Well you could get jail time,for shooting bird of prey. They maybe watching you after that post.

Check you state law, we have the right under the law to shoot any dog attacking our animals.

Cruel to kill a dog, but ok to let it kill other animals. You ever watch a dog kill anything thats cruel.

Save a animal from being torn apart piece by piece is not cruel, killing a dog to save many other animal.

Hitting them in the wallet may help Jody but it won't change the people.

I have ppl like that in my neighborhood.........you all probably do to.

They never REALLY get it. They'll replace their transcient dogs with NEW transcient dogs. Especially if they have money.

But, if we call animal control enough(these dogs have a history..and the local authorities have responded very positively to her call..)...the dogs will be taken away..hopefully re-homed..if not re-homed, then humanely put down..not shot..*shivers*...AND i am assuming if you get your dogs taken away..you cant just go out and get more...they would ban you from owning dogs..for a while at least....

After 9 years with chooks, I just shoot it, if it's on my property. Domestic pedator or otherwise. My run is secure, but if its anywhere near my birds, it's lifespan is brief.

I've made a dramatic impact on how neighbours allow their pets to roam. They know what will happen to their beloved pet if it strays onto my property. As for the wild predators. I guess I keep the numbers in check while providing the turkey vultures a regular menu.

Call it cruel if you want, but nature can be that way as well. I didn't get into the poultry fancy so that I could provide predators with a free lunch.

I keep my birds safe by providing a secure environment & use the shotgun for eliminating ALL potential threats.

In my area there is no animal control. If there was, I would surely call them. Many rural area's don't have this wonderful option.

Usually, just stepping outside and aiming a gun and shooting past them will scare them away ( for awhile, anyway ).

I don't own a rifle. DH does but I don't really know how to use it. I have a 380 though that makes alot of noise. I used it in WI for early morning walking........just carried it on me for safety. It has a new purpose here though.

I also have a DAISY. LOL
