Makes no sense. This needs to be stopped. :bash:

I am not for killing a person over the death of some dogs (as much as I love dogs) but because this guy is already armed when he commits his crime, any confrontation would almost certainly need to involve the threat of if not the use of lethal force.

A neighbor had a dog stolen. The thieves attempted to sell the dog and word got around that "so-and-so has a new dog that looks like your missing one..." well the thieves sealed the deal by shooting the dog and then trying to claim the reward for the missing dog.
I try not to think the worst of the possibilities for my little Beagle buddy, Hoot that has been gone since Thanksgiving.

As much as I agree with this, I'd have a hard time doing the right thing

Like the article said, it might be only a matter of time before they start shooting people. :( I hope this person get caught soon!

If you were in that area and someone was stealing your dog, it's not too much of a stretch to assume they are armed... any sense of a threat when confronting them and... down and out. :twocents:

I would think the police/people in the area would want to get LOTS of trail cameras.

Kind of strange...more than kind of. I wonder if there are explanations that aren't the weird, serial killer type killing dogs for thrills. A farmer that lost a bunch of sheep, goats or chickens? Animal control kennels filled up already? A hundred people each dumped one dog in the same spot? Dogs being used to train pit bulls for fights and then finished off with a rifle? I think the crazy weirdo version is probably most likely though.

I agree. Something very strange here and a lot of facts missing from the story. Without further reporting, I'm finding it hard to believe that this many could have been stolen from homes without coming up with a single lead. My money would be on someone shooting strays.
I know in my neighborhood, I could easily shoot 100+ "strays" a week that cross my property. I have 20-25 animals a day coming into my yard. Animal control will do nothing with these dogs (and cats) because they simply don't have room for them. I refuse to put them down due to the possible legal implications, even though most could be considered feral. It's not worth the risk. I could see how someone else would feel it worth the risk, especially if you have small children around.

They are for sure not right in the head, soft between the ears. Hope someone is lucky enough to but this animal down, one way or another. DOWN.... >:(
