Hi all, just to let you know the real facts about the dog shooting , the dog owner has been warned on several occasions about his dog running around the neighbour hood , the dog was actually attacking the wallaby when it was shot at, the dog is a bull terrior cross , capable of taking down any animal, the wallaby would surley have been killed if no one intervened , the wallaby substained quit a lot of damage from the attack, and was unable to hop away , yes i am the person responsible , and love animals very much , my wife is a X wild life carer , and was very upset when this happened , i am sick to death of people that don't take responsible for their animals , especially dogs , the law has to be change to protect animals , and humans , you see to often that people or children are mauled by dogs , but nothing is done until it is too late. I will fight this until justice has been served .
I'd be furious if someone shot my dog because he was doing what he does naturally (especially as a whippet- very fond of chasies!) There are certainly safer ways of stopping a dog from chasing.
