A Merryville canine proprietor sought revenge by fatally capturing a canine after it allegedly attacked his canine final week. So, we requested Legal Analyst Franz Borghardt is it authorized to shoot one other canine in one other person’s yard if it attacked yours?
“It’s probably aggravated cruelty to an animal which carries a mandatory minimum of one year in prison. It’s probably an unauthorized entry of a dwelling depending on where and when. It’s definitely trespass to property.”
Borghardt says the proprietor of the labrador (primary) noticed the person enter her yard earlier than gunfire rang out. He says the state’s statue of cruelty to animals prohibits a person from injuring any animal belonging to a different person.
“We love marvel movies. We don’t like people acting like marvel heroes on their own. His responsibility would have been to call the police and report the incident and then let them deal with secondary dog who may or may not have attacked dog number one.”
Boghardt says if the proprietor felt he needed to rescue his canine from the larbrador, he ought to have taken a distinct strategy to deal with the state of affairs. The proprietor of the labrador can search restitution or legal fees.
“The damages caused by dog number two to dog number one can be sought in criminal or civil court.”
Authorities are conducting a legal investigation into the capturing of the Labrador.
