There's a difference between how I feel (many times towards humans, too) and what would actually be done. The dog should go to jail for animal cruelty against the chickens... but we know that won't happen, either.The Texas Animal Cruelty Law (§ 42.092) defines animal cruelty as any action or neglect that causes unnecessary pain or suffering. Animal cruelty is a felony in Texas and punishable for up to 10 years in prison, with a fine of up to $10,000.
You have no idea.Could always fortify the chicken coop.
Wow. That was last reviewed 4/2020.Maybe, but the ATF website disagrees
Big fan of crossbows. I have an Excalibur and it is point and shoot. A shot in the vitals will be lights out for Fido quicklyBut are they actually quiet? I'm actually thinking the crossbow may be worth checking out.
Bad things happen when you don't know what will eat the bait!!Steak marinated in antifreeze.....

Cyanide trap?
So are air rifles, firearms, etc.
Place the coyote trap under a chicken carcass and wait for results.
If it was out in the country, I'd WANT this dog to suffer... after the damage he did, but that's not the plan.
Two of the three you mentioned concern me. The third?Very dangerous around children, stupid adults, and non-target animals.
Yep. Euthanize the dog if necessary, but do it like a decent person. Punish the negligent "owner" by all means.Dog is just doing what dogs do when not properly cared for. No reason to torture it.
Tried a 30-35 cal PCP air rifle?Oh, that's been tried.
