The act was
legal in accordance to the livestock act that states if an animal is running loose and attacking or viciously pursuing other animals a farmer may terminate it.
The Jenkins family though would like some answers on the matter. Their pets took off on Thursday and apparently ended up on the farmer's property. The family is curious to know how the farmer could think their pets who in their words won't hit a fly were considered to be dangerous by the farmer.
"A Golden retriever is a far cry from a coyote or a groundhog," said John Jenkins, the dogs' owner. "These are family pets, this impacts people's lives."
The family thinks that the farmer should have called animal control and are demanding to know the name of the one responsible for their pets demise.
