Man I hate cops so useless. They use a freaking swat team to go into the place and yet they are afraid of two dogs so they shot them such Political BS and no reason for the warrant . I don't know how that doesn't apply to the criminal code, manslaughter is still manslaughter wether it's a person or animal.

This is BS because you should not be having any alligators in your home or owening them they are very dangerous. I am glad that they got rid of them and going to put them whear they belong in a zoo or whear it's safe. You can't be having dangerous reptiles and if one gets lose it could hurt someone very badly.

Police executed a search warrant on Cullen's building on Wednesday afternoon and found the animals. Why the warrant was issued in the first place has yet to be revealed. But when officers first entered the building, they felt threatened by some dogs that met them at the door. Those officers shot and killed two Tibetan mastiffs.

you do not find a problem with that?

Wonder what you would feel like having your door kicked in while you were not home and your animals were seized and some of your pets killed?

But still you do not have a problem with the police busting in Doors for no Legitimate reason and the Go..Opps but look what we found...I Imagine that if you did enough research you just might have an Illegal animal in your collection..and you local wildlife expect might say your abusing your animal because it is underfeed and neglected and you can go to jail

If too many pepole start complaning and there is enough to go on then they have the right to remove those animals. Alligators are very dangerous and should not be kept in in homes with pepole. They are wild animals and if given a chance they will go and can kill someone and small kids. And you say for no reason? they had every reason to get in there and get those dangerous animals out of there. Safety comes frist and I was living very close by him and found out that there is dangerous animals in there I would want the police to get them out. Befor they get out and hurt someone or a child we need to look at safety and we need to make sure that everyone is safe having dangerous animals is not keeping others safe.

Keeping a alligator in home is no different then a gun or chemicals. All can kill, but if someone is RESPONSIBLE then its not an issue. I know many people who have kept venomous(I myself have). I have no idea what his set up was like. If he was keeping it in a little 12 inch kitty pool then yea, I might think thats not a proper set up for the animal(If there freaking out over baby alligators then they are idiots, they should start attacking pet shops for baby burmese pythons then).I doubt they pulled a 9ft alligator out of there. Its wrong for what they did. The hobby gets attacked quite often, and there are some people that make us look bad.

LOL okay I am not going to say anything because this is so stupid and this thread is not even wroth my time. Iam not for alligators or any other dangerous aniamls being in someone's home they belong in zoos or in the wild not in your home. Just like keeping a bear in your home it does not belong there. And Venomous snakes should not be kept in your home all it takes is for it to strike and thats it. I can't tell you how many pepole have got killed becuase they have had venomous or other dangerous aniamls in there home. Or they have bears or lions lol they are not ment to be in your house they are ment to be in the wild or somewhear they can not harm pepole.

What is all this mess?? he he he, well, I actually have to say that MORE PEOPLE get killed every year for dog bites, guns, car accidents, OBESITY, heart attacks, drug or alcohol abuse than for keeping "dangerous animals" ..... Police officers did VERY BAD by killing those dogs, they were only defendig their home!! I have to agree with jpstodfwtexas, bad move from the police!! If they DID wanted to start an investigation they should have done it differently, and the dogs would be fine right now, if they wanted to take away the animals there are better ways to do it. It is amillion times more dangerous to keep guns in a house, that means the police should attack every one who owns a gun?? THEY OWN GUNS THEMSELVES!!
