Offer your opinion on a hypothetical scenario where a dog is charging towards someone and they have to defend themselves by shooting the dog.
Shoot my dog if he is charging you with teeth bared ! The home owner is 100% wrong blaming Mr. Mellerstig for shooting his dog when he charged at him with teeth bared. Mr. Brailey is negligent having an invisible fence- which is INVISIBLE to someone walking by- all they see is the threat of a charging snarling dog. His body was half outside the property line so that tells you it did NOT stop him. I have 2 huge black dogs inside a fence with 6 ft. gates. They will bark and run the fence to let you know they are standing their ground. If one were to get out and charge at you barking I would not blame you if you shot him. If you had a child with you, I would be remorseful that my dog caused you to fear for your child. To the people that get so bent out of shape over a dog being shot- what would you do if a MOOSE were charging you and your child with his head down, ears back- no doubt what his attempt was-to mow you down and stomp you. You would shoot him...would you not ?
