[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3921072, member: 41653"] I recommended killing the dog. When one owns livestock, one is responsible for that livestock. The livestock, or pets, either one, depends on it's owner for everything. The feeding, sheltering, taking care of medical issues, and yes - the safety of said livestock is the owner's responsibility. The owner is morally responsible to keep the livestock safe. That includes defending it against perils. If one is aware of a danger and doesn't take measures, that owner is irresponsible. That owner is not fulfilling his/her moral obligations to the animal. Note well, I said to kill that danger (the dog that has already attacked once) if it shows up again. I did not say to hunt it down. I have been in this situation. I took care of it. 2 dogs were killed during the 3rd attack. It will not get to the second attack next time. [/QUOTE]
