You think it doesn’t matter when your animal kills your neighbor’s chickens?
Not too many dogs can take down a cow.
“Not too many dogs can take down a cow”
Rural drop offs in Tennessee are quite common. The dogs end up at dumpster sites, where they get together with other drops, an alpha... form a little pack three or more and they’ll take out a calf no problemo, goats, sheep. Pigs? Sure. My sister deals with this, and now coyote’s are also an issue.
The hubster went night vision a few years back. I sent my nephews over to show him the ropes on that technology. It’s worked out better than farmhand plinking with the lever action.
I know that once the dog tastes blood, something needs to be done about the dog. I also know that you don't mess with an untrained dog when food or prey is involved.

It matters. Pay for the damage, secure the chickens better and, by the way, dogs can be trained not to kill too. I guess that is too hard and inconvenient so just blow the dog’s brains out.
Who cares about some worthless chickens? Anyone who,would shoot a dog for killing chickens is a psycho. If you can’t handle a dog, rehome it. Animal abusers are subhumans.
I’m still grieving for my precious Blue Heeler who I was forced to euthanize on April 1. He was struck by my neighbor’s father in law’s SUV and suffered grievous injuries. I’ve always had a good relationship with the aforementioned neighbors, but I feel some resentment because the father in law hasn’t called to apologize, and the neighbors didn’t seem too concerned.
My point is that, to many people, dogs are family. One can always replace chickens. Noem could have found a new home for the dog or taken it to a shelter. Instead, she chose the most cruel option.
Noem is an idiot.
