Thought about this over the weekend[my having an agenda of sorts] and I suppose the fellow from down under has a point, I do have an agenda.
30 odd years ago, my wife and I had a Labrador Retriever[our first]. When he was maybe 2-1/2 he came up missing. We lived pretty deep in the woods on a private road off of a pig path type county road. We searched and searched for that dog. We had heard of some youngsters that had shot a cow[bow] off the side of the road a few miles away. Also that these boys had been seen dragging a dead dog[not ours] in town behind a truck. A school bus driver saw one of our flyers, called and said to check about a mile on down the road, "that he had seen what looked like a black dog over the bank".
I found the dog, arrow still in him, and he was 'drug' down the road!
The boys confessed, thought he was a bear or a raccoon, weren't sure......this while one rides in the bed of the truck with bow.
They also confessed to the cow and multiple other items similar.

So yeah, I hate a m'fer that will kill anyone's pet for no good reason.
