red dawn-contact the dog owner first?how do you know who the dog belongs to?what if the dog has no tags?what if the dog is chasing game or killing farm animals?if the owners truly care about their dogs they would either keep the penned up or kept at home during hunting season. no excuse for an owner to allow their animals to roam all over others property.is a dog just being a dog by killing chickens of your neighbor? is the dog just being a dog by chasing animals thru the woods?how about the owner being an owner and keeping track of his or her pets.if they are stray dogs not only will they chase and kill animals they will also carry disease to other pets and animals. lets be realistic here.
