Tobi, regarding "trigger happy cops"....well, Canada is not in the same league a near neighbour, where fatal police shootings of humans is nearly 400 in just five months: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/f...3083767330
That's the figure for people killed. I shudder to think how many animals have been shot by US police - perhaps tens of thousands, maybe more. There aren't any exact figures for that, but see http://www.citylab.com/politics/2013/10/...utes/7356/
Thank goodness that police are not routinely armed in the UK. Armed marksmen are only reserved for shoot-outs with armed criminals, not for innocent animals showing no aggression. Even escaped zoo animals such as tigers and lions are tranquillised.
