From the "Illawarra Mercury"

Nowra woman’s dogs shot dead after she tripped and dropped leads.

"It was perfectly within the rights of a farmer, living at Nowra Hill, to shoot three dogs that entered his neighbour’s property, and allegedly attacked a kangaroo.

The dogs were reportedly heading towards livestock, but in four quick shots, they were killed on Friday, March 16.

Though the farmer cannot prove the dogs were aggressive, or in the vicinity of livestock, or they attacked a kangaroo, rangers have taken his word for it, and the case is closed as far as they are concerned."

Dear Is Mise,

From your post, it appears that if the lady in question
dropped her dog leads - the dogs would have had to have
collars on them - indicating that they were someone's
pets. Therefore no matter what - the farmer should have
just made a phone call to the proper authorities to
remove the dogs - NOT shoot them.

It appears that there may have been disagreements between
the neighbours and the farmer took it out on the dogs.
Which definitely would not improve their neighbourly
relations.

Foxy,

I missed that bit, where was it?

Farmers have the right to shoot dogs on their properties. End of story. An Adelaide radio personality had the throats of both his Jack Russells cut by a farmer in the Adelaide Hills. Not an eyelid was batted.

Foxy,
If the woman's story were true, all the dogs would have been dragging leads. No mention of that. Likely also that at least one lead would have snagged and secured one dog. Again no mention.

Property owners have right to shoot uncontrolled dogs on their property and that law should remain as is. A pack of three dogs can do a terrible lot of damage,in my experience.

If I had lost three dogs in the way the woman claimed, I would have alerted the neighbours to keep a look out.

a bit off the topic however the woman who shot the utubers yesterday was a vegan, a woman, an animal rights activist with peta). She was the perfect match for the abc's drum or q&a. How could somewone with such diversity do such monstrous things?
