I wonder if they will serve duck, dog, or both.Damn, that's gonna be a chilly block party.
High velocity air rifle. Put a .177 pellet in the dog's butt. Dog learns lesson never to return to that property, owner has to pay vet bill and nobody hears any shots fired.When possible, use a crossbow
Cupid did it
I think that's a good option before killing the dog. The owners get second very stern warning with some financial consequences. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize there will not be a third warning.High velocity air rifle. Put a .177 pellet in the dog's butt.

Unfortunately some people are just not that smart.......Hopefully they are smart enough to realize there will not be a third warning.
As long as you repot it promptlyI'll start shooting the neighbors chickens and ducks that come on my property
You may be in the minority, but you are not alone. I already agreed that the duck guy had the right to shoot the dog, but I can't say I wouldn't be so upset about it that I wouldn't have it out for his ducks. Of course I'd rather just shoot duck guy I guess.I'll be the minority here and say if it was my dog, all of my neighbors ducks would've ended up on my dinner table.
Look into the exceptions to that ruleHow does the "within 500' of an occupied dwelling" rule apply here?
Duck owner arrested jacked up for not having a FID
dog>duck. maybe the duck owner should have kept the ducks in pens
The law also allows you to shoot the dog if it hassles a person.So not trying to be a wise a$$ here, but isn't the law that you can protect livestock only. I mean I don't get that luxury of shooting my neighbors dog when it comes in my yard and hassles my dog right? If my understanding on this is correct, then anyone that has ducks, chickens, goats, etc and says they are a pet and not just a means for food should not get that either.
It's kinda hard to bait a dog into your yard that is on a leash, run, or securely fenced yard. It was a good shot and hopefully a learning experience for the dog owner.How did the dogs enter the duck yard? Was there an open gate? Did they jump a fence.
I think there are a lot of unanswered questions before we can assign blame.
There is potential both parties are partly responsible.
The dog owners for sure bear some responsibility.
But if duck boy had an inappropriate enclosure / structure he could bear some of the responsibility too.
And if so is shooting the dog at that point legal or could one argue he was baiting the dogs?
Yes, we all know the dogs were off leash. But even so if duck boy had a proper fence or enclosure the dogs would not have been able to get in the yard or at the ducks even if off the leash.It's kinda hard to bait a dog into your yard that is on a leash, run, or securely fenced yard.
