[QUOTE="sam_b03, post: 7951496, member: 607518"] It *****, but I don't like pawning my problems off on other people. When you don't trust a dog to not go after your neighbors kid. The liablity is too much. I grew up in town but we owned a half section with cattle. My mother loved animals so we always had random pets around the house. goats, rabbits, cats, dogs, a couple ducks. They all die sometime. enjoy the time you have with them but if they can't earn their keep or their liablity outways their benefit, you get rid of them. By earn their keep I mean you own an animal for a reason. Cattle have to have calves so you can sell them. If they don't get pregnant, sell them. Why feed them for another year when you could be giving the feed to a profitable cow. If you have a hunting dog that won't hunt, get rid of it. A pet dog for a companion needs to stick around. IF they won't stay in the fence, they aren't being your companion. Get rid of them. I put them down quick. I didn't make them suffer. I just did it myself instead of paying a vet. I don't see what the big deal is. There are plenty of dogs in the world. I had a mastiff that a dumb but sweet. My job started requiring that I work 10-16 hour days 7days week so she got lonely and wouldn't stay in the yard. I did give her to a good home. But her problem was a lack of company that could be remedied. These were just mean. I did think about giving them to a pig hunter. They would have made great kill dogs but they were too old to train to only chase pigs. They would have killed the other dogs, skunks, coons, opossiums, or cattle; basicly what ever they saw.
