    Well the 'guard dogs' were a pair of Jack Russells considerably smaller than the pup (a chocolate lab) so I think they would have had a hard time killing it even if they wanted to ;) but yes, I expect we would have been well within our rights to do that. The dog was just a playful pup who had not been taught boundaries and was not on a lead so it is the owner who I think is an absolute idiot to dare think that her dog is free to run around chasing poultry. If she does not train her dog and does not keep it under control she probably will eventually end up with a dead dog on her hands when it runs under a car, gets shot by one of the gamekeepers or attacked and killed by a farm dog. If it has no qualms bounding onto people's property it could even end up knocking down a child and even if it does not mean any harm it could still hurt a small child and end up on death row.

    Dog doo used to be the worst thing about cycling to work, join the canal and you have to dodge it for a good 100 metres.

    One rule for cats, another dogs.

    Discrimination against dogs IMO. :D

    Cats (usually) bury their own waste, or like mine, come home to have a C**P! :D

    yes they use to bury it in my veg patch and in summer we have the wonderful scent of cat p*** directly outside the front of my house
    when in the woods the only dog poo unable to pick up are the runny ones when they can be buried with leaves etc
    :cool: Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.
    Sometimes age just shows up all by itself ;)

    In the end, it's not the years in your life
    that count....it's the life in your years :D

    Same here, with have raised beds so that cats must see this as a new luxury toilet.

    I went out one day to see all my little seedlings churned up and wondered what had done that, a bird maybe, a squirrel, no a cat had a massive poo and tried to bury it. :D

    Dogs get blamed for so much, I bet a lot of the time it is actually cats that have done their business and not buried it. :rotfl:
