The videos were posted on Facebook and immediately the conduct of the CANU ranks came under question. Persons noted that the rank who attempted to hit the person recording the incident could have done serious harm if the gun fired off accidentally. In addition, persons noted the gunshot fired at the dog and its implications for animal rights measures which could have been taken.
The lawmen entered the business premises and carried out a search of the property. It is unclear if the businessman was arrested for any wrongdoing.
