Re: [RC] [RC] cat shot/horse shot - desertrydr1I had a dog come on to my property and kill chickens. I talked to the guy that owned the dog, and he had no interest in taking any kind of resposibility. He told me, "If you see my dog after your chickens, shoot it." I was pretty upset. A few days later, the dog was after my chickens again, so I captured it and took it home, advertised it for a new home, and even gave it away. It came right back the next night, even though I told the gal that wanted him that he was a chicken killer. Seems he went after her kitten, and also tried to bite her kid. So I took him to animal control. My theory is that there are dogs out there that are so far beyond control that they just can't adapt to polite society. I don't have the time, energy and money to totally retrain him. I contacted all the animal rescues in the area, they were all full of big dogs that at least had somewhat better futures (ie. housebroke,
not chicken killers/cat eaters/child biters)
This dog was about a year old, lab and something, and about 100 lbs. He wasn't housebroken, couldn't be walked on a leash, had been taught NO MANNERS of any kind. Given a choice, I would have gladly shot his original owner for doing so poorly by a dumb animal!
Just so that people don't get the idea I'm cruel or an animal hater, I have rescued my last three dogs from an animal shelter or the street. Just lost one after 13 years. And just yesterday I picked up a stray and found his owner and returned him. I love dogs, all kinds, just realize that some dogs, due to lack of caring and training, don't have a very bright future. jeri

As I said before, my husband did shoot a couple of dogs but *only* because they were violent and we felt they posed a serious threat to our kids. If an animal isn't a threat - no matter how big of a nuisance it might be - I don't think anyone has the right to kill it. We're humans - we're supposed to be able to solve our differences a little more rationally! <Sigh> JMO - Jen Adam _________________________________________________________________ Mortgage rates as low as 4.625% - Refinance $150,000 loan for $579 a month.
