It would have been better for him if he took the dog back to the owners and then told them what the dog did. Any other thoughts?

That's in Australia it's pretty fair, next. It's kinda like the wild west there still.

An eye for an eye?

Bad situation

Fairly typical course of action when it comes to rural folk dealing with neighbor pets gone rogue.

Chickens are still livestock.
People get pissed when their livestock gets destroyed out of the blue by a stray domestic animal.

To farmers, a wandering neighbor's dog that preys on livestock is no better than a hungry coyote. And legally, the law is usually on their side in such cases. So bang bang...

My uncle had a dog that broke loose and killed a chicken. The dog ended up going to jail because animal control didn't have a big enough cage for him.
---

Drowning the dog is going overboard. A chickens life is worth more than a dogs, it gives you eggs/food or money by selling them, after awhile you can even eat the chicken.
---

While I support wouldn't shooting the dog, if he was in the process of killing something. That would be understandable, to protect your livelihood and such. But this dude beat and drown the dog. That is just anger and payback. That isn't justice.
---

Well it is justice. It's just the old fashioned dark side of it.

Of course that's also relative to interpretation, since not everyone in the world gives a shit about one more dead dog like Western culture tends to.
---

The court also heard Findlay made personal threats to Ms Grealy after he was charged.

This is clearly a case of someone going way too far. Not only did he intentionally cause the dog to suffer, he actually struck out at the other family when he was charged by the authorities. At the very least he has some serious anger issues.

If your dog is wild enough that it kills other people's pets/livestock, the authorities will usually put it down anyway. Sad situation all around.
---

Death penalty. Or better yet, send him my way. I'd give him a nightmare he'd never wake up from.
---

There was a story on Fear thy Neighbor was a guy got mad because his neighbor's dogs were barking, so he killed all his neighbor's dogs then piled the carcasses and burned them in front of his neighbor's front porch

Both people involved are shit. The dog killer is worse though.

First of all, secure your dog! If you have a dog that kills livestock it's an obvious thing. Also, the dog owner's entitlement is silly: 'oh! you should have sent me a note!' 'oh! Dogs will be dogs!'.

Having said that, that psycho who killed the dog needs to be locked up, what a piece of shit.

All he will get is an animal cruelty charge.

I'm disappointed that Kerry is walking free after this.

Dog should be put down, but drowning it is barbaric as hell, damn bogans.

I grew up with chickens and shitty neighbors and their shitty dogs, so I don't care that the dog was put down but drowning it like a psycho is unacceptable.
---

...........that's pretty fucked. I mean you've got to be fucked in the head to slowly drown something to death. Just shoot the damn dog and bury it without telling anyone.

I mean, dogs generally just kill chickens unless they're used to being around them and taught not to(and still even then). It's just in their nature.
---

I'd be more sympathetic if he didn't kill it in such a cruel way as well as the fact that he actually called authorities and then killed it before they could even get there

I hate those kinds of people more than anything. Like, Im not exaggerating when I say hate. I hate hate hate. This is so stupid, barbaric, cowardly, cruel. Someone who kills animals for no reason is the lowest scum of the Earth. I have no idea how someone can do something like this to a vulnerable, weaker being.

He did have a reason..........

I feel like the cruelty of the method is the biggest issue here

Yeah, he had no reason to drown the dog, in specific. Drowning is one of the most painful deaths there are. This is completely fucked up.

This. Dogs that have killed livestock once will do it again and again, but putting down the dog should be done through proper channels, not vigilante-style.

that is messed up because the loss isn't the same on both sides

on one side you have a man who lost a chicken that didn't even have a name, and it was just property. he was gonna sell it or eat it. or sell or eat it's eggs.

on the other side, you have a family that lost their pet. a member of their family that they had emotional attachment to.

he went too far. I say kill him

did it end with the dog owner killing him? cause I would lose my sanity if someone did that to my pets. I wouldn't even care what happens to me after that

Should have just shot, shoveled, and shut up.

I read that as children at first and was like fair next.

and all it cost him was $1000
---

Only cops have guns in Aussie, so neighbors tend to go nuts because wtf they gonna do
---

That's pretty fucked to drown someone's dog, they should give him a psychiatric evaluation.

who are you to say how much he does or doesn't care for his chickens?

doesn't matter. even if he loves his chickens, he murdered someone else's pet which makes him a hypocrite then

I farm and have livestock, I don't hesitate to take out possums, coyotes, raccoons, bobcats, etc that threaten my animals. It's part of the territory, but I don't think I could bring myself to shoot a dog unless it was aggressive towards me or other people and has no collar or identification. I can replace a chicken or a turkey to spare a neighbor's pet.
---

Depends on how many chickens were brutally massacred which the article doesnt mention.

I believe chickens have a certain degree of intelligence to feel fear and pain.

Maybe the dog killed a lot to enrage the farmer to such a point. If it was just one chicken, I doubt anyone would kill a dog over one chicken.

I have heard of Kangaroos drowning dogs there.

Should just told the owner that your dog killed my chicken/s and you owe me money, and the next time he will attack the dog.

step 1: Lock dog in the chicken shack, call owner, make him come pick up his dog and tell him he is cleaning the chicken blood from my shack. Tell him that next time the pound is receiving a phone call.

Step 2: If the dog does it again, repeat step # 1, tell the owner AGAIN that you will call the dog pound.

step 3: If the dog does it again, lock him up in the chicken shack again and call the pound. Bye bye dog.

Trust me, it's not a joke. At all. I've dreamt of ways to hurt people like this my whole life. Like, actively planned their torture. I have sheets from when I was younger detailing all the different methods with a monthly schedule for them.

Then you deserve to be on the fbi watch list. We dont want freaks like you to suddenly snap and go around killing people. Just read again what you just said. You fucking psychopath.

If he'd shot the dog in defense of his property, the law probably would have been on his side. However, he beat and drowned this dog out of revenge, even pulled out the old 'eye for an eye' adage, and that's not okay. Plus he was threatening the dog's owner.

Also if the dog got in, that means the chicken coop was not secure. Any number of animals could have gotten in and done the same thing, so it kinda strikes me as his fault tbqh

Goggalor, you have BPD, correct?

Almost every person with BPD I've met has been furiously defensive when it comes to their pets (dogs and cats mainly).
Not exactly scientific, just saying - story kinda irks me as well.

I do have BPD, yes. Borderline personality disorder. And I am very, very protective of my dogs.
