I understand shooing the dog away if she was a danger to the chickens but he didn't have to KILL it! Sheesh, its a miniature dachshund for cripes sake, how dangerous is that? Emphasis on the miniature. The stupid hens CAN protect themselves *I've seen hens beat back coyotes*. Granted the owner was a moron for letting the dog out so many times, but isn't that a matter for animal control?

Grrrrrr I hope they send his sorry @$$ to jail.

And besides who goes out and beats a dog to death in front of its owner? If it were big and snarling I might understand SHOOTING it to get it away from the livestock but beating it?! When the owner was retrieving the dog?!



I hope his practice flops...I sure as heck wouldn't take my dog to a vet like him!
