Farmers definately shoot dogs, seen a farmer Mr C at Pigdon Northumberland shoot a dog with a 243, the dog ran around the field for ages with its bottom jaw hanging off, before another shot finished it off, a gamekeeper also from Northumberland Cristen Bank near Seahouses Mr DB shot double figures of dogs, and a lad Mr A in Bedlington Northumberland got shot in the leg with a .22 rim fire while out on the land with his dog, and the farmer got off with it..in this country the more money you have the more justice you get, and farmers usually have a lot more in their bank accounts than Mr Lurcher
