First, I wanna say to the person that said you can't "get a pit off when he's attacking"... that you're wrong. Because I have broken a dog fight involving a pit bull WITHOUT using a weapon... and he didn't bite me. In fact, my dog (not my pit bull) was more dangerous than he was... that comment, to me, just perpetuates the stereotypes about the breed that I hate to hear and makes them sound like they're bloodlust... sad, really...
I could never shoot any animal, honestly. Though, I would shoot AT them if I had livestock and they were attacking my livestock. Usually, the sound of the gun itself scares a dog away. That being said, I believe that you CAN legally shoot a dog for attacking your livestock. Last I heard, anyway.
I'm sorry about what happened to your horses. <3 Poor things must've been scared to death. |
