Nobody should be shooting dogs! I hope they find the POS that killed this poor dog. Condolences to his owner.
Maybe they should stop using hunting dogs
I’ve seen so much hunting dog abuse all my life! They need to do away with it…
Find the POS and put it in front of a firing squad!
People who would do that need their fingers removed.
I like this crowd. Wish some of us could get elected to office ! We’d pass some tough legislation…an eye for an eye! Wish the cruelty would end. So sad.
find the mother fucker and shoot him
Y todo por esa estupidéz de supuesto deporte llamado caza. No hay necesidad de asesinar animales por diversión y no había necesidad de que la perrita saliera lastimada si se hubiese quedado en casa.
I thought it was an accident but the shooter has been caught. It was intentional!
Its so sad and cruel !!!! Why are people so Eviil??? Punish hard! !!!
RIP sweetie.
