I keep a little 22 revolver loaded with Rat shot for welcoming unwanted dogs. It goes to the deer stand with me also. Unfortunately, my road is only a few miles out of town and a popular place for dumping off animals. Almost all of the dogs and cats we've had in the last 25yrs have started out as strays that someone dropped off, including the ones we have now.
If they're friendly, I've either adopted them or found them a home. The local humane society is always full. I've called them dozens of times over the years and always get the same answer: no room right now.
Feral cats and dogs that I can't catch or trap get the .308 sleeping pill. If it has a collar it gets it's rear end scratched with #12.

That would do it! I can actually hold a weed chopper fence in one hand and with my bare foot held near grass watch the arc run from my toe to the grass. It's a gift! 
. I get bored sometimes. Actually a dear old black man and family friend that worked at the hog farm with us taught me how to do that when we were checking fence. It wasn't one of those Lord Calvert learning sessions I have frequently. But. Those weed chopper fences are pretty intense.

Those strays that have had it rough before they came to you and you were good to them make some mighty good pets if they don't have bad conduct issues. They've been on the other side. They know when and where they have it good.

Possible, but I've been doing that since I was around 14 years old!

Same here in Iowa, Gene! I have shot them on and off duty. Most were feral dogs but others we had orders to shoot also.
When I was raising cattle I shot two that came from a house near one of my feedlots. I gave the dog owners numerous warnings but then I caught the two dogs killing one of my big feeder calves and I had to put the calf down. Yes, I shot both dogs.
Shoot the dogs and drop them off in the owners driveway. Then give him a bill for the calf.Same here in Iowa, Gene! I have shot them on and off duty. Most were feral dogs but others we had orders to shoot also.

I grew up on a dairy farm. We Protect our girls.
My neighbor from across the highway was a bird hunter and had several bird dogs. One would come and take a crap by my front steps each day. I solved the problem one day with a load of number 8's at about 25 yards away. The dog would not cross the highway again. But stand on my neighbors bank and look across the road over here. Problem solved.

What we did with cattle chaser. It didn't kill any calves be after second time we weren't going to wait and found out.
He wasn't home when we put dog in yard though.
He probably figured it out.
FYI never back into a weedburner wire with sweaty T shirt. 
Life changing. If you call thinking you just got hit by Star Wars Storm Trooper laser rifle at close range. When it cracked, my horse ran to other side of pasture snorting...prob horse language "you poor b*********" or "how does that feel sucker?"

I like dogs a lot, but I live right next to a very large cattle ranch, with quite a few other homesteads with cattle and other animals too.....dogs bothering livestock will not be tolerated.

When I was 10-12 years old I tried to cross our electric fence at the farm. The top barbed wire strand which was the hot wire was pretty high and a barb caught the crotch of my pants as I was on tip toes straddling the fence. My poor huevos just kept getting zapped and I would jump trying to tear loose, come down, and get popped again. Thankfully, finally, the crotch of my pants tore free as my jumps got higher and harder. I do not recommend this excercise. No huevos were permanently damaged in this incident.

Down in Miami there was a pack roaming the streets 4 or 5 dogs as I recall
Ended up attacking/killing a woman.
So yes , no collar, 9mm sleeping pill.
Angers me when owners won't mind their pets.
