Met Police dogs shooting: Petition to hold force ‘accountable’ reaches one million signatures

A petition to hold the Met Police accountable, following an incident in which the Met Police shot two dogs dead in East London, has reached one million signatures. The change.org appeal argues that the killing of Louie Turnbill’s dogs was “barbaric” after distressing footage of the incident was shared on social media.

The incident took place in Limehouse on May 7. The dogs’ owner Mr Turnbull, who lived on a boat with the pets who were named Marshall and Million, has expressed his sadness at the loss.
