If the neighbors dog is at my house and even looks at me cross eyed he'll be lucky if he gets to go home. Let alone make it to the Vet. If its yours keep it chained, tied or penned. It doesn't belong at my house and I shouldn't be asked to deal with your problem child.
1. If a dog is destroying your livestock-Fair game
2. If fido is in your yard and attacks you-"usually" fair game
3. But: if fido is in your yard and not attacking it is illegal to shoot/kill it if you know the owner. (Case in Lakeville)
4. Kill a hunting dog... you will pay for the dog, maybe even get hunter harassment charges against you, etc. In the case of the police officer who shot the local coon hounds cause they were "keeping him up" he also lost his career job!
Note last sentence: DNR investigating prized coon dog kill
