I think we're thinking of different types of dogs. I'm thinking feral. Not my neighbours dog (more than once anyway. Second time is free game) or someone's pet puppy or some shaggy reject that just wants a meal... I'm talking... you shoot feral animals. Animals with no sense of training and no ability to continue to be trained. Or, in the case of the neighbours dog, if they continue to refuse to train it. (but even then I'd call the council on them first)

Welcome to the bare basics of farming. Even if it is only a backyard chicken coop. With life there is death.
I have a backyard coop in the INNER CITY and had to put down 3 predators in first 4 months.

Its the cost of doing business with chickens.

I believe you mean 'deer'.
I hunt deer also. It's my main source of winter protein. It does not mean I feel justified in 'spilling' anything's guts, especially if I have no intention of eating it.
You DO sound like you enjoyed killing an innocent animal a bit too much.

Seriously?? Why is it that a cat or dog is always innocent????

yes, I meant deer. Apparently ipod doesn't know how to spell deer. Innocent is not my word for it. I was tired of chasing this cat around for the longest time and was happy to be rid of it. And if you actually payed attention to my original post, my dad shot it, not me

We have a lot of stray monsters over here, and I have no pity for them. I Don't kill them until they have threatened or murdered my livestock. And No, I have no intention of eating a stray cat

Thanks Catstar......sometimes there are people that are kind of barbaric, I have chickens, I have dogs and I have cats and Im happy to report I have never shot an animal and have no intentions of doing so, I am an animal lover all the way....there is a right way and a wrong way to handle things. I have lost chickens to predators and it breaks my heart, but it would have an even more affect on me to kill an animal that is doing what they know, esp the wild animals that are trying to Live. Last week I caught a opossum and drove it prob 10 miles away and set him free in the woods. I felt great about it and nobody had to have their "guts spilled"....I have to secure my coop and chickens better and hope for the best. I have No problem with hunters and people that do shoot wild animals, but how I grew up we considered dogs and cats to be Domestic animals and yet some of you people can hardly wait for one to wonder in your yard so you can blow it away....Maybe it is someones' pet, did you ever think of that ? It may appear feral because it is afraid of You , but maybe Not !

Why are they always presumed guilty?

that's where the line crosses. There are the people who like the thing killing your animals more than your animals themselves, and then there are the people who actually love their animals enough to protect them from harm at all costs.

Why is it not an innocent possum or boar?
