Just to clarify. When you say two horses got shot this time last year by me. You mean nearby, but by somebody else.
I realise what you write after qualifies that but still.
The article is so vague it's impossible to know what the real story is. And going by how anti shooting the media is the truth may be that the dog got hit on the road and the bloke walking it didn't want to own up to the missus that he had it off the lead, so he cooked up some daft story about it getting shot.
