Triskit Got Shot!!!

[Catty1]

Sumbirdy - you mentioned in another post that your family was building a better fence.

I hope it is done before one of your dogs dies in an accident. You have had two close calls already...there is a death waiting to happen there.

hugs

The dog that was hit by a bus *did* die. Less than a year old too, rest in peace, Checkers. I hope a good fence is built soon.

The poor baby! I hope she'll be okay and none of the other dogs you have get shot too during the hunting season. Aren't there any type of confinement laws regarding dogs in your area?

No there isn't. Apparently the dogs found a hole in the fencing which needs to be fixed but unfortunately we are low on money right now. Here it is illegal to shoot a dog that is running free if it has a collar and/or tags. Even if they are terrorizing livestock.

Not too sure where you got that information from ...
You might want to read the actual Oklahoma Laws that pertain to dogs and
dogs running at large - see >>>

I'd suggest you find a way to patch the fence - the next escapee may
not be so lucky!

I would be interested to know what the Vet said about her injury & if
he/she put your dog on an antibiotic.

Your state does atleast have a law stating that if a dog is chasing livestock, the owner of the livestock can shoot the dog, and seeing how you weren't with your dog and it was running at large, this may have been what happened. Of course there is still a chance that it could be a hunter but either way your dog was running and it is your job to keep them safe. Maybe your dogs will have to be tied up even in the fenced yard to help keep them safe or maybe you could find a used dog kennal they can stay in when you can't be outside with them. I hope your dog is feeling better and gets checked by the vet.

In my county, if a dog is running on someones property during hunting season, that person can legelly shot the dog. Here it is bow season, small game and several bird seasons. I would keep all dogs in a fenced in area, a kennal, tie out, on a leash or in the house. When walking them, keep them on a leash with an orange vest on. A few weeks ago a dog got shot when it was running and everyone felt so bad for the owner, but why was the dog out running was my first question? Dog owners new to be responsibly for their dog's safety!

Oh, no. I hope she recovers quickly!

[Mikki]

In my area it is permissable to shoot dogs that are running loose and posing a threat to livestock or wild game animals. Even chasing them can be considered a "threat". I live not too far from an Indian reservation.

Well lessons learned from all the comments above, I hope Trisket has a healthy recovery.
