Police said Tasers are only ever used as a “last resort” when an animal is posing a risk to officers, the public or other animals.

SAFE’s Head of Investigations Will Appelbe said there was only one sentence in the 29-page policy document detailing processes for animals.

Minister for Biosecurity and Food Safety Andrew Hoggard says test results will come from other sheds on the premises — and at other properties trucks and equipment had visited.

The Police Association – an independent group that represents officers – also refused to be interviewed, but sent an email pointing out that dogs had killed two people in New Zealand recently.

While the FAA has previously said it was seeking to complete the rule as swiftly as possible, Whitaker’s comments are the most specific yet about timing.

In 2012, Congress passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act (“FMRA”) with the purpose to direct the FAA to develop Rules that apply specifically to drones.  The FAA is using FMRA as a mechanism to to allow companies to perform “commercial” drone services by issuing a Section 333 grant of exemption while permanent rules are being drafted and reviewed. The first waivers were granted in September 2014 to four film-making companies.

She has continued to call for change in the years since, arguing that dogs should receive the same level of treatment given to humans who have been Tasered, including urgent access to medical care.

“We are always willing to consider our approach and take advice from qualified professionals around our policies in general,” a spokesperson said.

The surrounding detail is recorded for most cases, with one describing how an animal was stopping police from intervening on an assault. Others described how dogs were attacking other dogs, or growling at police.

Meanwhile, the Alaska Certificate of Waiver or Authorization was followed by 990 FAA exemptions by July 2015 with more than 60 granted to Texas companies and individuals.

Police have used Tasers on dogs well over a hundred times over the last decade, and then left the animals without veterinary care despite calls from animal welfare groups for a change in policy.

The police have already made changes to it once, back in 2017, following an incident a year earlier where a police officer shot a Taser at a goat 13 times.

"The rule will be in place within the year," FAA Deputy Administrator Michael Whitaker said at the House Oversight Committee hearing, "hopefully before June 17, 2016."

“We’re not afraid to use that word anymore,” said Kathleen Swain, chief pilot for the drone program of United Services Automobile Association, a provider of insurance for military families. “Everybody knows a drone is a drone.”

“It's not clear to be me that police, or frontline police, have been given that sort of training in the same way they've been given training for how to handle human beings that are violent.”

In fact, when USAA received positive news from the Federal Aviation Administration in April 2015 about using unmanned aircraft for damage inspections, the company announced on its website, ‘FAA Approves Drone Petition.’

The surrounding detail is recorded for most cases, with one describing how an animal was stopping police from intervening on an assault. Others described how dogs were attacking other dogs, or growling at police.

However, the SPCA and SAFE - another animal rights group - both argue that there are other ways to de-escalate situations involving dogs, and say frontline officers may not have the proper training for this.

First drone camera in the world

Few critics begrudge the police’s reasoning for using a Taser when an animal is attacking, with most seeing it as an unfortunate necessity in some situations.

1News approached police for comment but they declined to be interviewed for this story, and sent a statement by email instead.

Footage obtained by 1News shows officers firing probes into dogs, sending electric shocks through their bodies and leaving them convulsing in pain.

In the 1970s and 1980s a variety of new technologies emerged, including the Global Positioning System, long-range data links, lightweight computer equipment and composite materials, as well as satellite communications and digital flight controls, that spawned a new generation of drones.

During World War I the Ruston Proctor Aerial Target of 1916 was the first pilotless aircraft built using A. M. Low’s radio control techniques.

With the friendly skies being infiltrated with toy drone enthusiasts, news drones, industrial spies, and larger flying objects, it became necessary for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to regulate the new technology aloft.

The first instance of a certificate of authorization was on May 18, 2006, when the FAA gave permission for a drone to be used within U.S. civilian airspace to search for survivors of disasters after requests in 2005 failed to be approved and no drones were used following Hurricane Katrina.

“We have offered the Ministry of Justice expert support in lots of different ways, including sitting on the Taser review panel when there are animal cases,” she added.

Data provided to 1News under the Official Information Act shows police used a Taser on an animal on average of 13 times a year across the 11-year period 2013-23. Incidents continued at a similar rate in the most recent years.

“Tactical options, including Taser, support frontline police to prevent harm by enabling them to intervene effectively,” the statement from Superintendent Dave Grieg said.

At the heart of the debate is the police’s official Taser policy, which guides officers on what they can and can’t do with the electric shock device.

“Tasers are designed for adult humans, and clearly able to subdue adult humans, so the dogs are much smaller usually, and weigh much less, and so actually require urgent veterinary attention,” Dale added.

The goat had to be euthanised and several investigations followed, with the local superintendent eventually accepting it “could have been handled differently”.

In their statement, police confirmed they have no specific guidance on the subject, but said they were open to the discussion.

The next five years are going to be big for drones in the commercial sector. A few projections include enhanced usage in agriculture, oil rigs and wind farms, mining, and bridges.

In 1782, the Montgolfier brothers in France were the first to experiment with balloons using unmanned aerostats before going up themselves. UAVs were then used as a tactic of war starting on August 22, 1849, when the Austrians attacked the Italian city of Venice with unmanned balloons loaded with explosives.

Talon/LPE submitted our request for our Section 333 grant of exemption in July 2015.  We are hopeful the exemption will be granted by early October 2015, or sooner.

“Incidents involving attacking animals are usually incredibly fast-paced and require split-second decisions, meaning most alternate methods for bringing animals under control are impracticable,” it said.

The animal was on the loose and had evaded animal control, nearly causing a crash on the road, and leaving a police officer scrambling to capture it. He eventually cornered the animal and shocked it repeatedly.

While they accept that Tasers use may be justified in some scenarios, both groups felt the current Taser policy was inadequate when it came to animals.

At the heart of the debate is the police’s official Taser policy, which guides officers on what they can and can’t do with the electric shock device.

By July 2015, the issuance of permits was about 250 a month while the FAA reviews over 4,500 public comments on the proposed rules.

This was not just great for weekend radio-control flyers, but useful in industries as diverse as aerial photos for media, environment management, security surveillance, and agriculture.

“There is detail in that policy document about where on a human body a Taser should be used. There is none of that of detail in regards to how a Taser should be used on an animal. That raises a number of red flags,” he said.

Minister for Biosecurity and Food Safety Andrew Hoggard says test results will come from other sheds on the premises — and at other properties trucks and equipment had visited.

The future of unmanned aerial vehicles in industry is assured. It’s time to think about how using a drone can help your business.

In June 2015, the FAA stated that it intends to issue final regulations for operating small commercial drones by the middle of 2016, according to a top administrator.

While the use of Tasers was understandable in urgent situations, where all other options have been exhausted, aftercare was “critically important”, she said. In some cases, the dogs may be left with probes still in their bodies.

Dale has now been lobbying for change for six years, saying Tasers can have significant short and long-term physical and mental impacts on the pets.

By 2017-2018, expect drones to be widely used for situational awareness, operations management, modeling/mapping and more environmental monitoring.

Do you know the date the first commercial drone was launched? If you said unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) were first used in the 1970s-1980s, you were off by about 200 years.

Before getting into more modern history on a light note, in May 2015 the Drone-Industry Show accepted the use of the word “drone” in place of “unmanned aerial vehicles”. Company representatives and government employees shunned the term because they thought that the word didn’t convey the vehicles’ sophistication.

In fact from April to July 2015, a number of exemptions soared 90%. In June alone, the FAA granted authorizations for commercial unmanned aircraft system in 42 states and Puerto Rico – a total of 714 in one month.
