The dog thing is easy to argue:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_dog_...ted_States
Look at all the years between 1887 and 2000. Not many people getting killed by dogs, a couple a year. Mysteriously, after people start buying pit bulls, the number goes up by a factor of 10+.
There's not some weird coincidence here, it's just a fact that the way these dogs attack makes them more likely to maim or kill. Cops don't have any responsibility to wait until these fugly mutts latch on and perhaps lose use of a hand or gain a limp to "be sure not to harm a lovable pet". If some idiot has a tiger for a pet and lets it loose toward a cop they should shoot it, same applies here.
