Violence

My home is in a very rural area in the US with no spay/neuter laws or animal control. It is also down a road that is the local traditional dumping ground for unwanted animals. We have our dogs, cats, and poultry here in a fenced area. Generally, strays can be chased off by shooting roman candles in their general direction. However, some are persistant. I’m looking for a workable alternative to feeding stubburn strays a cheeseburger before shooting the stray in the back of the head.

I cannot start fostering dogs for the same reason I cannot buy legos. It would get out of control. Also, I’d rather not burdon someone else with taking these dogs away to cage them for a few weeks before killing them.

This sucks.

    I have had to cull stray dogs that had formed packs and were harassing the livestock. You gotta do what you gotta do. If they are acting destructive enough that you can’t just leave them be then they are likely a risk to people too. It is good not to enjoy these things. I would rather shovel shit personally. Good luck.
