I shot a pit bull that was attacking its owner, but never had to face this. I wouldn't have hesitated, of course, but would have dreaded the headlines.
We live on a LIBERAL island (Whidbey).
Recently, a resident shot a neighbor's dog as it was trespassing on his property and killing his chickens for the umpteenth time. The owner wouldn't do anything before this.
The local paper crucified him for the "barbaric act", and his business went down the tubes as a result.
What liberal crap.
