I wouldn’t think so unless he shot the dog in the hip or something. A bullet through the brain, causing instant death, would lead to the dog having no suffering or pain. It’s probably less cruel than what the average animal shelter does to kill their unwanted animals.

my husband took our family dog out while I was away from home and put him in his truck and drove him to another area and shot and killed him…buried him. Then for the next 7 months, lead me to believe that he ran away… I am separated from him at this time…but what can happen to him? Doesn’t seem to be any laws on the books that I could find that would do anything of importance to someone who would cold heartedly take his wife’s dog…put a gun to his head and pull the trigger…then just with no feeling, dump him in a hole and cover it up. I went for 7 months hiring drones, boats, people were hanging fliers, there were news articles, grid searches, police reports, animal control reports…over 60,000 hits on his facebook page …what can the law do to him… I can not look this man in the eye without seeing the evil thing he did to my dog and the emotional and mental torture I’ve been put through because of his actions. What do I do now?
Your dead dog has a facebook page?

Sounds to me the husband was tired of taking a second place to the dog… and failed.

Somewhere I hear a BSoMeter clanging softly but firmly.

If not a BSoMeter, at least a WhackJob-o-meter. And I don’t mean only the husband.
News articles, folks. Grid searches. Mmmhmmm. That happened.
They don’t do missing dog stories on the news where you live?
I’m in Brooklyn and just off the top of my head, last year Sugar the missing pit bull was all over the news for weeks. Her owner was on all the morning shows and in the papers. The story was everywhere.
I have no opinion on the op, but news articles, grid searches, etc. and high profile missing pet stories are a thing in these parts.

You telling me that in Brooklyn NY the news people have nothing better todo than to spend weeks talking about a missing dog?
I’m pretty sure that was sarcasm. At least that’s what it says on the CNN homepage.

When the owner does things like offer 10k rewards and it becomes a trending hashtag on twitter and they have a human interest story like the dog walker selling it to a dog fighting ring to finance a drug habit … That stuff lights up the news media like a toddler on a sugar high.
Enjoy,
Thats what I think… But so that others who are responding know… I HAVE left him…not going back…but now I’m the one suffering while he gets the 5 bedroom house…and I"m living with my parents…

I can only speak authoritatively about Illinois, because that’s where I live and where I’ve trained in humane care of animals in order for Humane Investigator licensing. Illinois is among the top 5 in animal welfare rankings, so maybe I’m overstepping saying a lot of other states have comparable laws relevant to this thread (wishful thinking on my part), but they’re there. Here’s a site that ranks states in order of decent welfare laws, as of 2014: http://aldf.org/staterankings/
The complete Illinois Humane Care for Animals Act is here:
There’s a website that pulled the relevant passages here: Illinois Humane - Animal Law , and I’ve pasted the one relevant to this thread below.
And to address the first sentence, what methods of euthanasia are approved, also from the Humane Care for Animals Act:
Thank you. This is still ‘up in the air’ and I haven’t been on this site since I found it a few weeks back…but thank you for being civil and giving me a straight answer.
