Ahhh, and there it is. Assuming Wyatt Earp's version of events is the truth (and I'm not buying it), your "burden" justifies killing two animals. Then my "burden" over the loss of my animals and my fear for my life justifies my appropriate reaction when confronting a deadly force situation.

Again, you are deflecting the pet’s owner from taking reasonable care to protect his own pets. If the owner hadn’t been an irresponsible dirtbag, he would have done something about them before it came to this.
Your silliness in attempting to justify that exposes you to questions showing your true ideals.
For example, if you hear your neighbor shooting at something, is it your contention that you are justified in shooting him?
What if he’s a cop that just killed two men trying to break into your house?
What if two dogs (not necessarily YOURS) were attacking?
What if he was lighting off fireworks, and in your zeal to prove how much of an “expert” in shooting you are, you thought they were gunshots?
And one more thing.
You (or one in lockstep with you on this) state that by telling the owner he would shoot the dog if they came on his property again, that he obviously wanted to do it from the start.
There are many laws in the land. They explain the penalties for violating those laws. Does that mean the police are “planning from the start to get you?” (Notwithstanding the stupidity of the last few years)
If you break into my house, and I have a sign posted at my door that I will meet you with force, does that mean that I was planning all along to attack you?
A warning is not the same as a threat.
You have a really strange take on this story, not a single item of which is supported by anything in the linked article.
If a guy is shooting your dogs while those dogs are on his property (after you have been warned that he will shoot them if found on his property again), exactly how are you confronted with a deadly force situation. Clearly you are not.
And I do have to ask why you think it is the neighbor’s responsibility to fill in the hole under the fence when it was the dog owner’s dog who dug it.
