There's a side to this story that's not being told. Obviously these
dogs had either been abandoned by their owners or allowed to run loose
in the wild. Either way it's a bad thing. Dogs running loose in
the wild revert to their natural instincts and form hunting packs
which prey upon wildlife and sometimes humans. Shooting is probably
the appropriate cure, and is sometime conducted by DNR officers if
caught hunting in packs or acting agressively. The real crime here is
that they were obviously shot with an inappropriate weapon or by
someone with a bad aim.

I'd guess that many if not most of these dogs end up being euthanized
by the animal shelter people.
