Adrianne,
Thank you so much for doing this.  It is so wonderful to hear of a  positive 
solution to a very negative practice.  Hats off to you!   Thank you so much 
again and again.  Audrey Bragg

Subject: MEDIA RELEASE: 8/4: Capture Devices to be  Presented to Riverdale 
Park Police


A few weeks ago a family dog was followed for blocks and shot by  Riverdale 
Park police when cornered in a yard.  A few days ago two family  dogs were shot 
to death by the Prince George's Sheriff's department in their  own home.  A 
few months ago, the family dog was shot to death by the  Prince George's Police 
Department in a raid -- at the wrong address.
 
The Maryland Dog Federation is very concerned about the hundreds of dog  
shootings in the county and in the surrounding areas.  Many of these can  be 
avoided with the proper training and equipment.  The MDF will be  presenting two 
animal catch poles, the kind used by animal control, to  Riverdale Park Police 
Chief Theresa Chambers tonight, Monday, August 4th,  at the monthly legislative 
meeting at Riverdale Park town hall beginning at  8pm.
 
MDF president, Adrianne Lefkowitz, would remind all officers and police  
department heads, "with 40% of the country's homes owning at least one dog, I  
hope all our county's law enforcement departments can find a way to handle  
animal issues without defaulting to lethal force.  There are many  occasions in 
which non-lethal methods can and should be employed."
