What is wrong with people....

Geez. I happen to think what goes around comes around and the people who do these hideous acts will get pay their dues in the end.

Ester is a pretty girl. Hopefully she and her babies will all find wonderful loving homes.

That is terrible but I am happy the dogs turned out OK. It makes me wonder if who ever shot this dog knew what kind of dog it was (domestic) or if they thought it was some sort of wild dog such as a wolf or coyote? The dog was found on a farm so I could see a farmer thinking this dog (which may have looked wolfish) was a threat to his livestock and took a few shots at it. Its perfectly legal to kill a coyote any time of the year and some communities have been having trouble with coyotes. I'm not condoning these actions I'm just trying to understand why someone would shot this dog.

I could just think that a nasty person shot this dog for the heck of it because it was stray and wouldn't leave the yard, but I like to keep some faith in our fellow man.

pretty big stretch to mistake this dog for a coyote.

it is also completely legal to shoot a dog that is messing with livestock.

Then again some folks are just looking for a reason to be cruel to animals. I would hope a person with livestock would make an attempted to identify the dogs owner before resorting to bullets.

Unfortunately there will always be people who act in such ways.

sadly, all too often the dogs that harass livestock have owners who don't care. There is no recourse before the fact in many rural areas to have Animal Control pick up a wandering dog. If you call all you will be told is "shoot the dog if it comes near the livestock"

I have had the police contact owners of dogs that have killed my livestock. 5 minutes later, I see the dog wandering through my yard again. Now, sadly, my first option is to shoot.

It is sad that owners do not take responsibility for their animals. Neglectful owners would be the stem of this issue, why was this dog a stray?

There are too many questions and "what ifs", I guess the important thing is the dogs are now safe and alive.

yes, I think a lot of situations like this would never happen in people/owners would use some common sense.

Sadly, all of the dogs I've ever had problems with 99% have NOT been strays. They just have owners who believe "Oh, we are in the country, dogs should roam free"
