Grasshopper, I'm guessing almost all of us would rather not shoot a dog and most would find it difficult to do. Seeing a dog one time could be it just got loose. Seeing dogs multiple times is a slob of an owner who doesn't care what the dogs worth. The dog may not know when its private land but the owner should. If someones going to own a pet they need to accept the responsiblities that go with it.
I agree, in NC there is a leash law, if the dog runs free the dog catcher will come pick him up and take him to the pound. Is that not a viable option or is there no animal control where this guy lives?
