The question I have is a simple one. Do you respect the system of laws
which govern our society, or do you believe that you are justified in
taking matters into your own hands?

Which part of "the law" do you not understand? Here, the law states that in
certain instances, an animal may be killed by a landowner. Period. If the
conditions are met, it can be done.

I suspect that those "conditions" do not extend to inadvertent digging
in some one's yard.


I've told you in the past to visit your town hall and ask to look at YOUR
local laws. You may find them to be the same.

I have, and nowhere does it say that I can kill my neighbor's dog for
digging in my yard.

Now if the neighbor's dog runs into my yard and attacks my kid, it's a
different story.

Where I live, I can legally hunt less than a mile from my house. Guys
walk up the road with rifles all the time. We have fairly "loose" gun
laws since we don't yet have a "dense" population (I expect that will
change in the next few years). Even so, while I can probably shoot a
deer in my backyard, I don't think I can kill a pet without legal
consequences.
