In reply to the discussion: Chesco sheep owner charged in killing of two dogs [View all]Comrade Grumpy
(13,184 posts)8. Back at you, intemperate one.
Much of the heat on the original thread was, I think, because two discussions were conflated:
1. Do farmers and ranchers have the right to kill animals threatening their livestock? The answer is yes.
2. Was this Gilotti guy correct in shooting the dogs? The state now doesn't think so. But the earlier article that prompted the heated discussion didn't have all the information we have now.
It would be helpful if people could keep the two issues separate.

No kidding. This guy jumped me for trying to point out exactly what you've said.

Yes, if someone is defending livestock that is actually being attacked by dogs

Ah, but you see, the thing that pissed ME off is they all jumped to conclusions.
