Ok splain me this......would this scenario have been any different had the dogs been shot by a landowner who allowed NO HUNTING? To me it is the same thing since ALL properties in Alabama are posted and require written permission to hunt. The pro dog side here seem to be saying that they shouldnt have shot the dogs but I can assure you that almost anyone short of some hippie tree hugging PETAmember will shoot your dogs if it happens more than a few on his non hunting land. Dont know the rules there but Cullman county has a leash law which says if you dont have em on a leash they better stay on your land.
