I know this is a TN related story but a little known fact is Kentucky ranks at the bottom of the heap as far as animal cruelty laws. Yep ranked 50th


Another story.

I hate people that are cruel to animals. I'd like to see Bubba be cruel to them after they are thrown in jail.

I got a buddy that weighs 258lbs and really isn't fat. Got about a half can of mean in him sometimes to. He broke his neighbor from kicking his pretty sheppard all the time.

He told him out in the back yards across the fence one day after he had seen enough that if he didn't quit kicking that dog in his stomach and head that he was gonna come over the fence and kick him some. After some tense moments it calmed down, About three days later the guy asked him if he was serious the other day and he said you **** right, you can't treat animals like that and if you don't want that pretty dog let me have him. The guy quit doing that stuff to the dog and thanked my buddy eventually in the end for showing him the errors of his ways.

Good story.....Mark he was prolly saying thanks for not stomping me in the ground!!!
I never had to get "red" on anyone but have talked a few folks into better ways of teaching dogs. Got one guy to read the Dog Whisperer book and he has a much different approach on how to see dogs as dogs not humans. Once people realize that they actually have a dog that has to have a leader who they respect and look to for survival they really do become a great companion.

Yea Don this is very out of character for this guy because he's very easy going. That is how I knew it had to be bad or he wouldn't have done that.

A little physical scolding isn't bad with a dog once and awhile but there is a right and a wrong way to do it..

Yup, same with kids, as I think Elwood said, firm, fair and consistent.

Good time for a thread like this.

How do y'all feel about coyotes?

I was in the back yard with my daughter's little Jack Russell/Poodle puppy last night about dark. She was just running around having a good time when 2 German Shepard sized coyotes came loping across the yard headed for the woods.

One turned, lowered it's head and made a beeline for the little dog. I ran straight at it hollering at the top of my lungs, and it turned away about 20 feet from snapping up a quick meal.

My first inclination is to do some backyard still hunting with a long gun. Haven't hunted since I was a teenager, and don't relish the idea of shooting anything, but I just can't have coyotes coming up in the yard.

The way I got it figured 2 or more of them together is fatal to anything small, and dangerous to anything medium sized that happens to be in the yard.

Last couple of years I've heard a pack of them at night in the woods behind, and out the fields in front of the house. Godawful racket that makes my hackles rise.

Prolly wouldn't have to nail but one or 2, and they'd stay away (I hope).

Is it legal to shoot coyotes? Am I over reacting? Anybody else dealt with something like this?

Looks like I'm trying to hijack your thread. Sorry.

I'll start another one.

I like animals. I dont hunt anymore, I'm not against it,just dont do it nanymore.My pet, be it a dog, or cat, depends on me to look after it.If a coyote or bob cat present, I feel it would be a danger to my pet, and I do have the right to protect my property.I also think some people should NOT be allowed to own animals, of any kind.We were given domimion over some animals, dominion does not mean abuse.

No need, I'll tie the 2 together. Not protecting your pets, I think, would be a form of cruelty to them. The tread raises a good point. Protecting the welfare of your pets doesn't make you cruel for sending a coyote to the promised land. And I think a good clean kill shot is far more humane then a trap.

I don't hunt, not an animal rights thing, just don't like doing all the walking and freezing my butt off. But or Butt........If a predator of any type hits my back yard, I'm turning Rambo on it.

Hey Jim, I'm just seeing this and here's my direct gut anwser then I will explain.

''Whack'em Pack'em and Stack'em''............Ted Nugent. I wish it was mine...

They have no natural predators in the state except occassionally domestic dogs get the better of an individual Yote. They will prey on your pets Jim. That is becoming a serious problem. Here in the county numerous incidents have happened including one lady watching her little Yorkie gte snatched right by the steps of their deck while she watched through the kitchen window doing dishes. They are multiplying with staggering numbers.

They are a unprotected ''Varmit'' species. Jim get your rifle's ready and take them out around your house you are perfectly legal to do so and the department encourages it, albet silently. Bust'em Jim, take'em out....

If they are seen on our farm we hunt and they are in range they go ''Horizontal''
