dutch shepherd on a sheep killing rampage in the south of ireland

hes been shot already but it didnt seem to phase him as hes still on the loose.
i have a bit of an issue with the fact that when they shot him and presumed he would be down in a ditch, they went with the intent to "finish him off" instead of take what they thought would be an injured/crippled dog for urgent medical treatment.

i recall the breeder i got demon from mentioning they had another home in the same county this is taking place and there are only so many dutch shepherds on this island, but i cant point fingers who knows where this DS came from.

no sign of an owner trying to rescue or claim him as far as ive read? hopefull he'll be captured alive but it looks doubtful with so many farmers looking for him. if they end up killing him he'll have a microchip and theyll know who owns him and is responsible for the cost of the dead sheep, so if he belonged to me id just say so now and try get him home alive instead of waiting for someone to come knocking at my door.

At least he got to run free like a wolf for a while. Shows what they will become once let loose without restrictions.
