Why do you guys respect Laws that pertain to when, where and how you can shoot deer, but pick and choose the other Laws that are on the Books?

A deer is just an animal and people should be able to kill them anytime and anyway they want to, right?

Agree but neither should rise to a level of a felony (I think that was
your point also).

Felony shootings should only apply to people, not animals. We have
to resist the efforts of the animal worshipping crowd to exalt animals
to the same level of people.

Are you scared of a debate, Danny? Still haven't bothered to answer a few simple questions...

I'll give you the advantage too. I'll only post questions if you will answer them honestly and truthfully.

Roe vs. Wade...... of legality of dog killing.....

A felony for shootin a dog is absolutely absurd. We already got to many stinking Bambi lovers out there.

We wouldn't even be having this discussion if the dogs were contained to the owners property. That is the root of the problem. Zero dogs would be getting shot. Matter of fact, that is only solution that will ensure that minimal dogs are killed in the woods. Let them roam on others land and you WILL run the risk of the dog being killed.

Kind of ridiculous that folks make the case that dogs are above the level of a game animal and therefore can't be shot. However they are not on the level of a human so they or their owners do not have to worry about them trespassing on another's land or negatively impacting their outdoor experience.

I thought it was a coyote; I'm new to coyote killing. If its on my land it goes by my rules.

Silly comparison but....


Because men left to our own devices would decimate the herd.

Hunting seasons are for conservation and herd preservation.

I must have missed the dog season in my handbook.

Bottom line...control your dogs and they wont get shot...period.

This new law seems very subjective to me. Somebody had better be defining "good cause". Part of the proposed law reads as follows:

"(3) Kills or injures without good cause any animal
belonging to another."

I can only think of the old South Park episodes where the old dude would yell "He's coming right for us" before he shot anything, no matter what it was. That way you can justify the shooting.

"without good cause" is subjective, of course.

Bubba

"I killed my girlfriend, what did you do"

Dog Killer

"I shot a dog, got 3 years"

I don't think the bill is subjective. The "good causes" are specifically set forth in the original statute, which I quoted above in this thread. The "Applicability" section is actually a list of exceptions. If the situation fits an exception that is listed, then you had "good cause".

Also worth noting is that the proposed bill does NOT intend to supercede or replace the existing statute. The bill, as written and explicitly stated in the language of the bill, only amends a particular section of the statute. It does NOT replace it, and therefore the exceptions/applicabilities will still stand.

After briefly reading through it, I believe it's reasonable to assume that you will be comitting a felony if you shoot another mans dog because it crosses over your property line.....IMO

Do I think that's right? NO

Do I think that's what will happen? YES

Are all dogs the same?

You advocate the shooting of a coyote that is chasing a doe out in the open, but argue that shooting a dog that was doing the same exact thing is against the law.

Before you say that Coyotes are not the same as a domestic dog, they are in the same Genus category. They can interbreed. They are the same except one is domesticated and the other is not.

You are ignoring the SIMPLE fact that one is legal and the other is not!

Danny, you are ignoring the simple fact that the law specifically allows a person to shoot a dog if it chasing ANY animal, including deer, on a property that is not the animal's owner. It's black and white.

Are you a progressive liberal (loose interpretation of the law) or a conservative constituitionalist (strict interpretation of the law)?

You can't have it both ways and be a conservative and ignore the exclusion in the statute.

Evil Knievil couldn't even make some of the leaps that are attempted around here!!!!

one small little problem there , yote's are listed as a game animal and can be killed any time durning legal shoting hours

No, Andy, that is not what it specifically says.
That is your interpretation of what it says.

What point are you trying to get across hogwild? We all know you love your dogs
