What to do with dog?

theg81der · 30-01-2012 08:53PM

Its your fault he wasn`t properly supervised, why would you shoot the dog! He`s a dog if you knew there was kittens in there you deserve a good kickin!

johnr1 · 30-01-2012 08:54PM

Strangle the dog, shoot your brother, then shoot yourself in the leg. Put pawprints on the gun and blame the dog for it all.

Otherwise neuter the fcuking cat so it doesent happen again.

for ****s sake, what's wrong with you!? first, do you know that the dog killed the kittens? second, what will killing the dog do!? Nothing only upset your parents presumably.

use your ****ing head will you!

The old man said to use my own discretion.

Do you usually consider killing animals when they disappoint you?

Reminds me of this guy.

Salt001 · 30-01-2012 08:55PM

I very much doubt that your dog can tell the difference between rats and kittens,you would be quite happy if he had come back with a dead rat in his mouth.
The dog thought he was doing the right thing,you gave him a kick in the arse and locked him up.
Let him out again and keep an eye on the barn or whatever for cats and kittens and remove to a place of safety.

Wont somebody please think of the kittens!

You probably have that dog playing those Grand Theft Auto and those Modern Warfare games.

He'll be killing other dogs yet just you wait and see. Whoo boy !

So the parents have gone away on holiday for a week leaving me and the brother to mind the house and feed the cattle. Myself and the brother decided amongst the two of us that it would be best if we alternated the days that we fed them.

Today was my day to feed them so as soon as I arrived home from college I proceeded down to the shed, as per usual the dog followed me. As I went about my business in the shed the dog ran off into the straw shed, I thought to myself that's good maybe he'll catch a couple of rats.

About ten minutes into the feeding of the cattle the dog ran over to me with a dead kitten in his mouth, I immediately grabbed the kitten from his mouth but it was already dead. I gave the dog a good kick then went over to the straw shed for a look. What I saw was quite sickening, the dog had killed three other kittens.

The dog is currently on death row so to speak I have him tied up in an empty shed (this should be like prison to him as he's always allowed to run around the place with the other dog). I rang the old man asking him what to do with the dog and he said to and I quote "use you're own discretion".

I was going to shoot him straight away but the brother said to think about it over night. I then got the idea to post it here to see what other people think I should do.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sorry forgot to add that this isn't his first offence, last year he killed another batch of cats

Good dog!:)

could have been a mink that killed the cats,happened here a few months back,troaths ripped open,never seen a dog to kill a few together,only ever seen em chase to kill.

They were only a couple of days old so they couldn't have ran away. Another thing they were still bleeding and there was blood all over the floor and the dog, wouldn't a mink suck all the blood out of them?

Cantona's Collars · 30-01-2012 08:59PM

Don't worry about it,dogs do those sort of things.Took my father's dogs out for a walk recently and they did the same.It's just nature.
Even other tomcats will kill kittens.

Dogs will kill stuff as quickly as possible,cats are cruel-they toy with their prey.The kittens were dead in seconds.

I'd forget about it,bet the folks didn't even know there were kittens in the shed.

its a dogs nature to kill cats!! leave him be...

if he turns to sheep its a diffrent story ...but not for kittens!!

What's this predjudice against kittens?

If you prick them, do they not bleed? If you tickle them, do they not laugh? If you poison them, do they not die? And if you wrong them, do they not REVENGE?!

Napper Hawkins · 30-01-2012 09:00PM

Hey OP, while you're at it you should turn the gun on yourself.

First off I am an ex member of the SPCA and there is NO NEED TO KICK THE DOG. He is a dog some dogs don't like cats. If you are worried about him attacking kittens that set up shop in your sheds you find the dog a new home. You don't leave him tied up with thoughts of shooting him because of his natural instinct. Contact your local SPCA and hand him in. YOU DO NOT SHOOT THE ANIMAL BECAUSE OF ITS NATURAL INSTINCT. My dogs have killed numours cats that wander into my garden but I don't want to kill them for it. Its the same thing with your dog. The farm is the dogs home and if there is cats around you can't blame him.

You're thinking of vampires.

Was the dog socialised with the kittens until it got used to them and was friendly with them?

If not, why in hell are you surprised and why do think the dog should be punished?
I'll reiterate that "solitary confinement" is pointless and cruel as the dog doesn't associate it with its "crime."

so why would your father say it's at your discretion, if it's your dog?

I know of a farmer too and if the dog doesn't do what its told the farmer gives him a hard kick. When I heard that I wanted to thump the head of the farmer.

admiralofthefleet · 30-01-2012 09:03PM

pat him on the head and reward him for getting rid of the mangy felines

TheZohanS · 30-01-2012 09:05PM

Hey OP I have some unwanted kittens, will you do me a favour?

Sindri · 30-01-2012 09:05PM

My dog has killed plenty of rabbits recently, I don't like him doing it, but it's what he does.

He is a predator, he feels hunger, he is also a territorial animal. If you didn't now dogs were like this then why the **** do you have one, or are even utilising one as presumably a sheep dog?

patwicklow · 30-01-2012 09:06PM

Any dog would kill kittens if they were let and it seems it was let.
now you have the dog tied up in a shed? there is a law in place for being cruel to animals,so treat the dog as you would like to be treated,

The King of Moo · 30-01-2012 09:06PM

I'm starting to think that the worst creature we're dealing with here is a troll.

Surely someone who lives on a farm has a better understanding of animals!

Salt001 · 30-01-2012 09:06PM

Poor dog doesn't even know what he has done that was wrong.
Not that I think its a good thing that the kittens were killed,its just that you really can't blame the dog .

Alright, I bought the dog 4 years ago at a fair, strictly speaking he's a family pet but the family and I refer to him as my dog

and he said it's at your discretion what you do with him, as in he expected a situation to arise with the dog in which you'd have to made a life or death decision? hmmm

Temptamperu · 30-01-2012 09:10PM

And they let you look after livestock? This troubles me most of all.

Seren_ · 30-01-2012 09:10PM

Are you sure it was the dog that killed the kittens? Sometimes the mother cat will do it if she thinks they're weak or if she doesn't have enough milk.

What to do with dog?
