Don't get me wrong, because I too love dogs, but I have also had to shoot several on duty. This is not a stereotype or ragging on a certain breed, but all the dogs I've shot have been pit bulls. This is usually due to to the fact that the owners are often irresponsible jerks who teach the dogs to fight and be mean.
Some seek to own pit bulls so they can be "fighting dogs" and their owners are proud to tell you about it. These are people who should not own pets, as they are clearly too immature to care for them properly. The other responsibility with a poweful dog is to make sure that it is under control and/or contained. Letting them run/get loose is opening up a huge liability for the owner.

Under those circumstances he did have a right to shoot the dogs,and had no obligation to wait until a chicken was killed first. One of the dogs was in with the chickens and when it ran out, charged at him.Bear 45/70 wrote:............Yeah he should have shot the________ owner. Who didn't bother to take proper care of his animals. Just like you should smack the parents of unruly children rather than the child. Oh yeah and killing some one else animals is harmless? Like I said he should be shot for felony stupid.
Parents are responsible for the actions of their children, both legally and morally, and owners are responsible for the actions of their animals, both legally and morally, BUT you do not advocate the taking of a human life over the actions of an animal, unless that animal was trained and used as a weapon of murder......lest you become the animal.
The man had every right and duty to dispatch the animals and the owner of the dogs should pay for any and all damages to the fence, chicken coop and chickens.
I dearly love dogs, but any doge of mine that shows any aggressive behavior is toast. Some animals should never be kept as pets.
