Buddy Tough, RIP, a nationional disgrace on the face of Hydro and to OKLAHOMA

This is a follow up on the article Buddy Tough the POODLE and his owner Mr. Fry who police in Hydro, Oklahoma killed because the owner was jailed for breaking him out of the pound because he couldn't afford the $100 fee to do it legally.

I believe this was a gross injustice and other options could have been worked out . Whatever happened to bringing the owner in and trying to work it out instead of being a vigilante police force to an old man and his little dog? 

I am outraged and saddened that people can be so cruel and uncaring about such a petty problem as the Poodle and his owner were presenting to the citizens of this small place.   This has made the national and foreign news and I see this as a total disgrace by the city of Hydro toward a citizen of it's community and the state, now the nation. 



Another YES, BISCUIT blogger had this to say .

Note from me:

I am appalled by the Police department in the town of Hydro, Oklahoma.  I believe they did this for spite and to hurt Mr. Fry and euthanized his dog to teach him the lesson that they are the higher authority.  Yes, Mr.Fry,the owner was wrong, but he was desperate, they had threatened him by saying they were going to kill it, and his dog was his only family it appears. This dog was a poodle, not a Pit Bull or a large menacing breed.   I know that I am totally ashamed that this situation happened in the state I have always been proud of.  

I believe the State of Oklahoma should charge the city of Hydro, Oklahoma and the Police officer with animal abuse.  

I think this was a crime against Mr. Fry and his dog being euthanized was the price Mr Fry had to pay to satisfy the police department or Officer Chancellor, it's sad and cruel.

There is a lot more to this story than you read I am sure.
