I had to laugh. Teaching them to kill chickens. You realize killing comes pretty darn naturally to dogs. They don't really need to be taught. Only 1 of our dogs is poultry safe. The others would kill every single one of them if given the chance. Besides, different attitudes I suppose. I take my...

We humanely lopped his head off with a hatchet. My husband really just wanted to throw him over the fence and let our 5 dogs tear him to pieces. So really he had a lucky escape from a horrid death!
