Update: Arfee Owner Seeks $350K

The loss and pain from the unjustified police shooting of Arfee in Coeur d’Alene last July is worth $350,000, the dog’s owner says in a claim filed with the city Tuesday. Craig Jones and his attorney will give the city 90 days to settle or they’ll file a federal lawsuit alleging, in part, illegal police seizure of the 2-year-old Labrador, which died from a gunshot wound to the chest inside its owner’s van in July. “I do think it’s a very reasonable offer given the history of other cases around the country, given the epidemic of police killing people’s companion dogs, and the failure of police departments to take this as seriously as they should and to rectify it,” said Adam Karp, a Bellingham attorney who specializes in animal law. The City Council will discuss the claim in an upcoming executive session, City Attorney Mike Gridley said/ Scott Maben , SR. More here.

Question: How much do you think Craig Jones should get from city of Coeur d’Alene in way of a settlement?
