My hubby and I have a running joke...we'll only hunt if they give the animals fire arms also

I was talking to a big tough hunter guy (macho man) at the dog park last week, and I was appauled at what he told me...We happened to be talking about how dogs will sometimes get on a trail of an animal and stray too far from the owner. He just got this collar for his dog that has a remote and when his dog strays too far he can zap him , I told him that my dog Graham has seen a flock of deer in the past and he's taken off after them thinking he could actually "take down a deer" (I was trying to be funny and lignten up the conversation, not easy to do with a big, tough, macho hunter guy) and he told me that he's shot dogs before that were after the deer that he was trying to kill! I wanted to shoot him! I will never talk to that macho jerk again! If ANYONE shot my dog, I would turn into a madwoman and I'd probably shoot the **** who hurt my baby.

Everyone...WATCH your dogs during murdering season, because I am sure this JERK was not the only one who would shoot a dog who was chasing deer. I am nervous now, because my dog really likes to chase deer. I was always careful but now I know that even tho I keep one of those bright orange capes on Graham, if he happens to be seen chasing a deer he may get shot.

Can you believe that? Isn't that horrible?
