Zep 0 #1 March 13, 2011 16 of my free range chickens and a cockrell were killed by two dogs, those doge were not from the village. As the crisis hits harder and harder people from the city are abandoning thier dogs in the country side with the misguided asumption that the dogs will fend for them selves. A dog abandoned in the wild will revert to a wild dog when hunger strikes, So please if you cannot for what ever reason look after your dog have it put down or take it to a reconised animal shelter. Today I shot two perfectly healthy dogs that were hungry I am sick and fucking tired of shooting abandoned dogs. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zep 0 #5 March 13, 2011 Here in the big cities they have patrols for strays but I'm way out in the sticks. I gave up phoning the police or rural agents as all they say is it's not thier concern till a stray bits a human, then often as not they'll say, if you see the dog shoot it. I'm afraid Spain is in some aspects years behind other countries. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirrel 0 #6 March 13, 2011 i hear ya, we live up in the desert, East of Los Angeles. The "cities" here have animal control, but drive just a few miles, and you've sometimes got to "handle" it yourself. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

You have several other options 1) Call animal control and have them picked up. 2) Feed them something besides your chickens, then they won't be hungry anymore. 3) Install a better fence. 4) Quit cher bitchin and serve them puppies up on the menu.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zep 0 #12 March 14, 2011 "3) Install a better fence. 4) Quit cher bitchin and serve them puppies up on the menu." 3) I'd need 20.5/16 miles of fence, (13000 sq acres) YOU BUY IT. 4) I thought about it but as of yet we do not have Veitnamese customers and personally I find Retrievers or German sheperds to tougfor my palet. If you had botherd to do a search you'd find that I DO TAKE IN STRAYS AND ABANDONED DOGS I also place as many puppies as I can. Your sarcasim is about par for the course.

Roxxx 0 #14 March 14, 2011 Does it cost money to have a dog picked up? If a person shoots a dog, what do they do with the body? (Yum, tastes like chicken…) Is it legal to shoot a dog? Animals from the Humane Society/Animal Shelter have electronic chips in them... in case they are lost...? or maybe in case they are 'shot in error'… "Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter accusations ASAP (As Soon As Possible).” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I have to shoot a dog or fox I'll either burn or bury it depending on the terrain. If a dog is on my land and I deem that dog to be worrying my livestock I can lawfully shoot it and then inform the local council who post a notice informing anyone who bothers to read it that a dog (with a brief discription) was shot on such and such date at such and such location. I do not make a habit of shooting dogs but if they kill my livestock, well you know the rest. Gone fishing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
