“You think it doesn’t matter when your animal kills your neighbor’s chickens?”
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.
I believe the dog also attacked people. Farm people view animals differently. This is just a fact.
In many states it would be illegal to shoot your own dog.
