Shot the dog in front of its owners. It may be legal, but it is was not right, as the saying goes.

The dog, according to Monroe, had previously gone onto his property many times and killed more than a dozen of his chickens, and his owners had been warned. And that is...as they say...that.
Even here in Massachusetts you can legally shoot and kill an animal that is molesting your livestock.

We have one like that...Walker Tree Hound mix.
Too friendly with humans and other dogs, but if it sees a rabbit, squirrel or chipmunk, all the training in the world is not going to stop it. Their hunting instinct is hard wired.

Our neighborhood Facebook HOA page is all day, everyday non-stop posts about idiots losing their dogs and asking folks to be on the lookout for them.
In the story above, I say good for the guy that shot the dog, if you cannot control your dog and it’s out killing things for fun, that what you get.

When I last had a dog, I spent quite a lot of time working with him to ensure he was reliable off-leash. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Horribly ignorant comment that far too many people believe. I have seen two dogs who were being walked off leash crushed by cars and I'm certain the dog's owners were certain they were reliable off leash also. Until they weren't.
Those images have never left my head and I feel obliged to relay the story any time I hear something like you posted. They are dogs and their instinct will never completely be trained out of them. And their lives and the lives they may harm are not worth the risk simply because it's inconvenient to have them on a leash in any potential dangerous situation.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I read it that if the dog got off the leash he could at have some off-leash training to rely on. I keep my dogs on leash but train them to behave off leash just in case. Dogs often think if they are behind a wall or off the leash they are safe to go nuts. Well, mine know they are not.

I will promise you this. No matter how well trained your pet is off leash if they see something which sets them off such as a cat,squirrel or another dog, at one point they will bolt.I agree. Besides, what's the point of letting a dog go off the leash? Is it to show of one's superb dog-training skills?

Clearly you’re not privy to the pit bull threads at FR.
The DOG is to blame. Period.

That’s a standard law. If it kills or threatens livestock, then it can be shot. A dog I once had jumped a fence and started chasing cattle. A sheriff instantly pulled up and put his 30/30 on top of the car roof ready to kill the dog unless I got it out NOW. I did call it back and the dog lived.

I am, I am very familiar with those sadly.
As an owner of three German Shepherds, I am already aware that I can make a mistake at anytime that can cause injury or death to someone else.
I am ultimately responsible for everything they do.
One of my duties is to make sure that they do not menace or threaten anyone, or be a nuisance to anyone, mostly especially my neighbors, and the reason for this particular duty is to ensure that they do not anger another human to the point that they take action against the dog, such as killing it or having it taken by the state or city.

My father killed my 3rd grade teacher’s dog...it kept going after our chickens...he said he really meant to just scare it, but he hit it. I still was teacher’s pet.

You may need a more powerful air rifle.

The only exception I have seen to this are professionally trained k-9s and those animals are actually constantly in training by their handlers so as to re enforce what they have previously learned.About 15,000 dog bite incidents a year by police K9's against officers or bystanders and a little under 200 incidents of a lost K9 officer indicates that even your exception isn't one. A dog off a leash can bolt or attack anyone, no matter how well trained. The difference training will make is if they come back to your side after they spit the person or creature out. Keep your dogs on leashes.

Sounds like a reasonable but inequitable trade to me. If people want these big animals or viscous animals they have got to keep them under control or have a place big enough to let them roam. They will follow their instincts no matter what and a lot of those instincts are bad ones.
I have noticed two area dogs on a long roam in the west pasture. If I could reach out and touch them I would. We will have new calves on the ground in a couple of months and dogs have no place being with them then.

I’ve wanted one for a guard animal but don’t think I can control it well enough. Somebody a few miles from here has two and they cover about a half mile radius. You’ll see them walking right down the middle of the highway. Can’t believe someone has not hit one already. Irresponsible letting them roam like that.
Good job on trying to be responsible.

Sad for both sides. The dog was not properly trained or exercised. Owners fault.
The other person lost his cat and livestock.
Lose/lose that could have been avoided.
