Source : http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/...man/7870014.stm Haven't they always do that? In some cases the farmer should have the right to shoot the owner and leave the dog alone.

MilitantDogOwner Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Does a warning have to be given like when shooting at humans or does this give farmers carte blanche to blast away. And is there a legal clarification of what "worrying live stock" constitutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 And is there a legal clarification of what "worrying live stock" constitutes? It depends on the livestock in question. Chicken-livered chickens and scaredy cats are almost permanently worried so looking at them in a funny way is out. You can't say Boo to a goose. Whereas you'd have to deploy tactical nuclear weapons, to mildly perturb an old-goat or a silly ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
