Why are they outside without the protection of you, the Alpha, Mr Saddler. I feel sorry for your dogs, sir, because you are their guardians and you have chosen to let them fend for themselves, whereby they obviously can not, hence the wolf attack. Tell me why you desire to live in a land with predators. Did you not know that wolves,bears,coyotes, even foxes will kill domestic animals? Is this a surprise to you Mr.Saddler? If you made this choice to live amongst the wild, why are you whining so? Its like you want to have it all. You liked the wolves at one time and now you know first hand of their danger. Now you whine like a baby. Give us all a break. You don't like your neighborhood... then move. Wolves wanna eat your dogs, protect your dogs. You want someone to blame? Blame yourself. This is not a perfect world and life is not safe. Get over it, quit your cry baby attitude and either accept life as it is and respect it for what it is. We live on a large farm, we have coyotes and feral dogs everywhere. They have killed my pets and several small goats. Do I shoot them? Do I trap them? Do I kill every coyote/stray dog I see? Do I whine and cry about my loss? No I don't. I expect as a farmer, a breeder, a landowner, and a guardian of the animals that I own, that it is a given fact that I will suffer a loss at some point. I expect it. I know thats the price we pay for living in a remote area. I expect predators. Its part of life and its part of being in business. If you made doughnuts for a living Mr.Saddler, would you shoot anyone that stole a dozen from you? Or would you apply it as shrinkage? Would you change your operations to defer the thieving or just shoot to kill, thinking you'll eventually kill everything that threatens your doughnut business? You want a perfect world? Then I suggest you save your money and get on one of the first shuttles to the moon, cause thats the only place right now, that you can have it your own way. Sorry for your dog's injuries, keep your dog with you, if it bothers you so much.
