Dogs that kill livestock or attack humans are specifically addressed by the law. Anyone has the right to defend themselves & the owner of the dog is liable for damages.

I have hunted all over the state of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas & Louisiana without encountering a single feral dog. My opinion is most dogs will starve in the wild. Their hunting skills are not sufficient to survive. If the dog is healthy then someone is feeding it.

My problem isn't with putting starving dogs out of their misery or defending self & livestock. My problem is there is always some douche canoe in these threads that is going to kill any dog that "messes up my hunt". That club or individual is asking for trouble.
