Again dealing with the "law" here is hard to make general rules. If someone shoots your dog and you are there I have to assume they still have the gun in their hand? At that point they are threatening you with that gun? Now if they shoot your dog, toss the gun, you chase them down and shoot them? Probably not going to go well.This brings up an interesting question. Is it legal to use lethal force to protect an animal?
If someone comes on your property and shoots your dog, they've shown the willingness to kill and it's reasonable to consider your own life in danger and react accordingly.
On the other hand, if they've shot your dog, but are clearly and demonstrably not threatening you when you shoot them, I think you'd better hope the jury is full of dog lovers, or you'll be spending the rest of your days in prison for murder.

The remaining 1% is an awful lot of people. I think I'd have to go up to 99.9999 at leastI value my dog's life over 99% of the human population.
Exactly. My point is just that I've seen many, many posts over the years on gun forums, along the lines of, "Anyone messes with my dog, I'll shoot 'em!"Again dealing with the "law" here is hard to make general rules.

^^^Judging from the comment here and in the OP article ,that shouldn't be a problem.This brings up an interesting question. Is it legal to use lethal force to protect an animal?

In WA pets are considered property.This brings up an interesting question. Is it legal to use lethal force to protect an animal?
with what we know him being in his house and shooting the dog, he has used deadly force, and you can as well in defense of yourself and family dog or human, i think the laws protecting dogs now days are fairly equal to human. its legal to break into a car in the heat for a animal and you can be arrested fined and jail for abuse.^^^Judging from the comment here and in the OP article ,that shouldn't be a problem.
My question is do I have to actually wait until the prick shoots my dog or can I just skip that step and blast him? The way I look at someone comes onto my property/into my home and displays a deadly weapon in any threating manner, my own deadly weapon is coming out and if it is not met with instantaneous compliance there WILL BE immediate repercussions. I'm not waiting to get shot by some thieving crackhead, nor will I allow it to my dog or family if at all humanly possible.
He's lucky he didn't shoot my dog..Homeowner fires back after accused burglar shoots his dog, Texas police say
The accused burglar was later found near an intersection “yelling for help,” police said.www.yahoo.com

plus i love my dogs. Mine passed a year and a half ago(he was 13), but a guarantee you this some scum bag shots my dog, i promise you he wont get out of my yard or home alive. that i promise you. I may have enough ammo to turn him into fertilizer bits to never be seen again.. lol
I had to look that one up, very sad. I don't understand a person who would do that to someone's pet.Ask Marcus what happens when you shoot his dog!
Real simple… he shot my dog , then pointed his gun at me.This brings up an interesting question. Is it legal to use lethal force to protect an animal?

It's very reasonable (in my opinion) to assume that someone who's shot your dog presents an immediate threat to human life, but like Alexx1401 said above, if they then drop the gun and start to leave when you shoot them, you'd better be prepared to face a charge of murder.Real simple… he shot my dog , then pointed his gun at me.
FIFYReal simple… heshot my dog , thenpointed his gun at me.
Bending the truth or embellishing a story to make it funny or more dramatic , is understandable and can be a valuable trait or skill to have.Real simple… he shot my dog , then pointed his gun at me.
The US Constitution applies to practices used in the United States. It may be usual elsewhere, but it is not usual here. Thus, the prohibition applies.Cruel and unusual punishment NOW lets think about that in the following countrys you can loose a hand for theft Brunei, Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Seems like its usual in some places! As to the cruel part ok sure I'll give you that but maybe for a 3rd or fourth offense.
