39. I'd be willing to bet that the cops had orders to shoot to kill. Wouldn't a cop think twice about
killing an animal such as this in a rare circumstance like this? I would certainly have put in a call for instruction. If they had him cornered, they could have waited for animal control. But somebody higher up didn't think that that was worth the trouble, apparently.

I agree that it's a damned shame that he was butchered. Killing him should have been a LAST resort, not a first opportunity. A senseless waste. :(
