Greg H - Has it occured to you that perhaps the extra shots were simply warning shots into the air to scare the dog off? That is just as likley has the man being a poor shot. Perhaps he gave a couple warning shots & when the dog wouldn't scram he capped it. This would account for both the number of shots, lack of more shot in the dog & why his rabbits weren't hit. But since none of us witnessed it we will never know.

Bunny Jumper - Very few kids teach basic obedience. But adults can.

Six Shooter - Swamper wasn't talking about hurting the man over a $5.00 rabbit. He was talking about hurting the man & his animals if they shot a trespassing harassing beagle. But it doesn't matter if the dog was worth $1000, I still think a dog owner hurting a man or his animals b/c of the results of the dog owner's own negligence is still a real tacky thing to do.

Blah ,Blah ,Blah , Blah what it all boils down to is just being good neighbors . All ya'll set up here and talk about controlling your animals . Let me ask how many of you have never had to chase a dog down that slipped from the pen ? I can see both sides of the pancake ,but with the info that I have this guy was beiing an A !!#!@$@ hole . I don't know about your beagle s but if someone fired a gun while they weren't running a rabbit they would be heading for the next county . So the warning shots theory don't sell . Now thats all I have to say about that !!!!!!\

Now for Mr. Pee Shooter ( see we can call names to ) No one here personally attacked anyone but you . Thats a trailer trash thing to do ( You know like the stars on the Jerry Springer Show they call each other little vulgar names ) . Now if Mr .Alabama Swamper is a REDNECK then I can say I am proud to be a friend of a REDNECK ,and I am a REDNECK to LOL . All that have ever met me will get a big laugh out of that .

when i was a kid, we had a sorry a@# across the road who would kill our hounds if they simply ran a rabbit from our farm to his dump or junkyard,(whatever you want to call it!) our yard dogs would go over there to eat his garbage, since he wouldnt put it out for pickup.this scumbag had no reason whatsoever to kill our hounds,especially when his goats got over in our garden,we ,at least gave him a warning!we tried the police but the bottom line was a leash law,even though we lived in a rural part of our county. a cop responded to the last incident we had and told us we could get him for the trash on our property,when he said our dogs drug it all over, i held up an s.t.p. oil can and asked how often dogs would make a special trip for an oil can??? i will end it by saying that he sold out and moved away long before we did.--- as for the guy raising rabbits,right or wrong,he was protecting his rabbits. yes he could have been more tactful but he wasnt.as many have said,we dont know the whole story,maybe that pup payed him a couple visits in the past. i doubt he fired any warning shots with 00 buckshot . i agree w/gbeagle on the a@#hole theory and trying to control your hound as i can relate to that situation.

Where in any post did I say anything about killing anyone?????????

Yes, I would pick my time and beat his tail and take my assualt charge. Be well worth it and then again, it might be self defense. I'd let a jury decide that after hearing what he did.

Blunder, this beagle according to this story was 8 months old
Soooooooooo!!!!!!! That is about as lame a reason to or not to shoot as there is. To Begin with I challenge you to look at a pack of beagles and pick out the ones that are 8 months old. An 8 months old Beagle is perfectly capable of becoming a daddy ya know!!!!

The only reason for even reporting the dogs age could have no other reason than to incite emotions.

I've seen my fair share of 8 month old beagles and owned quite a few myself. That goes for big hounds also. Unless they are naturally mean as hell, they are harmless and the jerk could have probably walked out and picked him up and carried him back to the neighbors house.

Never said they couldn't kill a tame rabbit either. What I said was......shooting the dog was wrong in this situation. I can only go by what I know from the article. From the facts I've read, the guy went beyond realistic means of taking care of the problem.

One of these days, some of you is going to have a dog shot by some idiot. Please, when this happens, get on here and tell us how you feel.

Unless he was shooting at point blank range (which would pee me off even more about his), then 15 buckshot is a pretty accurate number for 3 shots. Heck, even at 30 yards on a deer, you'd be doing pretty good to get that many with the average shotgun.

alabama i truly hope no one on this board has to face something like that, ivebeen kinda hard on you , but there is two sides to every story, man could have been protecting a large investment or his kids animals, could have been some a$$ hole wanting to kill a pup we don,t know but one thing i know no one wins in these matters. hope your running is good

Swamper - If someone shot one of my dogs I never said it wouldn't bother me. In fact, I specifically said I'd feel sad about it, even hurt or angry. But if it was MY fault the dog out out & harassed someone & was killed as a result, I would not take out my emotions on the other person. That wouldn't be right IMO if I was the one who was responsible for the dog's death in the 1st place.

JMHO ...

You guys that raise or own tame rabbits know that they are a frail animal. Just stress can kill them. I have seen dogs chase my tame rabbits in a cage on the ground and the rabbits go nuts, bouching off the sides and top of the pen. It don't take much to injur or kill one. The guy might not be a dog lover like us, maybe he's just a rabbit lover. He was in his right.

What ever happened to "neighborly" and "COMMUNITY"? Do I have the right to shoot my neighbors cow that broke through the fence and is eating my garden? What about his prize bull that has my yard dog hemmed up in a corner of the yard?? What WE do in the South is round the cows back up and put them back in the neighbors pasture! Have people gotten so cold that this type of act is justified because the "Law" says the dog is trespassing? What ever happened to talking with each other and working out a plan? What about catching the dog, calling the neighbor and saying "hey, we have a problem" and solving the problem whether it be putting a permitter fence around YOUR property or the rabbit owner modifying his rabbit pens to make them less accessible to stray dogs? I just don't get it? Why is it so hard to work with your neighbors for a better and peacful place to live? Why does everyone have to be "right or justified"? Why not work together for a solution you both can live with?
To me, this situation isn't about who was in the wrong, it was about how it was delt with. It is sad. Seems nobody cares about their community or neighbors anymore.
