[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 669846, member: 9219"] Calman, I did not intend to attack anyone personally, nor was I threatening anyone individually - I was merely pointing out the lengths that I would go to protect/avenge my dog. I love and treat my dogs as family...when it comes down to it, to me they are a part of my family. I also treat my cattle as well as I know how to. If some animal were threatening or attacking them, I would take care of the situation, even if that meant having to shoot it. I simply hoped that people would have more common sense than to shoot a dog just for being on their property. You cannot paint every animal with a broad brush. Many dogs will chase a cow/calf many others wont. All it takes is common sense and a few seconds of observation to determine what type of dog you have on your property. Any good neighbor who was bothered by another neighbors dogs would attempt to talk to that neighbor before shooting...its common sense, its the right thing to do, and its the neighborly thing to do. People who shoot everything because it COULD do something harmful to their cattle lack common sense. That was my point. Every situation is different, and every situation should be treated with common sense. And, FWIW, legally speaking, the dog is a trespasser...the owner of the dog is responsible for the cost of any damage...consequently if you shoot the dog, even though it is trespassing you would be responsible for the cost of the dog (less of course any damage it had caused) A dog is viewed as property, and it is still illegal to destroy someone else property without permission. Criminally speaking you are in no trouble, as you are well within your rights...civilly however you have destroyed property of another without permission and are liable for the damages. [/QUOTE]
