Hi Judy! You will get no criticism from me about shooting dogs who attack and kill livestock. There is no excuse for this. These dog's ovners should be found and sued for the cost of the animals their dogs destroyed. I do not blame the animals - it is dogs' instinct to pack and run down game. But these are either pets that are not kept in check or ferel dogs abandoned by their owners. They are dangerous not only to livestock but to other pets (I lost a cat to such a group once.) and to small children. Peace, loe and peppers Lorraine
