog belonged to me, yet they never knocked on my door. They tried to say they’ve “been getting complaints”. Again, if you knew where the owner was, why was no contact ever made??
In the associated incident report, filed by the Chester Police, there was no mention of Bear biting/attacking anyone any of his neighbors. However, several days after the shooting, police claimed that Bear had bitten a woman. But Fry alleged this would have been impossible as Bear was secured in the yard.
According to Puppycide Database Project, it is unclear why the City of Chester Animal Control or Police Department were on the scene to begin with. Fry told PuppycideDB investigators that the officers may have been looking for another dog, a Brindle Pit Bull, that has been loose in the neighborhood for months and that occasionally showed up in her yard. “If they got a call about a loose dog, it wasn’t mine.”

Fry has started a campaign in order to raise $3,000 for legal representation and get Bear justice.
My puppy is gone. I will never get the image of them killing him out of my head. I am in contact with a lawyer, which is why I’m starting this campaign. As I explained to them, this is not about money. This is about way more than that. Police need to stop killing our pets!!!! They need to be trained on how to deal with these situations in a better way. We are also investigating to see if there is a pattern among specific officers as there have been multiple police involved animal shootings in my area in recent years.

Police need to be schooled in judgement and ethics,we need to have police, the problem is if you give a person with a personality disorder a badge and a gun then that asshole becomes a potentially lethal asshole.
fuck police fuck the government fuck america fuck china fuck countrys that hate us
Fuck you
Why China?
Because they eat dogs
DISGUSTING SLIME- EITHER OF U R NOT ‘OFFICERS’ OF THE PEACE BUT PIECES OF $HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE NEW LAWS PROTECTING OUR DOGS ‘ IF WE HAVE A SIGN TELLING YOU THERE IS A DOG IT CAN NOT BE SHOT. AND DON’T JUST PUT THE SIGN OUTSIDE INSIDE YOUR FRONT WINDOWS AS WELL. LETTERS NEED TO BE AT LEAST 4 INCHES HIGH. FOR NOT MISTAKES. AND IT CAN BE HOMEMADE.
police should be band from the privledge of using dogs if they are going to shot them for fun. or maybe if they don’t stop we should turn all dogs against them. police dogs should be band. the police don’t deserve the right anymore to use a dog and kill ansisters for doing the same job as a police dogs protecting.
Agree please put it more agressive as these scum need shooting themselfs
some hactivest should post there names all over social media so there fate may be the same of that dogs hopefully in due time
If you cant keep your dog to dig up your backyard you prolly shuldent have a dog.
You’re a Fucking moron
Perhaps you should learn to spell before making asinine comments.
Please speak English, your post absolutely made no sense, properly isn’t even a word so I guess some 10 yr old decided to post a message on an adult subject
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE AN OPINION.
SOME PEOPLE JUST ALWAYS SAY THE WRONG THING.
EITHER THAT OR A COPS FAMILY.
You prolly didnt get past third grade… prolly
Come on you immature bastard, you’re just as much of a pig as these cops! I assume you have never had a dog before in your life (a Chihuahua doesn’t count). It’s most dogs nature to dig fucking holes, some are even bred for this particular trait. It’s a habit that’s hard to brake, when the dog first get a hold of it. The dog was a year old, therefore still a puppy in some sense, at least it wasn’t fully grown. I’m pretty sure the owner is doing what she could to avoid that habit, hence why she tied it to a pole in her garden. You idiot!
The federal courts ruled cops jobs is only to uphold the law, they didn’t needt to protect and serve.
I have several dogs and a large property and a couple of my dogs are what you would call “diggers”. However, I have the digging under control and they know where they cannot dog, i.e. fencelines, and where they can, i.e. various areas I allow it in the yard. But digging isn’t the issue here, murder is. If there is property distruction, then there are fines and things that can be imposed. If there are injuries, I would demand to see them and the medical bill/s that were incurred. Otherwise, this is straight up murder. Another issue I have is the fact that they showed no respect for the owner,no remorse. In fact,they smiled,laughed,made cruel comments,took photos with enjoyment, and we’re straight up disrespectful. Most owners of dogs think of them like family,a child. To me,the rude way they treated the owner alone should be punishable,as well as the murder of her baby. Just horrible how easy it is to kill a living,breathing thing. Very sad.
They both should be stripped naked , tied to trees , smeared with pork grease and gather up some starving street dogs , and let justice take place. Most cops are rotten rejected asses.
If someone killed my dog like that that person wouldn’t be on this world any more this is just sick!
And people wonder why citizens HATE police? Really?
Someone was bitten that day
