I guess...that's the subjective question.
Everyone has different levels of tolerance for this kind of predatory action. Not to mention our dogs have been domesticated for a reason. So, it'd depend what one wants their dog for and then if there's any safety issues. And if this is something one wouldn't want to interfere with, then it'd have to be accepted that they always hunt and prey on other animals - and we can't later blame them for being 'bad' when/if it happens in a way we don't like.
Hehe...just to play devil's advocate in a light-hearted way (not trying to be rude) they have a lot of natural instincts that I don't like, which I interfere with: peeing/pooping indoors, not coming when called, not listening to me period
