Chicken owner shoots dog

A man has shot dead one of two dogs he caught attacking his chickens.

Kapiti Coast District Council spokesman Tony Cronin said the Paraparaumu home owner returned from work about 6.45pm on Thursday to find a bulldog and a pit bull-cross savaging a chicken.

Detective Sergeant James McKay said: "A lot of other chickens had been torn apart as well."

The man chased the dogs up his driveway, then grabbed a gun and shot the pit bull-cross. MORE>>

Hey, being a pit-bull, must be okay to shoot, a?!

The right to defend his stock... so they say.

    My Golden Lab puppy paired up with the Red Setter who lived across the road and together they raided a neighbours chicken coup. The second time they did it my Lab puppy was shot dead on the chicken owner's property with a shotgun.

    Lesson? Don't let your dogs roam at large. Bad things happen to them. That was 34 years ago. I have strived never to be a sh*thead dog owner since.
