KILL THEIR DOGS!
00:02
NBSL!
00:04
Hi, I'm Sandra. I'm the organizer of this protest.
00:08
And we are here basically because so many dogs have been killed,
00:12
shot by South Yorkshire Police lately.
00:16
And some of those dogs were completely innocent.
00:20
And it just simply isn't necessary.
00:24
Many of us here are dog owners, obviously.
00:28
And we are just really not happy with how things are going at the moment.
00:32
And we are trying to appeal to the police, but also to Oliver Coppard
00:36
to talk to us and see how we can make changes.
00:42
I believe that police are really struggling at the moment
00:46
after the introduction of the ban, and that's understandable.
00:50
We all know that they didn't get additional banning, etc.
00:54
But the consequences of this for our dogs is that armed officers get sent out straight away
01:02
if there's any report of a dog being lose, or even malicious reports.
01:08
And armed police arrive, no questions asked, and just shoot the dogs.
01:12
I know they say they, you know, evaluate the situation,
01:16
and they make an assessment.
01:18
But, you know, from what we see on the ground, this is not really happening.
01:22
And the problem is also that, of course, armed police are not dog handlers.
01:26
They can't read dog behavior.
01:28
They don't know whether a dog is dangerous or not.
01:30
So, yeah, I mean, it's horrible, has horrible consequences.
01:36
And we can't forget that, you know, too many people, dogs are like children.
01:42
They're their family.
01:44
And if I imagine my dog being shot, it's, yeah, it just doesn't matter.
01:50
Yeah, I think the finances of the whole thing need to be restructured.
01:56
And, you know, there needs to be more investment in dog handlers and dog units.
02:02
So people, you know, there need to be more dog-experienced people
02:06
that police can call on when there is a dog incident.
02:10
Many of the dogs that have been shot could have easily been seized by an experienced person.
