    I don't know if the dog attacking chickens story passes the smell test or not, but the township ordinance probably won't stand in defiance of state law.

    Just call the cops. In the meantime the chickens bacame a 5 course meal for the dog.

    That's a shame. I would never shoot a dog for just being on my property. Now, if it were killing my critters, I would shoot it.

    I would at least attempt to chase it off first. If it growled or showed any sign of aggression, I would put it down. Shooting a dog just because it's on your land isn't cool.

    However, shooting a dog to defend your livestock from attack or imminent attack is legal.

    There ya go. Nothing like inflicting a little pain on an animal to brighten one's day.


    I'm not really trying to get into a smartass contest here. If the dog is on your property and is/is about to attack one of your animals, shoot it. I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever.

    If the dog is just passing through or checking things out, I have no idea why anybody would shoot it.

    That's all I have to say about it.
