All I can say is WOW!
Man, I am not sure my husband or I would have had the restraint to NOT shoot. Granted, we don't have folks who can watch our farm, so we never both go on vacation at the same time. but I would be heartbroken to come up to my girls missing. Even more upset to know that they suffered and died because of some idiots.
But to be woken up to thieves on my property, trying to take my animals? I would be hard pressed to not touch that trigger. Granted, we only have 22s on our farm, but it'd still hurt! Such incredible GALL!
I, too, have good neighbors who would come to my aid in the middle of the night. They have much more calm heads than me. But when my animals are in danger - you better watch out if you are the cause of it.
I am so glad they got caught, and that you found some of your animals again. Sounds like a whole operation and that you weren't the only victim. Hopefully catching those three idiots was the beginning of the end for the whole deal.
