i agree with this. the situation sucks badly..but to end it quick and safe..(quickest and safest?) the sheriff made the HARD choice.
one time this ostrich escape from a ranch. 8 cops tried to trap it safely. it kicked at a policeman, and made a break for it. my brother saw one low spot the animal would take and sprinted there. he blasted it with his shotgun about 20 yards from I-10. out on the freeway it would have been hit and possibly kill a person. he caught a rash of crap from the animal lovers. it was a split decision and he made it. he tried to stay out of the local paper, but it leaked.
it was a shame. the bulldozed the animal into the ground. it could have fed alot of people.
