How can this happen, a policeman being so stupid, careless and thoughtless that his two police German shepherd dogs die in a private vehicle outside Nottinghamshire's Police Headquarters in temperatures up to 82%F.
And what is the response of the police? Chief Supt Ak Khan said everyone on the force's Dog Section had been devastated by the incident. "We will certainly take any lessons we can get from this process and make sure we put them in place so this sort of thing never happens again," he said.
Well one lesson would be to ensure that this man is prosecuted for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and is dismissed from the police force.
The maximum sentence for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal is six months in prison and a £20,000 fine, and it seems entirely appropriate that this is served on this moronic individual.
