Dogs who were killing cats and ducks for survival getting second chance.

Tough situation. The dogs were shaking in fear in the kennel and it looks like they will get a second chance, after killing a cat. It was determined the dogs were on their own and had survived by killing cats and ducks. You would think this was an easy call, but looking at the dogs one of them was scared to death.

I don't know, what does everyone think? Good call? Or will they kill again?

Oh, I found a link:

Deland, Florida, it appears.

Ravina and Rusty, probably worked as a team. Well, with good owners they ought not to have any opportunities to kill anything that isn't coming onto their property.



I say they look remorseful.

Thomas argues that you wouldn't put down a cat after it ate a mouse.

Hopefully, they will be taken in by a rescue group.

I don't know if it's true. I would be inclined to say keep them alive, they were only tying to survive. But, make sure they go to homes with no other small pets and people are aware of their previous need to kill in order to survive.

What I'd really like to say is where is the POS human who abandoned them to their own devices?
