Basically this:

If dog is attacking/killing live stock or attacking people, you can take action to protect your self and property/other people.

Killing a dog and bragging about it on facebook? needs to be reported to his local law enforcement agency. Its a sign of a unstable person.

Maybe his "bragging" was a fair warning to others in the area. Maybe those who will not contain and be responsible for their dangerous animals should be reported and considered unstable.

You're assuming the dog was a "dangerous animal." Or are you one of those who has a prejudice against certain breeds?

What about the legalities of a dog coming on your property and attacking your animals?

Yes I think it's pretty clear that a pit, rott, shepherd, husky, or other large breeds are potentially more dangerous than beagles, poodles, terriers, and other small breeds. And let's admit what we've seen with many(not all) pit owners.

One of those? So why don't they use Cocker Spaniels for guard dogs, again?

Guy in the OP bragging is an ahole, but as far as I've heard where I live here in the county - was well within his rights. Rogers County Deputy told one of my neighbors once that if the dog is on your property,you can shoot it. But he told him "you'd better kill it, because if it makes it back to it's own yard, you're in big trouble". He was talking specifically about some Rotts his neighbor across the road had that were coming up near his house, and he had two small children.

I had issues with neighbor's dogs digging up the yard looking for gophers and waking me up in the middle of the night barkin at another neighbor's horse from my yard. I spoke with two different agencies and both said there wasn't anything they could do in the county for me since they weren't strays. Both told me I was within my rights to shoot them if I wanted though. I didn't want to be that guy. Now, 6 months later, one problem neighbor has his fenced in, one moved away, and the other still lets his dogs roam wherever. They've worn a path down to dirt in the yard from coming over so often to defecate in the yard and chase gophers in the neighboring pasture. They leave when I tell them to go home but they wait for me to leave and come back. I can sit at the stop sign at the end of the road and watch them come back across the street. I still don't think its right to shoot them for having a jackass owner.

I would never shoot a dog just for coming on my property! Thats chicken ****. Now if it's being aggressive then thats another story. This guy should have his a$$ kicked if you ask me. What kinda douche braggs about shooting a dog? Oh wow he is so tough. What a punk
