Euthanasia at the scene is likely the more humane option and still quicker than moving an animal that’s been run over across town so it can die a slower, more painful death
No one said anything about moving the animal across town. Do you think that euthanasia requires some special equipment that’s somehow not portable? If this happened in some rural outback town without a local vet I would understand your point.
But regardless, I’d think a police officer would know where to aim to kill an animal at presumably close range, and not miss two times.
Whether she actually saw and her having PTSD is something you’ve just determined to suit your view.
Yeah, that’s called a hypothetical situation. Do you think that police officer considered the possibility that children could be present at the time they took the first shot? Because I don’t.
I’m really sorry but I just don’t really give the police the benefit of the doubt anymore.

While I accept the point about portability, I’ve just never seen or heard of vets performing these sort of tasks in the street, the time spent suffering is still an issue while you track down a vet willing to do it, and wait for them to travel regardless.

Yes, this was apparent by your first comment assuming literally the worst of the police intentions and their involvement in subsequent comments. The way you phrase the impact also wasn’t as a “hypothetical”. Either way we’ve probably fleshed out this particular online conversation sufficiently. Have good one.
