This is kind of starting and or stirring a hornets nest in the wrong direction, and each to their own on that, debate, argue what have you, not my intent to inflame this into something it's not.
I share my experiences to make a point based on facts I have seen first hand.
These domestic dogs in my sitution long ago were outright gone off the deep end becasue the owners let it happen and they had been allowed to get a firm hold for quite awhile, reproducing etc., It was a severe case of animal abuse, and obviously no 2 situations will be the same. The main point here was that they have the potential and can become a real problem in a short period of time if nothing is done about it. Three SSS's - well if your hiding something illegal that's what you do, I lived right next to a state police barracks then and they knew the deal and heard the shots, there was nothing to hide here, most of them also lived in rural areas and would have done the same without hesitation, to boot all of them back then served this country honorably, so if there was a problem, they'd have intervened.
I don't think there is any practical discussion of it any further, I realize now that I probably should have passed up this thread, but it really irks me to see the results of what has happened with no recourse to correct the situation, be it lethal or some lesser means when it comes to dogs that attack unprovoked.
I think it's common knowledge all animals will defy fences and means to keep them confined, the problem is when a particular species such as a dog reverts to their wild instincts, and hunts for food in packs when their owners do not provide for them, whereas this can easily become an inherent danger to non aggressive penned up livestock and human beings in the right situation. Their behaviour can stem from a variety of things, no food, abuse, the need to run or whatever. The worst is when an owner abuses or just harbors mean dogs, and they get free as happens with one particular breed we see on the news all so often. I lived the problem, and I unfortunately had no choice but to deal with it harshly, with the justification to rid our place of an obvious hazard caused by abusive neighbors who had over 2 dozen dogs + the wild ones in the back in abandoned buildings. It can happen, and the results can be very ugly, the horse was lame after that and had to be eventually put down after 2 years of daily treatment, the girl suffered terrible injuries, because some miserable old lady was inbreeding some of the nastiest german shepherds I've ever seen, they got out and guess what happened.
By the same token if a kid teases or taunts a dog, fools with one when it's hot or is eating, then gets bit, no, you don't shoot the dog. Dog comes out of my neighbors yard all the time, hair raised, snarling, I show no fear and yell at him, no, you don't shoot the dog then either, he's protecting the place, but the owner still has a responsibility to maintain control of the dog.
Missing persons ? We are talking about dogs here, specifically ones that potentially attack other animals and or people, and the recourse one has to mitigate the hazard.
