Free Thought Project – by John Vibes
A police officer in Mills, Wyoming was recently accused of leaving his K-9 dog in a police car for over 6 hours on a hot day with the windows rolled up. The dog was found dead after spending an entire hot day in the car without any water or ventilation. According to an affidavit obtained by KCWY13 news, it was 86 degrees on the day when the dog was left in the vehicle.
The car was parked in direct view of a security camera at the police station, which captured officers Zachary Lee Miller and Jake Bigelow leaving the dog in the vehicle. Miller is the senior officer who was responsible for the dog, but he has put the blame on Bigelow, his trainee. Miller said that he “yelled” at Bigelow for not turning the air conditioner on, but the fact still remains that the dog was in the car for 6 hours unattended, without any water.
Both officers are still employed with the Mills Police Department, allthough Miller is apparently on leave as a result of “unrealted personal reasons”. Miller has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge and is schedule to appear in court soon.
Just two months ago an Indiana police officer was caught on tape beating his k-9 dog.
These officers clearly violated several sections within the Wyoming Cruelty to Animals Statutes, namely section (b) which states:
(b) A person commits cruelty to animals if he has the charge and custody of
any animal and unnecessarily fails to provide it with the proper food, drink or
protection from the weather, or cruelly abandons the animal, or in the case of
immediate, obvious, serious illness or injury, fails to provide the animal with
appropriate care.
Had this been a person without a shiny metal badge, we can rest assured that they would be ‘punished to the full extent of the law.’

Animal cruelty??? Animal cruelty???!!!!
WTF? That’s a police dog, meaning it has more rights than a civilian and is considered a police officer. So in other words, if you killed that dog, that’s murder. Why aren’t these cops charged with murder?
If I did this, I would be arrested and charged with murder of a police officer. These cops are still employed and get a slap on the wrist?
Unfrigginbelievable!!!!
As always, the laws don’t apply to pig cops, even if they are insane ones.
My thoughts exactly! If a civilian kills a police dog, they are charged with the murder of an officer, but when a cop kills a police dog, it’s just business as usual. “Unfrigginbelievable!!!!” sums it up well!
“Had this been a person without a shiny metal badge, we can rest assured that they would be ‘punished to the full extent of the law.’”
Yep!
Those cops are idiots
The K-9 cops here when they go into a restaurant for lunch leave the engine running the AC on, and the hood of their cars or trucks open to help get the heat out of the engine bay.. doesnt effect the car, they are built to deal with it if they are mechanically sound vehicles
these cops should go up for animal cruelty just due to the fact their Darwin Award hasen’t shown up yet , they are stupid and therefore shouldn’t be policing ANYTHING !
If you leave your dog in the car locked up with the AC on and go in to the restaurant for lunch you can bet a cop will be called and your ass will be busted for doing the exact same thing the cop does all the time. If you had touched that dog it would have been battery on a police officer and you would become a felon for life. Cops live under a totally different set of rules than the common citizen and if you think that they don’t ,think again!
Yep.
Hope they don’t have kids.
Especially babies.
