I remember something similar happened in either Tennessee or Kentucky a few years back...guy cast the hounds on property he had permission for, dogs took off and eventually treed somewhere else (neighbors property) Before he could get to his hounds the landowner had already killed them at the tree. Cops were called, report was taken, etc. The landowner was charged (with what I can't recall) and the dog owner did eventually win a large settlement. In whichever state it was in (KY or TN) there is a law on the books that says when hounds are released they basically have a 40 mile radius, and landowners have to allow you to recover your dogs. The landowner can't shoot them just for being there. I realize that this isn't KY or TN that this thread is about, but I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana doesn't have a similar law on the books protecting hounds...

There may be a leash law, and I support it, but it was kind of rash for the man to up and shoot the other guys dogs. The shooter could have at least gave the guy a chance to get the dogs back into the kennel. I don't know the whole story, maybe he has had this problem before. I'm thinking the shooter acted before he thought about what he was doing. He had better look both ways while going to the mail box when his neighbor is driving down the road. LOL

Leash law says it all , it ws "THE DOG OWNERS" fault . Breaking the leash shouldn't constitute having your dogs shot. Trespassing against the law also, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to blow some guy away if he trespasses on my property. If I would I'm sure I would be convicted of murder. |

No, probabally just MANSLAUGHTER! |

Usually try to give the owner one chance/notice, unless the dog/cat looks dangerous or sick. I let a couple beagles walk last season after they ruined a great morning for me. Upon notifying the owner, they won't walk the next time. Don't like doing it, makes me angry at the owner.

I remember reading somewhere that it was legel to shoot a dog on your property, UNLESS IT WAS IN THE LAWFUL PURSUIT OF GAME, ie in season. This was a long time ago. I haven't seen it in print for a long time so I don't know if it is still on the books or not.

I'm pretty sure Camby was talking about shooting people, not animals!

Yep. I've got enough dogs roaming my neighborhood that I refuse to do what my neighbors do to me. I can't afford an invisible fence for my entire property, and I WILL NOT chain up a dog. So, I simply don't have one.
If you can't control it, don't set it free. You set it free, don't expect it to come back if it leaves your property, plain and simple.
I don't really want this to degrade into a p***ing contest, but I've shot trespassing dogs in the past, and absolutely will NOT hesitate to do it again- ESPECIALLY if I even think for a second that my family is in danger from said dog.
