There are a lot of ways to handle this problem other than " I'll just shoot him and not tell". You can call me anything you want. The guy that shot my dog a few years ago went to jail. If he would have come out of his house, jail is not where he would have went. It take a pretty sick person to just shoot someone's pet. Some people wonder why they want to take your guns away. Maybe some people don't need guns. Don
MAYBE SOME PEOPLE DONT NEED PETS, You missed the point DON, Keep your much loved pet in your yard!!!! Get it! The man that shot your dog was probably tired of dealing with you and your dog and did something about it. His mistake was letting you know! But I assure you your pet would be safe today if you took the care needed to keep it in your yard on your premises. Your the negligent one !
Plus one Oldshooter. Somebody shot my poor ole pet dog, that I was letting run the neighborhood at will. How dare someone get tired of ole Spot, peein and poopin, in their yard, and scatterin their trash.
I chain link fenced a half acre to make sure my dog left the neighbors alone, and if I got one that barked too much. GOODBYE!
Be a good neighbor doninva, and keep you pet up and no one will shoot it. As far as that neighbor not comin outside he may not have wanted to have to beat your butt into the ground. It's always better to brag AFTER THE FIGHT. Your lucky he didn't shoot you too.
Like Oldshooter said. Keep your dog up, and there would never have been a problem.
