Yes, I saw this on the BBC News website; it has made headlines everywhere. I was going to post about it, but didn't have time. You beat me to it, Catherine.
This is a tragic case, where the arrival and departure of planes were deemed more important than waiting to find a tranquilliser gun from somewhere.
From the article:
"But there were no tranquiliser guns at the airport, and the police do not have them either."
Another strange thing: the article says that the airport "ordered" the police to shoot the dog. Surely, a civil airport cannot order the police to do anything?
