re: Shooting Dogs

Glad I could spark a little debate on this slow afternoon. I guess you can call me wrong, but IMO, the only thing wrong with killing a dog, is if it's a dog that belongs to someone and it was an honest mistake that they let it roam free...once, maybe twice. These dogs are always on our land. I'm not some View-watching, tree hugging dog lover. So in my mind, a stray dog is no different than any other animal, albeit a racoon, armadillo or anything else. People shoot hogs for ruining something they invest money in; crops, hunting, etc. Why is it different just because it's a dog?
