[QUOTE="MKP777, post: 2847274, member: 114383"] The porcupines are pretty hard on dogs. This is why I don't let the dogs off leash. At all. I live rural and we have all sorts of serious wild life that will mess a dog up but good. Including Skunks! But the problem is, some of the folks in my area put their dogs out in the yard or on a chain all day and all night and the dang things just bark their fool heads off. All night. I think that is just a form of baiting wildlife. Something big like a cougar is gonna come along and kill that dog. That or wolves. Bring the dog inside at night, lets have some peace from the incessant all night barking. I think its just low class leaving a dog out like that all day and all night. They must think the dog barking all night drives away wildlife. I don't believe it does. At night our chickens go into their coop, I then shut the gate and they're quiet all night. Only coyotes pose a problem. Cougars and wolves seem to not mess with my chickens at all. I don't know why but I'm glad. Dogs can be serious noise pollution. Barking all day. I just think its cruel to not let the dog in the house, it wants to be next to its 'pack'. We had friends over once that drove out from far away, as soon as they pulled up they let their dog loose. It ran and ran. It took them hours to get that dog back. I asked them if their dog has encountered rattlesnakes before. They replied, "oh there's rattlesnakes here"? They just don't think. I told them before they came out, very serious wildlife here. Dogs must be controlled. Didn't listen. Luckily nothing happened to their dog but sometimes folks have dogs that get out of the fence, run off to explore and never seen again. We had a Mastiff and he was surrounded by coyotes once. They fixn to mess him up and they ran when I came out. The coyotes know about guns. I see a lot of dog irresponsibility around here. [/QUOTE]
