I’ve got a friend whose 7 pound dog was shot in her front yard. She had just let the 8 year old dog out to do its business, heard the shot and ran out to find the dead pet. They never found the expletives deleted who did this.
However, a pack of loose dogs is a disaster waiting to happen. If the dog was shot harassing livestock, it could have run back home after it was shot and then collapsed. Nobody knows in this case, but given the publicity I doubt the farmer would be interested in speaking up now.
Yep, this case could go either way. We’ll see if there are any updates.
