Man serves time when Dog Kills Cat

Let's also make a very important distinction here.... Many of us live in ares where kind, thoughtful folks "drop off" their pets and drive away. That is a guaranteed problem in the making.

Wisconsin, for example, is trying to figure out what to do with millions of feral cats, some of which have not been domesticated for generations. They are trying to declare open hunting season on them.

Pet owners rise up in indignation, but they overlook one salient fact: these animals are not pets anymore. Barnyard cats are not pets either. They are livestock, bred and used to control vermin.

The farm dog, like his sheepdog cousin, is there to protect the property and livestock against predation by other canines, be they wild, domesticated or somewhere in between.

If he can't do his job, he is essentially "fired" by the intruders and you have to find a bigger, tougher ( or in Murf's case smaller-tougher) dog to stand guard while you sleep.

Most of these rules go out the window in suburbia as there is no livestock and little property to protect. The problem occurs in the boundary areas where uneducated, "unemployed" pets wander into the "working" dog-eat-dog war zone.

Man serves time when Dog Kills Cat

2.5 fenced acres is a great environment for a Lab and giant mastiff.

I can't remember how many times I have found giant dogs cooped up in a 400 square foot apartment in the middle of a city. Talk about a ticking bomb.......

I even had one case where the owner keeled over and the cooped up dogs ate him. Yes, you read that right. I still wake up night sometimes with the nightmares of the sights and smells of that house.

Big dogs belong outside if you want to keep them from going mental. If you want to coop a dog up in a tiny space get a Pekingese or a teacup poodle, or just bag the dog idea totally.
