The dog was killing chickens. It’s fairly obvious that no one here grew up anywhere but in the suburbs or inner city. We had to put a dog down when I was a kid for the same reason.
Wasnt the dog still being trained as a hunting dog, for pheasants or other wild fowl? Only a few months old? Weren’t the chickens in an environment the dog wasnt used to?
Seems like a failure of the person training them, not of the dog itself. Both a failure in training as well as in keeping them properly secured in a situation that could have proved dangerous.
I also grew up rural. If a dog killed chickens, the dog would be separated and retrained. If you have to kill the dog because it’s not trained properly, it’s a personal failing of the owner. Take the Personal Responsibility that you types so cherish.
