Beagle Shot while hunting

[HuntressOfLight]

I was simply replying towards all of the answers that said killing dogs is never the appropriate response. I didn’t realize it would get everyone’s heart strings involved. I hate it for the boy losing his dog, and I’m not sure the law is going to be on his side simply due to location of the dog at time of the incident.

I don’t have any skin in the game and it sounds like the woman isn’t the best neighbor to have. None of my responses have been directly involved with this situation which is why I said I didn’t want to derail op’s thread.

I wouldnt sweat it. Your posts are rational. The thread is retarded. It should be entitled, Dog Shot While Trespassing. Go back to sleep.

How would you feel if your dogs chased something onto someone else's property and that person felt threaten an shot one of them? You were yelling for your dogs to come back but one got killed.
How retarded is that?

I would feel pretty guilty, for having failed to better train my dog.

You're trying to explain that to someone who steals other folks dogs and claims pool tables that already had been spoken for.

What about the 5 dogs that are roaming all over my mom and dads farm as well as their neighbors? They’re always in a pack and are on several videos chasing deer and I witnessed it myself. All are freshly bathed and have on collars but no one will claim them. The local shelter doesn’t want them, and the county has a law that the dog owner is responsible for any and all harm done by them.

It amazes me the responses by people over dog chasing deer are sss, yet when it’s their dog roaming around “on a track”, usually coon hunters the feelings are different. I don’t have a bloodlust for killing dogs.. but if my neighbor shot mine because I didn’t keep him up I couldn’t be mad at him. Some people have an irrational fear of dogs. My neighbors scared of my chickens. If he shot one on his property I would apologize to him and go on.

I'll say it again, a beagle chasing a rabbit under a fence and a roaming pack of dogs constantly trying to kill deer on other's properties, two different conversations. Can't even call it comparing apples to bananas.

BTW, the two tweakers' dogs cost me roughly $300.00 at the vet... they each had whipworms. They depart today and the ground will be treated, but unfortunately they ran loose a bit and likely doodoo-ed up the entire place, putting all critters at risk for years, contracting the same. They aren't moving far, either...

Whipworm Infections in Dogs | VCA Animal Hospital

Whipworms are intestinal parasites that are about 1/4 inch (6 mm) long. They live in the intestinal tract of dogs where they cause severe irritation. Whipworm infection results in watery, bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and general debilitation. Any dog with chronic large bowel diarrhea should be...

I agree 100% and am not arguing the fact in any way. I was just merely responding to the comments about never shooting a dog being the appropriate response. As I’ve repeated many times it’s a bad situation.

All I was trying to get across is making blanket statements as absolutes is a dangerous endeavor. There is a time for everything, I’m not sure this was the time. I’ll say it again I don’t know the back story. I have no reason to doubt the OP and I don’t in any way.

Killing a dog is never the appropriate first response to any situation other than immediate harm to your person or family. Anyone who says different is a straight ass. I would fight anyone over my mutts plain and simple and value you their life just as much as some people. If you don’t like dogs that’s fine. I’ve put my neighbors dogs up and they’ve put mine up. No excuse for what went down plain and simple. Just like your story about the chickens, a man who would shoot another man’s chicken because he has an irrational fear of them is no man at all, and doesn’t deserve to be called such.

Personally I wish that we had much stricter laws surrounding animal abuse and things of this nature. No one cares to do this shit in Kentucky because it’s a slap on the wrist because we have next to no laws about it. Half the stuff we get away with here is jail time in other states. If you starve a dog and beat it to death you deserve jail time plain and simple.

So any charges brought or any other details?

He was supposed to go talk to the county attorney today. Haven’t heard if he made it up there or not yet.

Many years ago my beagles ran a rabbit around a farmhouse and when they looped around the other side, one of them (still running the rabbit) was carrying a chicken. I yelled at her and she dropped it and it ran off. I got them out of there!

Years ago, nobody cared where you hunted, or where the dogs ran. But times have changed. I never turn my pack out where they might cause problems, or near road traffic, etc. In summertime, when I am out at daybreak, I try to be respectful of those who might be within earshot of the hounds running.

If those young folks had been told to keep their hounds off the property and allowed it to happen again, they are partially responsible, in my opinion, however, it could certainly have been handled in a better way by the landowners. Just call the law and let them deal with it!

I hate dogs that are allowed to run loose. They get into a lot of mischief. Good neighbors keep dogs under control.

Agree

Why anyone doesn’t have it on ignore is beyond me.
