When's the dog's burial? Animals like that should be reported to the authorities, and they usually require dogs that maul other animals without explanation to be put down.
For several years the local people have been leaving unwanted puppies and kittens along the road near my house. I believe this is because they have selected a point just far enough outside the city limits that they will probably not wander back into the jurisdiction of animal control. I'm not sure whether they think animal control can (theoretically) trace the critters back to their original owner or are just doing their part to keep taxes low.
But alas in the interest of "animal welfare" I once tried scooping them all up into a cardboard box and moving the box to a point inside city limits before calling animal control (pretending of course to be somebody who lived inside the line). That worked
one time and after that the pet-cops concluded that I was up to no good, so now I don't even bother trying to communicate with them.
I just let my own dogs decide how to handle the situation. Fat-asses need the exercise anyway, so they might as well go play with yonder discarded whelps. If they bring back a little friend alive, we keep it, but let's just say that's not how it
usually works. (IMG:

Tough luck, but anything's gotta be more humane than letting the little shits starve to death, right?
