There's no justification for shooting animals that are just passing through one's yard, though.
Someone on my road lets a pack of beagles run around to hunt things, and they're extremely loud and obnoxious. Still, I don't shoot them. Neighbors' cats come into my yard to fight my old cat and steal his food. Still, I don't shoot them. An evil raccoon comes around, occasionally, and hisses at anyone who looks at it (it also tries to steal my cat's food). Still, I don't shoot it. I didn't shoot any of the birds that terrorized mom and Tiki, and I didn't shoot my neighbor's rooster that chased Tiki and me like it wanted to kill us.
So, I can't, for the life of me, understand why someone would brutally murder a dog while it's walking home. Gypsy stumbled home even after she was shot and died in my yard. Sad.
