I read that article a few days ago i think over on the TDHA website and got just as pissed as if they were my dogs and was standing there seeing it all go down. I tell you what that guy had a lot better control than i would have i believe.

There was more to this story. The landowner was fearful for his livestock, and had livestock showing injuries consistent with dog attack. Also, out of 15 dogs on the ground, he shot 5 of them, all very close to his vehicle. This substantiates him being fearful for his own safety as well. The dogs (unfortunately) were blue ticks and pit bulls.
I am very active in talking owners of shot dogs into pursuing legal actions when dogs are unlawfully shot. I do what I can to dig up case law for their attorneys (got a job offer from an attorney in Houston for this), as well as offer my assistance in any way needed. I am currently working with Mr Boyd of Whitesboro, TX who had his TX State Champion shot and killed off a Coon, and would have loved to jump head first into this Oklahoma case. However, with the information that I currently have, I believe that this landowner truly was afraid for his own safety and that of his livestock, making the killing "justified". It's a bad deal either way, but to be completely fair each case must be scrutinized from both sides. Would I be mad if my dogs got shot? You bet I would. I have a bad case of the red tail for unlawful dog shooting as well as BSL. I am more than willing to jump in the ring to fight for each of these issues, and I am highly suspect anytime a landowner takes the "I was fearful of my life or that of my livestock" defense. In this case, however, I do truly believe that the landowner was within his rights.

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

I've read up on this case a little bit as well. I don't believe the shooter. I think he got a case of the red-ass over somebody letting their dogs run loose previously, and when he saw these dogs running loose (not on his land, mine you... but on public land) he marched over and opened fire. Just because his cattle had been attacked previously by dogs doesn't mean that these guys' dogs were the ones who did it. I don't buy that crap at all. I think this is a simple case of someone taking the opportunity to shoot dogs and feel justified for doing it.
BTW, I don't know how in the world that guy could hold his cool when his dogs were gunned down, the guy brags about it, then levels a shotgun at him too. There's no possible way I would've kept my cool in that situation. It just isn't in me.
