Gives a whole new meaning to “shooting the bull.”
100% of the vet bills this horse owner will have coming should be paid for by the dog owner.
Should have shot the dogs owners also.
Good for him. Great to have a weapon that stops senseless maulings that can’t be stopped any other way.
Good for him.
Oh, I see
In most western states, a landowner can shoot dogs that harass, attack or chase livestock at will, with no criminal or civil penalties.
Here’s the revised Washington Code, RCW 16.08.020:
“It shall be lawful for any person who shall see any dog or dogs chasing, biting, injuring or killing any sheep, swine or other domestic animal, including poultry, belonging to such person, on any real property owned or leased by, or under the control of, such person, or on any public highway, to kill such dog or dogs, and it shall be the duty of the owner or keeper of any dog or dogs so found chasing, biting or injuring any domestic animal, including poultry, upon being notified of that fact by the owner of such domestic animals or poultry, to thereafter keep such dog or dogs in leash or confined upon the premises of the owner or keeper thereof, and in case any such owner or keeper of a dog or dogs shall fail or neglect to comply with the provisions of this section, it shall be lawful for the owner of such domestic animals or poultry to kill such dog or dogs found running at large. “
Ping.
OK, it appears that I’ve been wrong on these pitbull threads. I thought the only reason to have them is to protect a meth lab or a drug house. It appears that they are also useful for grow operations.
The pit bull mod must be off today.
chime in pitbull defenders.
I freaking HATE this bread of animal and wish they were exterminated.
Works for me!
That said, six years ago I shot two wolf hybrids after warning the owner twice that he had better keep them away from my horses. His reply both times was "you better not shoot my dogs." I had animal control at the house when I called him to come pick up the two carcases. I haven't heard a peep from him since.

“The man fired several warning shots to try and scare the dogs and when the warning shots did not work, the man turned his aim to the dogs, shooting all three. “
It’s unfortunate that he fired the warning shots. His horse might not have been so significantly injured if he had just shot the dogs instead of screwing around.
