” He claimed it was self-defense, that the dog had come to his yard and wouldn’t stop barking, so he chased the dog to the owner’s home and pulled out his gun, and shot the dog in the head “

This idjit should suffer a similar fate .

Possible prison for shooting an animal? At most, it is a fine for damaging somebody’s property. In this case, the property was harassing the guy, so he took care of the business. A bit excessive in my book, however. So, a fine is good in this case.

Quick, have him become a cop. Make it all well and good!!!

“If his life had been threatened or even minimally in danger, it might have been justified,” (Detective Sgt. Timothy) Woodworth said. “If this was a 100-pound Rottweiler, you might be able to understand it. But this was a 50-55 pound dog. He could have taken any number of other actions.”

Oh, the irony.....

The couple is still shocked by the shooting, though. “He followed my dog with a loaded gun to our private property and shot him,” she said.

Apparently YOUR property was violating Mr. Nelson's private property...I see the dog owners are from 'out of state'. This is getting to be a real problem for old-time NH residents who have their private property rights violated on a daily basis. NY'ers and Massh*les routinely trespass to go berry picking, camping, shoot off fireworks, or whatever without giving any thought to the fact that they might be on someone's property. There is a simmering anger building...

Hey, only cops can kill 55 lbs dogs! Here is a nice selection of the dangerous killers I found around the web.

I have a solution for the guy that would chase a dog back home and try to blow its brains out...

[CodeToad]

Cops kill dogs all the time without punishment, yet, a peasant shoots a dog and the King goes nuts?

Michael Nelson, 36, a resident of Pike's Point Road, has been charged with cruelty to animals, a Class B felony punishable by 3½ to 7 years in jail,...

Meanwhile, where are we at with the San Antonio cop who left two K9 dogs to die in his vehicle?

Stupid arrogant dog owners give all dog owners a bad name. Letting a dog roam the neighborhood because he's your dog and thus special, causes all sorts of bad karma.

I can remember as a kid that I had several dogs on my paper route that would come running out and try to bite me. I corrected the situation by wearing a good set of boots and a squirt gun filled with ammonia. A squirt to the face and a quick kick solved the problem. Most of the dogs would subsequently race towards me, but abruptly stop at their property line. Didn’t have to shoot a single dog or owner.

[VeniVidiVici]

I don’t care what the circumstances. Somebody shoots my dog and instant double-tap. Their relatives can tell me later why my dog was shot.

[Sans-Culotte]

What an ass. If the dog could be chased away, then he was in no danger. I speak as one who has also shot a dog in self defense.
