BartSimpson BartSimpson: If some guy comes onto a school with a belt-fed machine gun do you want the police to make nice or do you want them to neutralize the threat before he causes a problem? 
you really should keep away from analogies Bart they're not your forte, |

| This isn't about firearms. Had the rancher used a crossbow or a hunting knife or a rock to protect his cattle we'd still be having this same discussion. This is about a rancher protecting his herd and the mere presence of the dogs is sufficient to spook the cattle and according to Derby's story the... |

| yeah but you'd hope that if the driver could safely slow down and let your dog walk across a road they would, rather than driving over it just because they're within the law to do so That's really irrelevant to this discussion. I was pointing out that there are dangers to a pet in the city that she... |

| It's no different than having a pet in the city. I have to keep my dog on a leash or in a fenced yard. If I don't, he could get attacked by coyotes, other dogs (or a large bird, in the case of my own dog!) or hit by a car . yeah but you'd hope that if the driver could safely slow down and let your ... |

| Your point sucks. What has changed since 1920 that justifies changing this law????? the world's changed you dolt, 90 years ago a farmer could've blown away someone walking across his property and probably gotten away with it, 90 years ago folks let their dogs run loose all the time, 90 years ago th... |

| The point here is that possibly two family pets were possibly unneccesarily killed (we don't know because no one seems to want to tell the family), The police have the facts and have determined he was within the law. just because he was within the existing 1920s law doesn't mean he needed to kill t... |

| Having been around people like Ken Bell and another friend, California State Senator and rancher Rico Oller, who have had recurring problems with other people's dogs on their land I disagree and I disagree becuase you are refusing to see this from the rancher's point of view . A prize bull can be v... |

| Instead of changing the law howzabout just asking people who say that they care about their pets to actually act like they do and keep their pets in their yards? Yes, the farmer killed the dogs. But would there be any controversy had a pack of wolves killed the dogs? What if a bear killed them? Or ... |

| Then why didn't you just say "to my way of thinking"? It sounds like the case is closed. Even if the family tries to sue, I don't think they'll get very far - their dogs were loose on his property and he has the right to protect his livestock - which could include chickens. I could be wro... |

| If these Golden Retrievers were attacking or about to attack the livestock then I can just about understand how the killing might be justified but my issue is that the law seems to allow any farmer to blast away at anything from a chihuahua to a Siamese cat as long as it ventures anywhere onto their... |

| i feel sorry for Tory as he's at least trying to come up with a fair solution but in all honesty he shouldn't have touched this issue with a bargepole. The problem is extending funding upsets the majority of Onatrians who don't want public funding for religious based schools but abolishing public fu... |

If they hate us and our way of life we should stop encouraging them to come here. it really makes no sense bringing in immigrants that want to destroy our civilisation.

| That's one of the most accurate statements (on its own) made in the thread - I think, regardless of whether anyone shares the same opinion or not, that we can agree there are grounds to make each case - it's a legal matter, and is therefore subject to interpretation of the applicable laws. I've arg... |
