Example:If your dog attacked one of my horses,i have the right to pursue the dog and kill it.Even if it retreated to your living room.

Wow. If someone runs into my living room with a .45 in his hand or on his hip, the welfare of his miniature donkeys would be the least of his problems. If my dog is in fact guilty as charged and you don't shoot him in the act or at least on your property, it would be far wiser (trust me on this) to seek due process by going to the police instead of entering my property brandishing a gun!

Buzz,

I think Bill was just trying to get the point across that we live in completely different environments. I live in the most dope infested area in the country and he has problems with wild animals. The ranchers here are allowed to protect their livestock, but they can't go to any one's house and shoot a dog no matter if they chased it all the way home. If they are having domestic dog problems and can't get the dog while it is on their property, they can follow it and then call Animal Control and they will take care of it. As for the bears and such, they can and do shoot them, but fortunately they stay up in the mountains and canyons for the most part unless their food supply gets short, and this drought is causing some of them to come into town and rummage through garbage cans and bins. As you said, if anyone around here ran into someones house with a gun in their hand, they had best be shooting or they will be shot. That is the blessings that the dopers have brought to this area. Trust no one that you don't know. Sad and it wasn't that way when I first moved up here, but has grown worse every year.
