We live on 11.26 acres w/creek, of which 2.5 acres are cleared out of the middle. Our driveway winds so you can not see the house from the road. We also have 2 German Shepherd Dogs and 1 genuine rescue mutt puppy. Our back yard is fenced, about an acre. If our dogs are not inside or inside the fence, they are on a leash or inside my truck, they do like going for rides.
^ I'm probably as lazy as the next guy, but I did read what you linked. It doesn't really answer the question, though. Yes, the statute prohibits harming animals. But there are other statutes that allow one to defend themselves if threatened. So despite the statute you linked, one does have a legal right to shoot a dog in certain circumstances.
Two days ago a pit was loose and came into my yard tried attacking my dog. And then ran after me growling and barking i never ran so fast inside. I almost didnt make it. Thank god my daughter whom is two wasnt outside only because i made her put the blanket she was trying to bring outside back in. In my head i keep replaying the what ifs i am getting a hand gun and am fencing in my front yard i own a lab and st bernard and my lab got out a few times so i built a taller fence. I love animals n rescue animals but i will be prepared next time too shoot a pit or aggressive dog. Because by time animal control came idk where the pit went.kids play outside along with my two yr old.

I have chows. I would die for them. If someone harmed my chow or shot them and they did nothing wrong just because they were a chow. That person would be shot and I would be in jail. End of story.
Pitbulls are crossbred dogs with great dispositions. They make great family dogs. But, of course, people who have never owned one, been around one, or cared to be, let folklore and tall tales shape their perception.
The things people do to train their dogs to "fight" like hanging them from a rope when they latch on to train their jaws to lock and other aggressive methods, inbreeding, steroids etc etc. yes, THOSE things will make ANY dog psycho.
Chihuahuas and Cocker Spaniels are some of the meanest dogs I have ever seen.

Understand the breed as my father raised them years ago. Chows by nature can be aggressive. The are very one person/family protective. They do not just attack unprovoked (but there are cases) But, aggressive. Pet owners need to understand the history of the breed of dog that get. You cannot erase what the breed is breed for. But, just to shot a dog that you fear is wrong. Shooting so owners might be a good idea. But, it is easier to justify killing a dog in self-defense.
