1. so what if the dog was one of those dogs that lives across the street and just barks and barks and barks and barks. if it were, and it took her 2-3 hours the finally decide, "oh, i should probably bring the dog back in." shame on her. i'm not saying this is the case, but it could be we dont know....i'm also not implying that this would justify rippin the dogs head off, but ugh, i sure would think about doing it....lots. FYI: i've had one of these dogs living behind me now for 2yrs, so i'm just trying to look at it from another angle.
anyhow, point 2: i had a buddy growing up (this is way out in the boonies) who's father would literally, grab a stray cat that was on his property, and take it out back and cut it's head off with a garden hoe...he saw them as pests
so, i guess i'm just trying to say this: we dont know if she was one of those horrible pet owners, not that it would justify the killing, but we also dont know if the dog was a 'pest' on someone's land..of course, sending it's head back in box is a wee-bit extreme, but i bet she won't let this new dog wander around the neighborhood unsupervised barking up a storm
