    He has always bragged about shooting dogs and cats.  He said that ours were bothering his horses in a corral, but our younger one was quite a ways over in our field dead with one bullet.  Brooke, who he left to freeze after shooting her in the face was right against his fence.  He also shot a next door neighbors housecat off of the corner post of their property.  These two labs were very well behaved, and used to all kinds of farm animals, so there is no way they were doing anything but...

    He has always bragged about shooting dogs and cats.  He said that ours were bothering his horses in a corral, but our younger one was quite a ways over in our field dead with one bullet.  Brooke, who he left to freeze after shooting her in the face was right against his fence.  He also shot a next door neighbors housecat off of the corner post of their property.  These two labs were very well behaved, and used to all kinds of farm animals, so there is no way they were doing anything but looking for a rock chuck and could have crossed on to the field next to his house.  After he shot them, in the face with a shotgun, he put them by a straw stack and put some straw over them to hide them.  He took one tag off of one collar, but the other was on too good.  One deputy said it would have been legal to kill them if they were definitely causing harm to the owners animals, but that then the person was required to report it immediately and have an office observe the scene.  He definitely didn't do that.  Our problems happened almost 10 years ago, so I don't have much to go on other than that we did report it and have the vet records from all of Brookes frostbite and pellets in her face.  We have the name of a detective in Jerome who has been helpful with other animal issues, so we are going to see what he says tomorrow.  Thanks for your help.  I will get more info soon, just been trying to help Tyler and Briana cope.

What's the police doing about this? He should be prosecuted!

Andrea Brown

Unfortunately nothing at this point. The guy is hiding behind the lie, the dogs were on his property.

Jane Thompson

They spent a couple hours with my husband today and listened to what he had to say about this man's long history of situations like this. They were understanding, but said as vague as the Idaho law is on shooting to protect livestock, there wasn't much they could do. But they agreed to try their best.

Can someone PLZ shoot this piece of shit?

Ingrid Becker

Please don't feed hate even more, although I understand your feelings. I don't know what I would be capable of if someone hurt one of mine.

Andrea Cook

We need to HATE for those who have No Voices & No Choices, cuz they don't know how to Hate..They Love or Feel Fear, but Hate is an emotion they are not capable of! We have to do it for them!

if this guy is shooting innocent animals what is he really capable of?

Jeff Lynn

Maybe his inbred genes are likes as Joseph Smith and the mountain meadow massacre crew.

No reason to be shooting dogs unless they are attacking you or your family and then you can usually drive them off without killing them.

Jane Thompson

Especially if they are old house dogs like ours was...Just using that vague law as an excuse for his entertainment. We are definitely going to see if the 1890's law on this issue in Idaho can be updated.

Where is this?
