TMZ reports that the owner of the pet, Jesus Llovera, is demanding $25,000 in compensation and a written apology after Seagal burst into his home to hunt down an illegal cockfighting ring in March.
Mr Llovera claims that during the raid deputies from the Maricopa County sheriff's office shot and killed his 11-month-old pet.
Mr Llovera said the raid on his home was unwarranted and that he only raises birds "for show".
Seagal has issued a vehement denial, saying: "I've been called a lot of things in my career, some of them not so kind. But to be labelled an animal abuser is beyond the pale and that is simply a role I will not accept."
Officers also deny killing the dog. "That's a fabrication. That is just a bunch of ****," commented chief deputy David Trombi.
