Felony "Animal Cruelty"

People are so out of touch with reality especially when it comes to dogs any more. How did they even know she was the one that shot them? I’m not a liar but around here no matter what the story is we never saw anyone’s dogs.
I sure hope that she gets a judge that has some freaking common sense in this and can see that your friend was in the right. I gave 2 stray dogs a pass before and it back fired badly so I am totally on your friends side. Her and her animals well being is more important then dogs with irresponsible owners!

 

Maybe as a friend. You could puchase her "animals for a sum of $1.00 each". But leave them on her property, under her care, until this is finished. Then she wouldnt have any animals to lose. ( per say) but next time. Dont tell anyone who shot what dog..just bury it.

 

Good grief, those cops should have taken a better look at the history of the dogs. She’s already been terrorized by them and had extensive vet bills for her dog who they attacked. I’d of done the same thing.
I really hope she wins this! It’s ridiculous that it’s even gotten this far. I agree with @Moers kiko boars that she should temporarily “sell” her critters to protect them just in case the worst happens and she gets a city slicker judge or worse a judge who transferred from a non-agricultural area because their taxes were to high (CA,NYC)
Praying for your friends victory in court !

 

Hoping that particular police officer wasn't familiar with the history at the time of the incident but that after review it's clear that they were a threat. I sure hope she gets her legal fees and maybe even the veterinary costs from the previous attack back.

 

I hope she wins. ( actually, no one wins, but I hope your friend does not get convicted).
Not all dogs are sweet little lap dogs. If dogs are running free with no boundaries, they are usually predators and have to be treated as such.

 

I love animals and am pro life, but if my animals are threatened by an animal not controlled I will not hesitate to protect tgem. Especially if my animals cannot defend themselves. I am sorry your friend is facing this.

 

Ugh, so terrible. I hope she is treated fairly and isn’t convicted. That’s ridiculous. And I hope something can be done about the neighbor with the dogs. This is why I want to live in the middle of nowhere!

 

We had a massacre of half of our chickens, last year, and let it be known that the owner of the 2 dogs could add us to the list of neighbors who would not hesitate to shoot, if her dogs ever came on our land, again. We still had/ have other critters to protect. Shortly afterward, they moved, so there was no longer an issue. I'm sure your friend will be vindicated!

 

Wow I’m rooting for your friend! That’s awful!
Quick story. So we had some neighbors down the road that were really trashy and had like 10 medium to large sized dogs. Well they were far enough away that we didn’t pay much attention to them besides the occasional comment about their trashiness. Well one day we noticed that they had packed up and left their house. No dogs in sight, so we figured that they got kicked out of their rent house. Any way, about a week later I saw a bunch of those dogs in our pasture. So I chased them off and didn’t think much more about it... until that evening when we found a newborn calf half eaten in our pasture. The poor mother was so distraught. We went to the old neighbors house and found the dogs there covered in blood. Anyway, after dealing with the whole law and animal protection service thing, we found out that they had MOVED and LEFT THEIR DOGS THERE TO STARVE!!!!!!! What’s wrong with those people?! No wonder those dogs killed that calf! They were starving. Poor things. The owners came back and got the dogs and then left again. I really hate to think about what happened to them after that.
Anyway, rant and story over now. What horrible people are in the world. Thank goodness that there are good people too.

 

Ugh I hope your friend wins! That really sucks. I would have done the same exact thing.

 

Here is a complete opposite look. Growing up on a chicken farm as a child my father could never shoot another animal. Kulling chickens for the meat market was as far as he could go. So when the neighbors collies came over one day to help themselves, he politely leashed them and trained them to watch over our chickens. Two years but in the end Milo and spot were brilliant.
A once in a blue moon thing. And the neighbor had no clue. He never botheted looking for them either

 

I agree. Especially if they are raised not to respect bounderies.
