KILLING A DOG IS A "SEIZURE"
Killing of plaintiff's dog was a "seizure" for Fourth Amendment purposes, but it was reasonable under the circumstances. After having fatally shot the dog, the officers put it out of its misery.
Viilo v. City of Milwaukee, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 10900 (E.D. Wis. February 12, 2008).
Comment: So, cops kill your dog, and after they fatally injure you dog - which is a seizure - they get to finish the job off? That's sick.
