I just read another post on here about a neighbors dog killing her chicken and although I originally just ignored this news article I changed my mind and wanted to post it here. The article itself is what it is, it's the comments to the article that SHOCK me...... It shocks me because this is rural Maine, I would think people would be more understanding. I love dogs very very much. I have 2 and they are my kids but this guy that shot this dog had every right and had to do it to protect his animals. I have a couple dogs in my neighborhood that come into my yard and so far have left my chickens alone. I hope to God I never have to shoot them. I don't want to kill some poor childs loved pet but what am I suppose to do if the owners can't do what is right? Should I have to pay the price? Of course not......
Anyway, I am posting this here in hopes that although the article is a little dated that people from here will leave comments and support the mans actions for protecting his flock. I don't know this guy from a hole in the wall but I do know the area. For all I know this guy may in fact be a jerk but I digress......
