I hate people that do this, they are some of the lowest around. 'Tribal justice'....

I too am concerned for the welfare of the dog.

I've heard VKI issue P1's for serious offences invloving firearms before.

cheers

The guy shot the dog because it was attacking his sheep.
I live close to there they're semi-rural properties. On the one hand I feel for the guy who's sheep were killed but I also feel for the guy who owns the dog.
I like animals and do a lot of rehabilitation work with all kinds of animals. In this case it seems rough to shoot the dog but if it was cutting sick on the sheep then it wasn't shot for no reason.
I don't know all the facts but it wouldn't be right if he didn't at least approach the dogs owner before shooting it.

Personaly I got no problem blowing a dog away if it's killing my animals.
I like dogs and I'm not a heartless prick, but hey, this guy probably makes a living off his livestock and for all we know this guy may be shooting as a last resort.

considering the property would be no bigger than 5 acres i seriously doubt it. Its across the road from the city of gosnells council chambers!

doesnt matter were it is.could be sheep today and kids the next.the owner of dog should keep it locked up.end of story.

[brad_88]

agreed lytec, but it could be the same with the shooter as well, dogs today kids the next,

That's a bit more of an extreme step, although not impossible
