Jack Russell Terrier vs. Coon - Fight Photos & Dead Predator

[Beekissed]

All these threads about dogs killing chickens and people killing dogs that kill chickens, and people complain about a thread about a dog doing something positive. That seems just plain weird and completely out of kilter to me.

Can't imagine how this thread still lives....the good ones always get closed it seems. And it's usually for things just like this.....

I think the point the above post is trying to make is this:

If it makes you "sick" and the OP was courteous enough to post a warning....why, oh, why in the world would you then voluntarily make yourself "sick" by opening the thread, gawking at the pics and offer an opinion on how you were then, consequently, sickened by the thread?

It is completely off kilter when someone does something to themselves and then blames others when it results negatively....no one was twisting your arm to view this thread.

These kinds of threads are great. They show a LGD doing his job. They show NATURE in action...this is how it's done, folks, in the real world and there isn't a thing wrong with a dog protecting his area. How often do people get to see the raw side of owning chickens? Us people in the country get to see it quite often and it is informative and educational. It can prepare you for protecting your chickens and gives one a realistic idea of all the things that come with livestock ownership.

Owning chickens isn't all about fluffybutts and diapers on cute little chickens....sometimes it involves blood and death and everyone needs to know it. If you don't prepare yourself for it, then you see threads with big exclamation marks and boo hoos about how all my chickens are dead and I don't know what got them!

Reality isn't always pretty. This is reality. If you don't want to relate to, educate yourself for and prepare for the reality of owning and caring for chickens.....don't open the thread. It's real simple.

As for putting chicken owners in a bad light? Since when was it a bad thing for a person to protect their livestock? Again...reality sets in. No one is going to come down on chicken owners if a terrier kills a coon. When last I looked, coons were not a protected species. I can't imagine that they will become so.

I applaud the OP and her feisty little dog!

Good job Little Dog!!! Protector of your home.

That's what my dogs are told to do. Protect my house, protect me, protect the chickens, calves, horses. the coon was prepred to kill, the person breaking into your home will be prepared to kill, the coyote bring down a calf is to kill. My dogs' job is to alert and protect. If by chance, they can't kill, I am prepared to finish the job.
i will stop now before I go off on a rant.
give that pooch an extra pet on the head from me with "atta boy"!

" As for putting chicken owners in a bad light? Since when was it a bad thing for a person to protect their livestock? " When they brag about it on an open forum. (statement not a judgement) When they talk about putting antifreeze out for the predators to drink, when they talk about soaking sponges in grease, when they talk about SSS. I know I went to public schools, but none of that is postive and all of that is repeatedly talked about in an open forum her on BYC. The mods do work at cleaning things up but stuff stays, stuff gets missed stuff gets looked at and left. I don't care if you turn the stream on your property bright green with antifreeze to solve your problems, but when you talk about it on an open forum with little thought for who might see it that doesn't own chickens, what you do will ultimately affect me for the worse. It's a personal decision how to handle your predator problems that some may not approve of, some may not understand and some of which may anger and horrify folks and that's just the chicken owners. How do you think the public as a whole will feel about the chicken owner who poisened his neighbors dogs and tried to cover it up by burying them (that's how it will be portrayed)? WHo will they relate to? How many of them will understand shooting a neighbors dog and burying it with little regard for the owner who may be forever wondering about his/her buddy. It won't matter to people that those folks probably shouldn't own a dog in the first place - not one bit. It will come back to bite us one day..... and antifreeze and shovel will be of no use then. I almost want to make a deal with folks- I send you a free shovel and box of bullets if you just promise to remember what the third S stands for and never mention it on BYC. Keystonepaul

It would have been considerate to have left the words "Fight Photos" out of the subject line. Many folks (myself included) could be troubled by the post title alone, which you can't avoid seeing. Lots of conclusions could be drawn from that alone, along with thinking the poster is an unsavory individual.

It was highly inappropriate.

in the rules, first post in this forum they actually spell out that many of what goes on here can seem distasteful to some. You will see this material in this thread from time to time. If it is inappropriate for you to even read the title, maybe you shouldn't be in the predator and pest forum passing judgement.

And I like the King James Version best....


1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mk. 4.24
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
