Thank god the animals are safe.

The title made me think the pet was a dog from hell or something, and the dude saved some feral animals. But in all seriousness it's quite courageous of someone to do this, good on him.

However, despite the clearly brave actions of Officer Burgos, a senior member of the local council has reportedly taken to social media to criticize the officer's actions. The councilman wrote the following post on Facebook in the days after news of Officer Burgos' rescue was reported:

"A police officer who decides to enter a hazardous situation without proper training, without proper equipment, where no human life is at risk, isn't a hero, he's a fool... He deliberately placed himself in a dangerous scenario, unnecessarily placed his well-being at risk, and is NOT deserving of "hero" status, but rather, disciplinary action."

What the hell is wrong with this council member? He apparently would rather that officers be cowards and not save animals in a burning building from dying.
This cop is a real brave guy, to go in there and risk his life to save the animals. He is a hero.

animals are property. he technically was a fool for risking a human life for fire damage of property.

how do u technically be a fool

I kind of agree though, a police officer is a lot more valuable and important than a few animals. he could've at least waited on the fire department?
