What do you need a Mountie for, when a simple slap upside the head will suffice?

What would be even funnier is if you took out gang releated killings and susicides, the rate would drop dramatically....but that would not benifit the anti gun folks now...would it....

The man has a right to defend his property . the trespassers were clearly breaking the law having ignored the no trespassing signs, Who knows what their intensions are willing to break one law why not another and another .
The loss of a beloved animal heightens the issue proving carelessness of the intruders.
'the farmer depends on his animals for a living and they are jeopardizing his living.
the farmer has every reason to believe the intruders are a danger .

Yeah! Who knows? Better shoot them just in case they might scare you later.

And you'll note that this guy had to chase them down. Hard to make an argument you're defending yourself against someone when you have to chase them down to do it.

At least the alpaca farmer slapped the guy on the head for stressing his animals. He would have been shot in the US.
And you would have some CD conservatives defending his right to shoot any trespassers for any reason.

Guns are not third on the list. Rifles maybe but all firearms make up about 2/3 of the weapons used in murder.
