kelpiegirl Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 What the HE double hockey sticks, is going on, when people think it is OKAY to have their dogs chase someone's livestock??? I have seen an increasing number of videos of either pet dogs, or people chasing sheep just because it's fun. NOT their sheep either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbc1963 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Knuckleheads. I suggest serious comments be added. It might help someone think twice about this sort of thing. Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura L Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I posted 2 comments and they're still up. The guy doesn't sound like he has a clue about dogs or livestock. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPSY Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just another reason why stupid people shouldnt breed.... Unfortunatey there are alot of people who think sheep are meant to be chased by dogs and its natural . Some people think that its a dogs instinct to chase other animals and its Ok. They must think that the sheep will be fine , that they are only running around and getting exercise with the dog. I can only hope once the people read the remarks , their feelings about this will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnewe2 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 THen I guess it'd be ok if a cougar chased him? It's natural and intstinctual for the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura L Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 After googling Mitch Currie if he's the one with the MySpace page-looks like he's 16 and lives in Australia. What are Australia's laws about sheep and grazing on public lands? No cougars to chase him there but a crocodile might do it if he were near the water.

DeltaBluez Tess Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I posted my reply >>>I had someone's pet dog come on my farm and do exactly what your dog did. He killed a good portion of my flock and injured many more. . The injured sheep had to be put down. The dog then went to the neighbors to "play" with his calves and turkeys. The dog was shot. If your dog was doing this to my sheep, regardless if they were on my farm or a public land, I would shoot him. Then I would take you to court for damages to my livestock.<<< Guess I won't be on his Christmas card lit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I hope the video stays up with all the comments so that it can educate other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurae Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 The guy who posted the video keeps deleting most of the "negative" comments. He deleted mine a long time ago, and there were about eight before his first comment and then about eight more before his second comment. Not sure why he keeps a few up there (I suspect he's been offline for a little while), but a lot of the comments have been deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCStarkey Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hello everyone, Can't the video be flagged so that it will be removed? Regards, nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancy Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I suspect Australia's grazing laws are similar to those in England. Which means that yob has no rights to let his dog run wild. And here's what happens when folks do: http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/local-west-...86081-25841600/ I wouldn't shoot the dog - he's retrainable. I'd shoot the yobs.

desertranger Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Instead of letting their dogs run wild they should be teaching them control and herding. As for those two yobbos I would turn them loose naked on the hillside and let the dogs chase them for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiegirl Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 So.... should I, or will you? exactly my thoughts, Nancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCStarkey Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have already flagged the video, and I received a "Thank you for reporting inappropriate videos" note from YouTube. However, I imagine that it will take more than one flag to have the video pulled. Regards, nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's apparently left some, but deleted a bunch. Mine was up for a little while yesterday, then removed. I saw several others that I recognized as being from board members that have been removed, too. Whatever. Dude's an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagRam Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 I posted my reply >>>I had someone's pet dog come on my farm and do exactly what your dog did.

Diane I do not know what the law is in Washington although I suspect it is similar, but in California Food and Agricultural Code Section 31103 specifically provides that "any dog entering any enclosed or unenclosed property upon which livestock or poultry are confined may be seized or killed by the owner or tenant of the property or by any employee of the owner or tenant. No action, civil or criminal, shall be maintained against the owner, tenant, or employee for the seizure or killing of such dog." This statute has been held to mean that the sheep rancher or his employees have an absolute privilege to shoot or kill the dog that comes on their property without permission and cannot be sued. the dog does not even have to be "chasing" or "worrying" (although there is a separate code section which authorizes anyone to shoot a dog doing that). Apparently some counties in California hand out posters to ranchers so they can post warnings. The specific case is Katsaris v. Cook 225 Cal. Rptr 531 from 1986.

RoseAmy Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 As someone who has a ram that was just seriously mauled by a neighbors dog I can certainly add that I don't find the clip amusing. The sad part is I don't think any comments left by us will changed the young man's mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelliePup Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Here's my reply based off his last message: The road to solving the bigger issues starts with the individual. That individual must have integrity and respect for other living things in order to be productive to change the world. It saddens me that you, hamy007, cannot see that, and can demonstrate in a mere 10 seconds the depths of your ignorance. I'll flag it as well.

nancy Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I finally got to sign in on YouTube to flag the @#$%^7ed thing. But I can't figure how to do so. I can click on "flag" and sign in. But then I get a whole bunch of topics that are irrelevant. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
