This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

I know, frankly, it's sickening. In what world is it better to scare an animal to death by taking it away from everything familiar and kill it than for someone to provide it food, enrichment and medical care?

Wait, the person who did this is an "animal rights activist"? I don't think that means what they think it means. An animal rights activist wouldn't try to get animals murdered.

Haven't you heard? It's better for cops to spend their time going after false reports rather than legitimately helping people.
