My uncle owned a chicken ranch near Merced and had to shoot his dog cause it was killing chickens. My older brother never forgave him but I knew then that once a dog starts killing it’s time to put them down easy. Hey,it’s a business.
When I was a kid my parents warned me to never feed our dogs chicken. When I asked why they told me that they would choke on chicken bones.
I now suspect that it had a lot more to do with our neighbor owning several chickens.
Once a dog gets a taste for chicken those feathered creatures become endangered.
