Actor Steven Seagal is being sued for a dog death related to the filming of his new television show, Steven Seagal: Lawman.

According to a recent report, actor Steven Seagal is being sued over the death of a dog that occurred in a home raid that was filmed for the actor's newest television show, Steven Seagal: Lawman.

The plaintiff, Jesus Sanchez Llovera, says that his 11-month old puppy was shot and killed during a raid on his Arizona home, in which Seagal and police showed up in a tank and full riot gear to investigate what they thought was an illegal cockfighting ring.

Llovera claims that he bred the roosters that were in his home for "show."

Llovera is suing Seagal and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for $100,000 to compensate for the loss of his dog and the loss of his roosters, which were also killed during the raid.

He also wants Seagal to issue a written apology to his children, explaining why they don't have their 11-month old puppy anymore.
