North Carolina Highway Patrol K9 Cop Caught on Video Abusing Belgian Malinois Ricoh, Rest of NC Department Accused of Abuse Also
Please Crosspost!!!
What’s in the water the North Carolina State Trooper K9 handlers are drinking? Whatever it is, someone needs to cut them off. One handler is already in trouble for horrible abuse of a dog in his care. Now we find out that the more of the folks in the same department may also be dog abusers, all in the name of training.
News flash, NC canine cops, abuse is abuse no matter who does it or what the excuse. If you can’t train a dog without abusing her, you DEFINITELY are in the wrong line of work!
If you want to let the appropriate NC authorities hear your views on this situation, their contact information is at the end of this post.
Thanks to Lynn H. for bringing this terrible case to my attention.
First we find out that a 12-year veteran of the NC Highway Patrol has been videoed repeatedly kicking a roped trainee dog. Then it turns out that the rest of the Canine Unit is also tainted.
Please be aware that this article contains EXTREMELY upsetting information and video. I was sick to my stomach as I put together this post.
This article comes from The News & Observer.
Video of trooper kicking dog released
Jones was fired after 14 years with the patrol.
Dan Kane, Staff WriterDog handlers for the State Highway Patrol have stunned dogs with Tasers, swung them by their leashes until they became airborne, and hit them with plastic bottles full of pebbles.
None of that was an issue until a trooper used his cell phone to record a video of a sergeant kicking his police dog repeatedly while it was leashed to a loading dock, its hind legs just touching the ground. The video was made public for the first time Monday, and it shows Sgt. Charles L. Jones kicking Ricoh, 7, a Belgian Malinois, five times, causing the dog to swing as much as two feet under the loading dock.
