Two .45 slugs and make the owner watch and pay for the bullets.
The dog owner will not be pleased with the vet bill for the horse.
Agreed.
Let the same rule apply to German Sheppards, Rotties, etc.
I used to own two of the most beautiful, smartest, kindest animals in the dog world - Pitt Bulls.
They killed no babies, to my knowledge.....the only damage caused to any human (common complaint from friends at the house) was their tail wagging. Steel rods, as one friend said.
My two were glad to meet and greet anyone. As long as the alpha male (me) did the introductions.
Once they knew the "top dog" said it was cool, you were in for the Pitt treatmeant - lots of slobber and a good thrashing from the "steel rod" tail.
Those dogs took their que from my, or my wife's, actions.
Get it on, or friend?
When i had to leave, for business, they took over security.
I saw to it that those dogs were "socialized" with other dogs, no problem-as long as those dogs were not on their property.
The dogs are not the problem, the owners are.
