Yeah, cause killing innocent animals is hilarious.

Because this thread has absolutely nothing to do with service dogs. So brining up the "but fake service dogs!" argument is just silly.

Me too. I would be very disturbed to know that one of my neighbors would do that to a dog, let alone multiple dogs. If they have no problem killing animals, what else might they do the next time they're mad at a neighbor? It's sickening that people think that type of behavior is perfectly acceptable.

"Running loose" and being destructive and a threat.

It was a relatively small, rural community with a few smallish developments on the fringes occupied by foreigners. My understanding from the few local people I knew as acquaintances was that this man had enjoyed his role as harasser and that killing these wild dogs was done by several people.

People there dealt with their community problems themselves, and only called the police for major problems.

Decent people don't commit such acts, and neither do they condone them.

Although decent people can allow others to kill such dogs for them. It’s not about killing dogs but about the procedure. And when the proper procedure is followed those who kill dogs are decent people.

No, decent people do not killing dogs and then string them up in trees as some kind of vigilante justice. That's a disturbed individual, not someone who was following the "proper procedure".

Decent people call animal control and report the owner to the proper authorities. The owner was the problem, the dogs were just being dogs. Unless properly trained a dog does not know that running loose is a problem. Yes, calling animal control might also lead to the dogs deaths, but at least it will be done humanely. There is no reason to torture a dog to death because of a bad owner.

What a false equivalency.

It would definately be disturbing to have a person like that somewhere in the neighborhood, but it is something for pet owners to keep in mind. If pets are annoying the neighbors, you never know what sort of nut case might be somewhere close.

It's not unusual for dogs that bark constantly and donkeys who sing at break of day to be poisoned.

Part of keeping your pet safe is making sure your pet isn't annoying the neighbors.

That "neighbor close by" can cover a lot of territory. I once tracked down a loud, noisy, constantly barking dog and that dog was three miles from my house. I talked to close neighbors and they hated those dogs with a passion. No one hurt those dogs, but be aware that if your dogs are annoying neighbors, they migt be annoying a lot of people and the percentage of nutcases in our society can be rather high.

I don't disagree with this, woodsmoke, and certainly wasn't attempting to make a case for letting dogs roam free. There are a lot of sick individual out there, and many serial killers and other violent criminals abuse and kill animals before going on to humans.

So you agree with me; the proper procedure should be followed for killing dogs.
