His daughter won’t be getting mauled or killed by those dogs. People have an obligation to control their animals and this owner had already been warned.
Occasionally on the farm we would get dogs who would pack up and chase the cattle (that kills them in the summer). We didn’t try to find the owners we just shot them, because we knew that they would be back and chances weren’t good that we’d be there the next time. When the dogs were not in the process of killing livestock, and you knew where the dog belonged, the response was always, “Not my dog. Couldn’t have been my dog. He’s been chained up all night.”
How many opportunities do think should have been provided for these Pit Bulls to mingle with his daughter? Should a man have to watch over his children with a gun in his own backyard?
I was also told that line when a neighbor's roamer came and attacked my chained dog in my yard and I called him about it.
The next night, I didn't kill the dog - it made it back home, but it was either the owner put the animal down or he would have to provide it a prosthetic hip.
