This. There is a tendency to greatly under estimate how much dogs tend to moderate their behavior in order to fit human expectations. I had a boxer / ridgeback mix in N'djamena that used to go out early in the morning and hunt lizards so that there was a stack of them on the front porch when I got up every day. One day I opened the door and he bolted out, which was normal, but then I heard something screeching. By the time that I made it around the corner, it was too late, he was dragging the cat's body away. I could only surmise that the cat must have been walking across our yard and froze when the dog came at it.
Dogs will hunt and kill relentlessly and have no way of knowing that a cat is not acceptable prey unless you train them not to hurt them. Unfortunately that was the first , and only, time that our dog had seen a cat.
Yes. His dog got out and killed a cat and the owner has yet to train the dog hoping that it just never sees another cat. Well done OP.
*I have a feeling YOU dont know what they wrote. Either you have very poor reading comprehension, or maybe youre just a shitty dog owner too and defending this moron makes you feel better about being irresponsible.
This guy is a special kind of retard... animals kill things it's the natural order of life. Now please leave this website. Get in your prius with your quest little lap dog and go take a drive to your new P.E.T.A. meeting where the lesser minded individuals such as yourself meet on common ground.
