Gosh, you can shoot your own animal for whatever reason in my county. I found that out when our horse was dying and there was noone on a Sunday that could put him down. I called animal control, they never returned my call until Monday AFTER the vet had been out to put him down. My poor horse had to suffer a whole night freezing in the winter dying on the ground when we could have put him out of his misery. Not that I could have done it, but I was sick all night long because he was suffering so badly. Anyway, AC called me Monday and said you don't even need a good reason to shoot your animals. Your animals, your choice, which I believe should be true for most things like breeding and such, but this just seemed off.
I just would have shot the dumb dogs and told the cops you had no idea. If there is a person threatening you on your property you can shoot them, why not a DOG? |
I am so sorry for your situation with your dying horse. I have all nighters with horse friends who were leaving this world. It is such a sad sad thing - horses die BIG if that makes any sense.
The difference is dogs are considered domestic animals and horses are livestock.
