On behalf of all LEO's, I apologize for the comment.
Incidentally, shooting policies in LEO agencies vary on the ability to compassionately kill a sick or injured animal. Again, that's normally the job of Animal Control.

No need for apologies. My main intent of this thread was to ensure that I wasn't wasting an officer's time. Common sense told me that I wasn't, the responses here let me know that I definitely did the right thing.
I've always been appreciative of law enforcement and other first responders. I'm not going to let one bad experience change that. Guy was probably having a shitty day, maybe he was a mustang lover!
