You wind up reading in the paper how the owners say it was the gentlest animal, never any incidents before. When the neighbors all know differently! Make sure they document! Unfortunately, there is a good chance the dogs will get into trouble again. Shame on their owners!
I. too, would not hesitate to shoot to protect my kids or my animals from a vicious attacker. Just as my DH shot a rattle snake poised to strike, I would do the same for a pitt that was attacking any of my "family" human or otherwise. |
Some owners say that because when the dogs are at home they behave like angels, when let out on their own they are CRAZY. So the owners don't see that side of their dog unless it's caught on film or video. Then they still don't believe it and say their dog had to have been provoked. As far a rattle snakes go my hubby shot many the 10 years we lived on acerage in the AZ desert. We had crazy cats that would surround the snake when it was close to the house, like on the back patio a few times. Our young son walked out the back door to find that once.
