This guy is SICK. Essentially he is torturing people who see his "displays." What if children see them? it would be horrifying. If my 2 year old niece saw that she'd have nightmares. I would like to string that guy up for what he's doing to the animals and to the public.
Definitely sounds like a case of "Farmers Brain". Animals are either useful or not. He could have spoken with his neighbors, like civilized people do, and requested that they prevent their dog from trespassing on his property - rather than just "exercising his rights" and shooting it. Granted some people are just stupid and putting a dead dog on "display" as a warning to other pet owners is inappropriate. You may not believe in evolution but why not give it a try? :)
@BillGoose1313 Inappropriate? He already shot one dog, likely he has shot dozens of them over the years.. Maybe he thought he had to go to that extreme so idiots would finally get the message and keep their dogs contained and not let them run loose. Chances are he doesn't like shooting dogs and doesn't want to have to do it again, and is frustrated to no end that his neighbors seem to force him to because they don't care enough to keep their dogs up.
@KillerNetDog Not exactly sure what point you're trying to make. Where I come from we have an agency called "Animal Control". When your neighbors let their dogs repeatedly run all over your property you call Animal Control, they catch the dog, and fine the owner. If you are a repeat offender - you end up in court and may lose your pet permanently. At least that's the way educated people approach that situation.
the second dogs antics?. DON'T get me wrong, I am not condoning what this sicko has done for one bit - but I am trying to describe how some farmers are. I drove onto a farmers driveway to see an elks head on the drive, Antlers removed (if you know how they are removed you would know its not a pretty sight). The kids were walking around, touching the head, talking as if it was a normal day. Thats the difference Farm raised people have little "emotional connection". He needs a "human chip" grr
@CowBayInk Umm that is a normal day, maybe you need to get a human chip.. We humans have been eating deer and elk for a few hundred thousand years if not more. It's only people that are very insulated from nature and natural ways that have any issue with kids seeing a dead animal. It's a fairly recent cultural thing. That emotional connection is just fine, it's just not the same connections suburbanites have, it is much more real and not a fantasy connection.
Sounds like he has a "Farmers" brain. Where animals are animals to make money, do a job or eat. So killing a dog would have no affect on his emotional well being. Farm dogs are usually not house pets. Think of the amount of sheep he's had to send to slaughter or get rid of. If a dog was coming in and winding up or attacking the sheep - then he should have raised it like a human being and not thought he could destroy the dog. It seems the Lab was blamed for sheep but perhaps it was really
i dont care what the situation is, if its not self defense then he had no right to hurt the animals let alone put them up for display. if its the sheep hes worried about they should be better kept!!! why hadnt he been the one to contact the police! someone call the aspca!
Whether there are 2 sides to this story or not this man is obviously disturbed & holds no remorse for his actions nor does he care about authority he shows no morality or regard for living things or whether his actions affect children or the families he's impacted. Let this guy continue to have freedom to behave this way & there's no telling what he'll do next & to whom. The animals had no voice & it's up to caring citizens to speak on their behalf & protect them. I hope this guy gets locked up.
@FallenInAdam You are absolutely right, we have to speak up for them on their behalf. You hit the nail on the head. I'm hoping he gets locked up too. He's very unstable.
I breed and raise dobermans. I also live in the country. While I certainly don't agree with the way this was done, ie stringing the dogs up for display, I'm certain there is more to this story, as there always is.
We're only hearing one side, and it's an emotional one, but before we get swept away with all those emotions and turn into vigilantes, stop and listen. Something happened to make this man shoot not one, but two dogs. I'd like to hear his side before I want to do anything.
What did he get convicted of? I'd just like to have the whole story in front of me before passing judgement. It's just too easy to get folks all stirred up and then find out there was something else involved. Where I'm at, people keep their dogs in their control. I'm sure it has something to do with if they get into my property the Dobermans will have their way with them, but still, dogs will be dogs, and they will get in trouble.
@tundrav84wd Sadly he only got convicted of vandalism, which he fought, had to go to court and lost. That was in case of the first dog, which was shot in the dog's owners drive way...totally uncalled for. He accused the dog of having killed his sheep. That dog was old, full of cancer, and on medication...he couldn't even run. The second case, the owner does take responsibility for the dog having gotten out and she is not disputing the fact that the guy shot her dog
@MissDolittle . But the way he strung the animal next to the school bus route for the children to see, that's a bit over the top whoever's fault it is, don't you think? He then proceeded to string up a dead sheep next to the dog which the dog supposedly had killed. Yet the sheep was very obviously dead a lot longer than the dog. He then put up threatening signs and started driving into the family's driveway, just to make an appearance. That guy creeped them out!
@MissDolittle And we ended up moving because of it. If people knew him as a 'person', they would understand. He's just sick of his sheep dying and not being able to control the situation so he has to place blame on the next best thing, my dogs.
@MissDolittle If this is true, then the first time, on the dog owners property, this should have consequences, major ones. It really could have gotten out of hand as if someone came on my property and shot one of my dogs, we'd have a much bigger problem. I'm a Viet Nam vet, and when someone says "torture", it gets my attention. I just wasn't seeing it in the pics posted. Emotional torture for the kids, absolutely, and wrongly handled. That should have had some consequences too
@tundrav84wd I really really appreciate you taking the time and trying to gather as many facts as possible before making up your mind. I have not met the guy myself, but I know the family personally...it was very traumatic to them.
@MissDolittle Hopefully someone has taken this man aside and let him know exactly how he screwed up and probably how lucky he really is. Owning and raising dogs, they are like family. I, as an owner have responsibilities to those dogs and my neighbors as well. There are ways to handle things, and it appears to have been poorly done. I'm particularly thinking of the children who were thrown into this. This all could have been avoided with a little thought. Sad situation.
@tundrav84wd I'm sure he has received several phone call as well as the Sheriff's Dept. but he simply does not care. He thinks/acts like he owns and runs everything out here. He's a massive control freak. I grew up here and grew up as his neighbor. He's as much as an evil man as his dad was. Very miserable person.
@tundrav84wd It didn't, unfortunately. All he had to say was my dogs are killing his sheep. He knows the laws inside and out and takes FULL advantage of them.
@kissmyass1013 Exactly, the sheriff has to take someone's word on it, and if the digs are allowed loose it won't be the dog owners side ever. If the dogs are inside a good fence, and he shot them in there, the sheriff will take the dog owner's side. But then if they were fenced none of this would have happened.
Its too bad this happened to you but you shouldn't let your dogs out of your yard if you're afraid of what will happen to them when they're in somebody else's yard. If i was a parent and my kids first pet got killed by the neighbor i wouldn't let the other dog out the damn yard too waiting to see what would happen to it. thats really stupid.
This is totally wrong!! This poor dogs were the victims of crime! People have no heart and cruel for the animals. It make me want to kill that neighbor who killed the dogs!!
Anyone who can kill and display any living creature like this and not think he did anything wrong is MENTAL. Think about it for a damn second. If you see a dog running around in your yard that a neighbor let out on accident, whats your first reaction? To kill it and then hang its corpse on your fence for their children to see? How are some of you not seeing how psychotic that is?
@xPowderBluLolipopzx Because it's not a yard, it's a sheep pasture. And the first reaction of many sheep farmers is to shoot it before he loses half his flock in an hour or two. And the dog is not let out on accident, it is allowed to run loose full time. And most dogs will chase and kill sheep if given an opportunity.
This isn't a case of a dog in a suburb getting out and pooping on the neighbors yard.
And it wasn't his first reaction, more likely his hundredth.
@KillerNetDog Listen, I spoke to Randy Klatt and part of his prattle when asked if he was having so much trouble with losing sheep why he didn't get a guard dog he replied, "I have dogs with the sheep but (the neighbor's) dog made friends with them so my dogs didn't stop them from killing the sheep. Does that sound like a man of solid reasoning? I know you are a local and likely a bud of Randy's, or a relative, but really, you cannot win this argument--CRUELTY SUCKS.
@mks281 He's just an idiot that thinks he know everything about everyone and he doesn't know crap. He's the type of person of the same level as Randy Klatt and will defend him all day long. We shouldn't be wasting our time even trying to defend ourselves or the situation to him. He's too shallow.
@mks281 Umm, nope, try Bastrop county down by Austin. And he is right LGD's are questionable, they might not protect against other dogs, and might even kill the sheep themselves. A donkey is often better protection, as they tend to really hate dogs and can be very aggressive towards them. I never said he had solid reasoning, just playing devils advocate.. Sheep farmers killing dogs is very common.. for very common reasons. It would be a safe guess he has killed many dogs over the years
@KillerNetDog You are such an idiot. They were not allowed to run loose full time. They stayed in and went out to use the bathroom. And second, how the hell would you know if this was Mr. Klatts first reaction?! It WAS his first and only damn reaction. You act like you know everything about everybody. Newsflash mr., you DON'T know a damn thing.
@kissmyass1013 So in all his years of raising sheep your dogs are the very first two he has shot? His first reaction to a loose neighbors dog was likely a couple decades ago.
I never said I knew anything except that you and him are both in the wrong, neither of you will admit it, and your dogs and kids paid the price.
Loose dogs die all the time, the only real lesson to be learned here is don't let your dogs run loose. One you don't seem to have learned yet.
@KillerNetDog Other than his own 'guard dogs' mauling his sheep, as far as I know, this is the first. I have a witness that personally saw his own two guard dogs mauling a sheep with the sheep down and blood and guts everywhere. And yes, I have learned a very valuable lesson, there are evil people in the world that will take crap out on innocent people and animals and do not give a rats ass who it affects. I don't have any more dogs, even though it killed me to take them to a no-kill shelter.
@KillerNetDog And since you know everything, would I legally be able to shoot his sheep if they came in my yard? Probably not. I wouldn't stoop to his level and it's not the sheeps fault that have such a coward for an owner.
@xPowderBluLolipopzx My neigbor claims my dogs were killing his sheep, even though he could not produce a sheep when he shot my first dog when the deputy asked. My kids had nightmare for a while over this. First saw their pet with his guts hanging out and then another pet hanging on the neighbors fence. They do not understand this. Mr. Klatt is heartless and this was his FIRST and only reaction.
A dog is a domesticated animal that has been bred to be totally dependent on humans. They are not a fox or wolf or coyote, and 90% of those free wild animals meet a horrible violent and painful death just like most loose dogs do.
Do you not spay and neuter because 'It's not natural" as well? That usually goes right along with the idiotic notion that dogs should be allowed to run free.. Loose free running dogs producing millions of pups filling shelters and being put to death every year.
When a dog gets in my yard you know what I want to do? I want to bring it inside and play with it! Not shoot it. Any sane person would not shoot an animal for being in it's yard. An evil person would. Anyone defending this man is just as evil.
Isn't that animal cruelty? Isn't there any laws for animal cruelty in Texas? How is that legal? You shouldn't need legal council, he should be arrested for breaking the law!
@tiffanymoe The way the law is written now, he should be in jail. He got a $50 vandelism ticket for the 'damage done to my property' (my dog, Boy that was shot). He got nothing for running over and hanging Zeak on his fence. Here's how the law is written now. Tell me what you think: It states in the defense to the prosecution, subsection (b) (2) or (6) that: the animal was DISCOVERED on the person's property IN THE ACT OF or after injuring or killing the persons livestock animal or damaging the
KillerNetDog I'm sorry that the national educational ranking of the Southwest upsets you; perhaps you will be moved to vote for representatives who will work toward funding a decent education for future generations. Your comment that my post is emotional suggests you believe it has no merit. So be it, you continue on in your own miniscule world supporting animal abuse and I'll fly free in mine (literally!) Figure that one out~
@mks281 For the record, My sister is a teacher in Texas, as is my sister in law, and I run a multimillion dollar high tech company I founded myself with my own savings. I do contracts with research institutes, government entities both here and in Europe, and even sell product in China. I just think you are taking an intellectual cheap shot as just as many loose dogs are shot every day by farmers in the NE, or NW, or any other part of this nation. It is a huge problem.
@KillerNetDog If you want to intelligent about this, if you have the capacity and courage to seriously put yourself in Mr. Klatt's shoes I challenge you. I dare you, to go a sheep raising or small homesteading discussion forum and simply ask the people there this simple question... "What is your opinion and your experiences with neighbors loose dogs?" And read the replies with an open mind. Do it, I dare you.
@KillerNetDog And I would imagine they shoot to kill and don't torture and display the dogs either. That is my point. If you have to shoot an animal for whatever reason, do it humainly and responsibly and make sure they DO NOT SUFFER!!! Get that through your thick head.
As far as the comments about responsibility I spoke with both the owner and the perpetrator and the owner accepts her share of the blame...the perp...he's clueless that what he did was a reprehensible act against two companion animals and the children who he purposely, get that now, purposely exposed to daily mental anguish. Why are you people defending him? Hmmm, relatives maybe? Or birds of a feather...whatever~
@mks281 She certainly hasn't taken any responsibility in what she says here, "I never dreamed" is not it. That's a defensive excuse justifying letting them run loose, not an acknowledgement that all dogs should be contained for their own safety. Thousands if not tens of thousands die this way every year, all across this nation, this is a very very common tale of woe. The word needs to get out that it is NEVER ok to let your dogs run loose.
@KillerNetDog Look, what I see here in this tragic situation is two neighbors. Both of these individuals are in the wrong, neither wants to believe it and admit it. It is a very common situation. My goal is to have anyone reading walk away from the discussion with the clear knowledge that it is never ok to let your dogs run loose, no matter where you live. That will save far far more dogs from a grisly death than some impotent internet vendetta against Mr. Klatt ever will.
KillerNetDog...your old school attitude reveals you are a native to the Southwest where education is ranked very low in priority--Texas is 44th...but 2nd in drop outs. Did you stop to ask what motivates someone to hang a beloved pet on a fence? Sick vengence, Bubba. That is the issue here...but you missed it, didn't you? This guy isn't simply protecting his livestock--he is purposely causing emotional pain to CHILDREN. Get it now? Protecting his livestock was a front...and you fell for it.
@mks281 Didn't miss it at all, but you cannot control Mr. Klatt. What you can control is his access to your animals. Allowing them to run loose puts them at this man's mercy. It was totally preventable simply by taking care of the animals and keeping them confined and safe instead of loose in the countryside.
What motivates someone to do that? Maybe it's years and years of idiot neighbors that let their dogs run loose and refuse to contain them. Neighbors that are so thick headed and stupid that horrible extreme message is the only thing that that will sink through their think skulls that they should put keep their dogs in fence. You nor I have no clue what his motivation was. But one fact is 100% clear, if the dogs had not been loose they would be alive today.
@KillerNetDog You are the idiot here. Not me. You are the one that is thick headed and won't get the fact that there is a difference between protecting livestock and right out inflicting emotional pain on a family, INTENTIONALLY. I haven't a clue why you can't or won't get that but that's your problem.
@mks281 BTW your yet another that has no real argument, so you use a ad-hominem insult and attack the messenger. Reality is that if you own a dog you are responsible for it's safety and you should keep it confined to a fence. She did not do so even after one was killed. There is NO EXCUSE for that, there is NO ARGUMENT that it was irresponsible. So you insult me personally instead in your emotional tantrum. The irony is that your insult also insults her as a stupid native of the SW.
@KillerNetDog I hardly think mks281 comments are unfair. They are just stating their opionion, just as you are. And how are they insulting me? They aren't YOU are the stupid...scratch that, the igorant one here. I think it's cruel to keep dogs chained or fenced up in the country. And no, I never dreamed he would do this yet again. He is a cruel, bitter pos just like his father was. The responsibility should not be just on me and me alone. He needs to be off of the streets and he should be in
@kissmyass1013 You think it's cruel to fence your dog in, why exactly? What business does your dog have going off your property? FENCE IT.
I think your opinion is ridiculous as does every animal rescue, every vet organization, every livestock organization, every animal rights organization.. Is it cruel not to let your 3 year old toddler just run loose and free on her own? Same thing.
jail according to the way the law is written now. It states in the defense to the prosecution, subsection (b) (2) or (6) that: the animal was DISCOVERED on the person's property IN THE ACT OF or after injuring or killing the persons livestock animal or damaging the persons crops and that person killed or injured the animal AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY. If you're still confused, go re-read what happened including the difference of decomposition of the sheep & Zeak.
@kissmyass1013 I'm not confused at all, I know what the law is, and I fence my dogs for their protection because I know people like Mr. Klatt exist and what they will do. I know if my dogs are loose, the law will be on his side.
If you had kept your dogs contained this would have never happened.
So this stupid woman moves in next door to a sheep farm, allows her large dogs to just run loose, and then gets mad when the farmer shoots her dogs for going after his sheep. What exactly did she think the result or her irresponsible actions and lack of proper care for her dogs would be? Such an irresponsible woman has no business owning a dog. The guy may be a jerk, but hanging killed predators on fences is very common in the southwest and has been for a hundred years.
@KillerNetDog OK, Mister know it all...lets see what happens when your Hope gets out accidentally next chance and you find her strung like that to a fence. Lets just see how YOU react.
@MissDolittle Hope doesn't get out accidentally. I have a very good fence and make sure she doesn't. I unlike this irresponsible person that has no business owning a dog take proper care of any animals in my care and assure their safety. If she were to get out and be shot I would be devastated, but unlike this irresponsible owner I would place full blame on myself, not start an internet campaign against someone else who is simply protecting his livestock from my personal predator.
@KillerNetDog OK, you want to argue the facts, lets argue the facts: first dog that was shot was shot in the dog's owner's drive way, not on the shooter's property. In addition, the dog was quite old and ill and not capable of what he was accused of, namely killing sheep. -----continues -----
@MissDolittle Fact? Nobody saw the dog shot in the driveway, that is "opinion" when it was much more likely shot in the mans pasture and escaped and made it home to it's driveway, It is "speculation" that the dog was shot in it's own driveway, not fact. And an old dog is quite capable of killing a sheep. It can run, it has teeth.. speculation, not fact. You are very very short on fact, and very long on speculation.
@KillerNetDog Well obviously you must have been there (strange that I didn't see you) to know it all that well. I just gave you the FACTS and you call me a liar. I'm done having a conversation with somebody so blessed with ignorance like yourself. Sticking up for an animal abuser like this says a lot about you already, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt...sadly it got only worse.
@MissDolittle I'm only going by the woman's own words, who says she found her dog in her driveway in that condition. Not calling anyone a liar, calm down and get a hold on your emotions. Yeah the guy was a jerk (can't post what I would like to call him) but the fact remains had this woman properly cared for her dogs none of it would have happened.
@KillerNetDog For your information Mr. Know-it-all, Boy was in FACT shot on my property. The deputy PROVED that and it is in the police report. He was 12 years old, dying of a tumor, was on medication to make him comfortable and limped on his back left leg. And here's the kicker, you're probably so ignorant like Mr. Klatt that you still don't believe the facts and still believe Boy could have chased down a sheep and I suppose he ate it all too because Mr. Klatt could not produce a sheep that Boy
@kissmyass1013 Then he should be charged for shooting your dog on your property. That is against the law regardless of whether he saw it on his property earlier. I have a hard time believing a sheriff would write in a report that he was certain it was done on your property and refuse to file charges.
@KillerNetDog All he was given was a ticket for vandalism which he refused to pay so we went to court on September 29th in Hamilton, Texas and lost, thankfully. That day after court, Mr. Klatt threw a bunch of papers of my postings about this in my driveway and a cardboard sign with 'You'll need this for the next dog that is shot' written on it. I called the police and they did try to issue a warrant for stalking charges but for some reason the judge would not sign the warrant. They were going
to try to file charges for harassment instead but never followed trough with it. I'm going to call the Sheriff this week and find out why they were never pursued.
@kissmyass1013 So he said killed you said not, sounds like the facts depend on he said or she said. The only FACT is that had you taken proper care of your dogs and fenced them they would be alive and well today.
@KillerNetDog I grew up out here and my Mom never had a problem like this. I never dreamed this would be an issue. And the FACT IS HE COULD NOT PRODUCE A SHEEP WHEN ASKED TO! Are you having trouble comprehending that???
@kissmyass1013 Seriously, even after he shot your first dog you still never dreamed that letting your other dog continue to run loose would endanger it. Sorry but that's either utter bullshit or you have the IQ of a fencepost. If your mom never had a problem she was one lucky lady. Nothing however changes the fact that had you cared properly for you dogs they would not have net that horrible end.
@MissDolittle I appreciate you trying to talk sense into this guy but he obviously has the same ignorant caliber that Mr. Klatt does. He can't wrap his head around what you, me or everyone else is trying to say.
@MissDolittle Me too! I'm killing myself trying to get on his level so he can comprehend anything but all is lost but I don't care. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. Let him have his but I will (try) to ignore his future postings. And I'd bet anything he's the same....(I'll be nice) that's on the VARK forum. No comprehension skills there either.
@kissmyass1013 I comprehend just fine, the guy killed you dogs and is an asshole.. You don't seen to however feel any responsibility or guilt in leaving your dogs to run loose and leave them open to the mercy of the freak. Your just as thick headed in your "I must be right" attitude as he is. You never dreamed, really? loose dogs next to a psycho sheep farm, sorry you must be an utter idiot not have seen the danger, even after you lost one dog, you still never dreamed.. Bullshit.
@KillerNetDog You could have fooled me that you comprehend just fine. How dare you verbally abuse this woman after what she and her kids have gone through. I own calves and have a couple of neighbors whos dogs run loose. It's the country. It's cruel to keep them fenced or chained up and as long as they don't bother my calves, which they haven't in the past 4 years, I don't see a problem with them being on my proptery. I think she's right, I think you are the igorant one and it sure does
@Tribal1119Thunder Hey she's the one that started the verbal abuse on me, when it is her own damn stupidity that got her dogs killed. What kind of absolute moron continues to let a dog run absolutely loose when the crazy neighbor already shot her other dog? I was being nice until she went off calling an ignorant idiot.
@KillerNetDog From what I read, YOU started it by saying 'So this stupid woman....'. Ring any bells....dumbass. You might as well throw in the towel because there is NO excuse for what that man did. I don't care if she had a fence or not. Why does all of the responsibility have to fall on her?! It doesn't! He needs to be made responsible for his actions!
@Tribal1119Thunder Because you didn't read where the discussion actually began on another site.
I never said there was an excuse, I agree he was wrong to do what he did. The problem I see is that she was also wrong, and refuses to see it.
I want to SAVE DOGS from having the same happen to them, as this happens to thousands if not tens of thousands of dogs a year all across America. My point is to FENCE YOUR DOGS not make excuses for someone who didn't and who poor dogs paid.
@KillerNetDog Oh, so I'm supose to know what's going on on other sites...ok. If you want to SAVE THE DOGS, then why don't you spend the energy you spend on here trying to tear her down, trying to actually do the right thing and get people like Randy off of the streets and help get the laws changed. Why don't you start by signing the petiton at: change.org/petitions/stop-any-and-all-suffering-of-animals-no-matter-what-the-reason
@Tribal1119Thunder I think my energy would be put to better use to lobby the Texas state legislature to make it illegal in the entire state to allow your dogs to run loose. It would certainly save more dogs and be easier than changing the livestock protection laws. Some states already have that law, and we should as well.
sound like you are either Randy or you know him. You are a very close-minded 'human being'. What kind of 'person' thinks it's ok to shoot a dog on his own property and not even make sure he killed it, leaving it to suffer and then run down a dog, obviously not on this mans property, then hang it like a trophy for the whole world to see, including impressionable children! You are no better than the man that did this. If he's 'protecting' his livestock, fine but make sure
@Tribal1119Thunder I never said it was ok for him to shoot her dog, THE LAW said it was ok. It's not ok by me. But it also not ok to allow your dogs to run loose with no confinement. It is in fact against the law to do so in most places. It is idiotic to continue to allow your dog to run loose after your sick neighbor already killed one, and allow him to kill the other 6 months later because you still were too stupid to confine your dog. Keep your dog fenced and safe.
@kissmyass1013 All I am trying to say is that you have no business owning a dog if you don't take proper care of it and keep it physically safe and secured. Do you seriously disagree with that? You abandoned your responsibility to your pets when you did not contain them, I pray you don't condemn yet more innocent dogs to such a grisly fate through your irresponsibility.
@kissmyass1013 I wrap my head around it just fine. I'm not the idiot that grew up in the country and yet had no idea of livestock protection laws, I'm not the idiot that even after the sicko neighbor killed one dog, let my other dog run loose until he killed it too 6 months later. I properly fence my animals, I am not ignorant of the laws, my dogs are safe from sickos like this because I am not ignorant of the dangers... and you think I am the ignorant idiot? What a laugh..
@KillerNetDog I never had a reason to. This has never happened. I think you get off on trying to argue your point and try to prove you're right. You sound a lot like Mr. Klatt. I'm done talking to you. You don't want to see the FACTS. All you want to see is your warped, twisted ideas as the facts. Have a good day Mr. KillerNetDog.
@kissmyass1013 You still have not acknowledged one tiny bit of fault in yourself for allowing your dogs to get killed, and even after you knew exactly what he would do, still allowing your other dog to run loose for 6 months until it got killed too. I pray you never own another dog and show such stupidity and irresponsibility. But it seems you still see nothing wrong with your own actions, and would still condemn a dog in your care to grisly fate.
The 2nd dog, yes, he should not have gotten out, can't argue with that. If he indeed killed sheep, yes the sheep owner has the right to protect his lifestock and shoot the dog. Nobody argued that. Nor does anybody argue that the owner of the dog is responsible for the dog getting out. ----continues---
Now the custom to hang a dead coyote from a fence to discourage others to come closer is hardly an "excuse" for what this man did to a pet dog and 7 year old kids having to see it every morning.
This is not only about some dispute and dead animals, this is also about traumatized children, and I really think it should stop here. Don't you?
@MissDolittle It has stopped. The question is has the woman built a fence, does she accept any responsibility for abandoning her responsibility to contain her dogs? Will she condemn yet more dogs to a hideous death by neglecting to properly care for them? She is the one responsible for her personal predators, she is responsible for her kids trauma. She has zero business owning a dog and not caring for it, only she could have prevented the deaths.
An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth, and this dude needs the same treatment he gives the dogs. He needs to know and feel the terror and confusion the children felt. Sick. If Texas wasn't so far away this guy would get some of his own medicine. Pretty easy to attack a defenseless animal with a firearm; whats he going to do when confronted by a not defenseless human; same as he did to the dog?
@antivax2 In Texas, he can legally shoot and kill you too if you go on his property and threaten him or his livestock.
The woman moved in next to him with two large dogs, did not fence them in, and should not have been surprised when they went on the mans property and he killed them, as any sheep farmer would do. Dogs are second only to coyotes in slaughtering tens of thousands of sheep in Texas each year. The woman was very irresponsible as a dog owner, and her poor dogs and kids paid for it.
@KillerNetDog That old dog was capable of nothing; where is the proof of anything claimed, as that said of the dog? Making a display of the dog like that is sick, and he is sick. He can shoot me if I go on his property and threaten him? What part of the backwoods Ozarks were you raised in? Better brush up on the actual laws, Brutus! Maybe I should just have him wacked and thrown in a river 2500 miles away. Lets see, where would be a good place?
@antivax2 In Texas you are within your rights to defend yourself with lethal force if someone is on your property with intent to do you bodily harm. Quite simple really. Reality is you have no idea what the dog did, nor does his owner, as neither of you witnessed what happened. This is why you don't let your dogs run loose, because they often meet bad ends. If you let them run loose you have nobody to blame but yourself if they meet a tragic end.
no their dogs may not be especially if they have moved. However, you can keep this video going and use it to help create community awareess and get better and stronger laws in place. Animals are no longer considered 'property' and their torture and death no longer 'vandalism'. This is awful. PETA is not perfect, however, they do put the fear in to the law makers. Sometimes you simply have to take what you need and what you can use from a group and use other groups for other things
Okay so what is the outcome of this bitch ass animal murderer I hope he is dead or in jail cuz if not I will come and have his dumb retarded ass fucked up
Forward this video to PETA, contact the Bob Barker fund for animal legal defense. If animal cruelty is not a felony in your state, then get your representatives to make it so. If my children were subjected to such horrors, there would definitely be repercussions. There are attorneys who will take this case. Call the media, the HSUS, ASPCA, and make public the address, fax and phone of the local yokels who failed to prosecute this bastard. This is absolutely child and animal abuse.
@MissDolittle Did you forward all of the information on the local laws to PETA? Seriously, animal abuse is a felony in almost all states. If it is not in your state, then begin a campaign to mae it so. In Kansas we have "Scruffys Law". It took a lot of air time, a lot of it on the national level and a year or more to get it passed but it did pass.
@sigmund1951 I personally didn't, but the owner of the dogs did. They got involved trying to help her place the remaining dogs which she feared for. They tried to place these dogs in high kill shelters? I didn't care about any further involvement on their part after that. But that's not my call.
I would cripple him for life--I would be devoid of empathy for him---there are pages and pages on You Tube full of people who derive pleasure out of torturing and killing defensless animals--a man in Massachusetts just got 5 years in prison for killing a cat--I have a cat and it is like my child--their souls are pure--I cannot fathom how anyone could harm an animal..
I am just waiting for a super hero to make the idiot suffer more than those poor animals. If the law is s**t then the real people should take it into their hands. Eye for eye. Americans wake up!
I'm not from the US. Is there no animal cruelty laws? Wouldn't reporting this scumbag with all this evidence, enough to be charged. I'm just not clear why you need a donation.
I don't think i'd be able to control myself seeing such a thing. He would regret it I can assure you.
@TheALGAYDA Ya, there are very lame cruelty laws here. Animals are seen as a possession, not a life to save. The guy who did this got away with a 50 Dollar fine for Vandalism. The family tried to get enough money together to hire an attorney to take this guy to civil court and sue him out of house and home, but we couldn't get anybody interested. That's that biggest shame of all. Not a lawyer, not a news reporter, nobody.
@MissDolittle I'm so sorry to hear that. Makes me appreciate the Laws we have here a lot more. I'd make a facebook page of shame, contact the newspapers, animal welfare,put posters up.. I'd even contact the school and bus company about the bus route. I wouldn't want my kid seeing that. He cannot get away with this barbaric cruel behavior. I sincerely wish you well..I cannot imagine how heartbreaking this must be :(
@TheALGAYDA Thank you! We did all of this and more. There's a facebook page (just look for Justice for Zeak & Boy) and there's been a Petition, but nothing ever came out of it. The family ended up moving to another place because they couldn't live in fear anymore.
@Firep0w3r That's not the address he resides at and where it happened. This address in inside town. He has another address where he lives, but I don't know it.
@Firep0w3r The address where it happened is on County Road 412 in Hamilton, Texas. My deepest thoughts are with the family that has to deal with him as a neighbor!
Think about the people who saw that dog on the fence and accepted it. Folks who live on CR 412; the school bus driver on the route(!), how about law enforcement? If you saw that dog hanging on a fence what would you do? In Hamilton, this disgusting episode was labeled acceptable as part of our "rural culture." You could do some good by writing a letter to the editor Hamilton Herald News and let Hamilton know their "rural culture" has dimayed the rest of the world! Be reflective and polite.
@mks281 I would do nothing, I've seen thousands of dogs, coyotes, foxes and other predators hanging on ranchers fences for all my 53 years growing up in Texas and New Mexico. It's normal part of rural life. It's also normal to expect that if you allow two large dogs to roam loose that they will not be alive for long, especially right next door to a sheep farm. Not many dogs can resist chasing sheep, and eventually killing every last sheep in the flock.
good lord, i didn't know they were that lawless down in texas. sounds like you need to get the hell out of this ********* town asap. who knows, he probably tortures other animals too. this kind of person needs to be locked up for life, but sadly nothing ever happens until they get caught for murder
Naturally, I don't agree with the dogs being displayed, but the truth is there is probably some long history in this situation that is being omitted. That is usually the case. I believe that animal owners should be held legally liable for the acts of the animals that they fail to keep at home. The worst offenders happen to be dog owners. They see dogs as extensions of their own aggression, and usually shout foul when their victims finally get fed and retaliate. In short, keep your dogs at home.
@icmbirds Then I hope you don't have any dogs. If you do, I hope you are THE perfect dog owner and your dogs never ever get out....it happens to the best of us, dude.
I don't think icmbirds guy is saying that the dogs deserved the treatment. But you do have to take some responsibility here. There are leash and containment laws. even in Texas. If you can't afford a fence, or you can't otherwise contain your dogs knowing you're neighbor is a psycho? Well?
This is truly a tragedy. Serial killers often practice on animals before moving to human victims. This guy needs a psych eval and fast!
@LisaBriz7 The guy is only doing what ranchers have done for 100 years, dogs routinely slaughter sheep. She was 100% irresponsible in leaving two large dogs loose next door to a sheep farm. Farmers routinely hang dead predators on the fences, it's very common not just in Texas but all over the southwest. I'm sorry for her pain, but what did she think would happen letting her two predatory carnivores loose next door to a sheep farm? I place more blame on her then the jerk of a farmer.
This person must have serious mental problems... Whether you have a love for animals or not, no one in their right mind can TORTURE A LIVING THING and feel no remorse. When I saw the pictures of boy, I started to cry. I absolutely am ashamed that I share the same oxygen with people that can be so cruel. I hope this bastard gets what he deserves.
Central Texas Humane Society has a prosecution lawyer, and last I recall, he'd be chomping at the bit to get at this monster. I no longer have the number, but they're easy to find.
hamilton is a retirement community many without computers and others in areas with no internet access. if you want folks here to see this, put it on tv. And altho it shouldn't matter, Bewley is up for reelection next year. If you can get this on tv, you may get the justice you deserve. I know thats sad, but thats they way he plays politics. He will do anything on election year. Let the nation know what a freakin idiot he is. And I say that very nicely.
contact the media outlets. Have them put pressure on Sheriff Gregg Bewley and make this a national issue. Make Bewley explain how this is not torture or cruelty to animals and why he has decided not to press charges. Have the media force him to take action. And if anyone would like to contact Bewley and ask him themselves, call the Sheriff's Dept at 254-386-8128.
@MissDolittle WHAT IS THE EXACT ADDRESS OF THIS SCUMBAG??? I HAVE NO PROBLEM TORTURING HIM AND HANGING HIM UP FOR ALL TO SEE! I can't even believe he is still breathing!!!! I understand there are children involved and I don't expect you to take matters into your own hands and end up in jail but god help that sorry piece of shit if he ever even thought to lay a finger on one of my animals... He would die a very slow and painful death... Back to my main question what is his address????????
@keeptalkinsmackson Finally someone who thinks like me. Eye for eye! If I lived in the US I'd surely help you. I am not scared of such s**theads like this pervert Randy Klatt. Good luck, you are fighting for a very justified cause.
Where did this happen? If i was the owner of that dog id tell randy to come over wit ha gunto help for somthing and id shoot him.. tell the police he was armed and threatening me.. or id just burn his house down after barring all his exits. thats just me though. Im sure alot of you will agree..
nothing justifys what happened to the dogs. The neighbor is wrong. I wish the family well in what ever they decided to do. The neighbor is dangerous and scary if his aim is no better than that. Gut shots are cruel and his next victem may be an individual. He should have his guns taken away, he can get a donkey to protect his herd. Neighbor needs a mental evaluation as well. He is Sadistic and cruel lacking human compassion. psyco path. No empathy or respect for life. Neighbor=seriel killer
And to whomever responded that they can sue in small claims court without a lawyer-- Dogs are considered property. With minimal value. So they sue, they win $200.00 and the guy never pays. Now how exactly is that justice?
@Kwinnypoo Since dogs are considered property, small claims court may be the only one that will hear the case. I didn't say it was a good solution, but in most states, the max you can sue for is $5,000. That would certainly get the creep's attention, I'm sure.
Absolute insanity. This Randy guy is a total psychopath. Killing and torturing animals is usally the first step in much worse. Please, if at all possible, move away from this man! And to whomever posted Mr. Klatt's contact info. Thank you. Now if only I lived in Texas... ... ... ...
How can someone "claim" it attacked his sheep and not have proof and do something like this? If there is no proof then he has no cause to get away with it.
This guy is SICK. Essentially he is torturing people who see his "displays." What if children see them? it would be horrifying. If my 2 year old niece saw that she'd have nightmares. I would like to string that guy up for what he's doing to the animals and to the public.

Definitely sounds like a case of "Farmers Brain". Animals are either useful or not. He could have spoken with his neighbors, like civilized people do, and requested that they prevent their dog from trespassing on his property - rather than just "exercising his rights" and shooting it. Granted some people are just stupid and putting a dead dog on "display" as a warning to other pet owners is inappropriate. You may not believe in evolution but why not give it a try? :)
BillGoose1313 2 weeks ago
@BillGoose1313 Inappropriate? He already shot one dog, likely he has shot dozens of them over the years.. Maybe he thought he had to go to that extreme so idiots would finally get the message and keep their dogs contained and not let them run loose. Chances are he doesn't like shooting dogs and doesn't want to have to do it again, and is frustrated to no end that his neighbors seem to force him to because they don't care enough to keep their dogs up.
KillerNetDog 2 weeks ago
@KillerNetDog Not exactly sure what point you're trying to make. Where I come from we have an agency called "Animal Control". When your neighbors let their dogs repeatedly run all over your property you call Animal Control, they catch the dog, and fine the owner. If you are a repeat offender - you end up in court and may lose your pet permanently. At least that's the way educated people approach that situation.

the second dogs antics?. DON'T get me wrong, I am not condoning what this sicko has done for one bit - but I am trying to describe how some farmers are. I drove onto a farmers driveway to see an elks head on the drive, Antlers removed (if you know how they are removed you would know its not a pretty sight). The kids were walking around, touching the head, talking as if it was a normal day. Thats the difference Farm raised people have little "emotional connection". He needs a "human chip" grr
CowBayInk 3 weeks ago
@CowBayInk Umm that is a normal day, maybe you need to get a human chip.. We humans have been eating deer and elk for a few hundred thousand years if not more. It's only people that are very insulated from nature and natural ways that have any issue with kids seeing a dead animal. It's a fairly recent cultural thing. That emotional connection is just fine, it's just not the same connections suburbanites have, it is much more real and not a fantasy connection.
KillerNetDog 1 week ago
Sounds like he has a "Farmers" brain. Where animals are animals to make money, do a job or eat. So killing a dog would have no affect on his emotional well being. Farm dogs are usually not house pets. Think of the amount of sheep he's had to send to slaughter or get rid of. If a dog was coming in and winding up or attacking the sheep - then he should have raised it like a human being and not thought he could destroy the dog. It seems the Lab was blamed for sheep but perhaps it was really

i dont care what the situation is, if its not self defense then he had no right to hurt the animals let alone put them up for display. if its the sheep hes worried about they should be better kept!!! why hadnt he been the one to contact the police! someone call the aspca!

We're only hearing one side, and it's an emotional one, but before we get swept away with all those emotions and turn into vigilantes, stop and listen. Something happened to make this man shoot not one, but two dogs. I'd like to hear his side before I want to do anything.

It's just too easy to get folks all stirred up and then find out there was something else involved. Where I'm at, people keep their dogs in their control. I'm sure it has something to do with if they get into my property the Dobermans will have their way with them, but still, dogs will be dogs, and they will get in trouble.

@tundrav84wd Sadly he only got convicted of vandalism, which he fought, had to go to court and lost. That was in case of the first dog, which was shot in the dog's owners drive way...totally uncalled for. He accused the dog of having killed his sheep. That dog was old, full of cancer, and on medication...he couldn't even run. The second case, the owner does take responsibility for the dog having gotten out and she is not disputing the fact that the guy shot her dog
MissDolittle 1 month ago
@MissDolittle . But the way he strung the animal next to the school bus route for the children to see, that's a bit over the top whoever's fault it is, don't you think? He then proceeded to string up a dead sheep next to the dog which the dog supposedly had killed. Yet the sheep was very obviously dead a lot longer than the dog. He then put up threatening signs and started driving into the family's driveway, just to make an appearance. That guy creeped them out!

@MissDolittle If this is true, then the first time, on the dog owners property, this should have consequences, major ones. It really could have gotten out of hand as if someone came on my property and shot one of my dogs, we'd have a much bigger problem. I'm a Viet Nam vet, and when someone says "torture", it gets my attention. I just wasn't seeing it in the pics posted. Emotional torture for the kids, absolutely, and wrongly handled. That should have had some consequences too

I'm particularly thinking of the children who were thrown into this. This all could have been avoided with a little thought. Sad situation.

@kissmyass1013 Exactly, the sheriff has to take someone's word on it, and if the digs are allowed loose it won't be the dog owners side ever. If the dogs are inside a good fence, and he shot them in there, the sheriff will take the dog owner's side. But then if they were fenced none of this would have happened.

Its too bad this happened to you but you shouldn't let your dogs out of your yard if you're afraid of what will happen to them when they're in somebody else's yard.

How are some of you not seeing how psychotic that is?
xPowderBluLolipopzx 1 month ago 2
@xPowderBluLolipopzx Because it's not a yard, it's a sheep pasture. And the first reaction of many sheep farmers is to shoot it before he loses half his flock in an hour or two. And the dog is not let out on accident, it is allowed to run loose full time. And most dogs will chase and kill sheep if given an opportunity.
This isn't a case of a dog in a suburb getting out and pooping on the neighbors yard.
And it wasn't his first reaction, more likely his hundredth.

@KillerNetDog Listen, I spoke to Randy Klatt and part of his prattle when asked if he was having so much trouble with losing sheep why he didn't get a guard dog he replied, "I have dogs with the sheep but (the neighbor's) dog made friends with them so my dogs didn't stop them from killing the sheep. Does that sound like a man of solid reasoning? I know you are a local and likely a bud of Randy's, or a relative, but really, you cannot win this argument--CRUELTY SUCKS.

A dog is a domesticated animal that has been bred to be totally dependent on humans. They are not a fox or wolf or coyote, and 90% of those free wild animals meet a horrible violent and painful death just like most loose dogs do.
Do you not spay and neuter because 'It's not natural" as well? That usually goes right along with the idiotic notion that dogs should be allowed to run free.. Loose free running dogs producing millions of pups filling shelters and being put to death every year.

What motivates someone to do that? Maybe it's years and years of idiot neighbors that let their dogs run loose and refuse to contain them.

@KillerNetDog You are the idiot here. Not me.

@mks281 BTW your yet another that has no real argument, so you use a ad-hominem insult and attack the messenger. Reality is that if you own a dog you are responsible for it's safety and you should keep it confined to a fence. She did not do so even after one was killed. There is NO EXCUSE for that, there is NO ARGUMENT that it was irresponsible. So you insult me personally instead in your emotional tantrum. The irony is that your insult also insults her as a stupid native of the SW.

@KillerNetDog I hardly think mks281 comments are unfair. They are just stating their opionion, just as you are. And how are they insulting me?

He is a cruel, bitter pos just like his father was. The responsibility should not be just on me and me alone. He needs to be off of the streets and he should be in

@kissmyass1013 You think it's cruel to fence your dog in, why exactly? What business does your dog have going off your property? FENCE IT.
I think your opinion is ridiculous as does every animal rescue, every vet organization, every livestock organization, every animal rights organization.. Is it cruel not to let your 3 year old toddler just run loose and free on her own? Same thing.

jail according to the way the law is written now. It states in the defense to the prosecution, subsection (b) (2) or (6) that: the animal was DISCOVERED on the person's property IN THE ACT OF or after injuring or killing the persons livestock animal or damaging the persons crops and that person killed or injured the animal AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY. If you're still confused, go re-read what happened including the difference of decomposition of the sheep & Zeak.

@kissmyass1013 I'm not confused at all, I know what the law is, and I fence my dogs for their protection because I know people like Mr. Klatt exist and what they will do. I know if my dogs are loose, the law will be on his side.
If you had kept your dogs contained this would have never happened.

So this stupid woman moves in next door to a sheep farm, allows her large dogs to just run loose, and then gets mad when the farmer shoots her dogs for going after his sheep. What exactly did she think the result or her irresponsible actions and lack of proper care for her dogs would be? Such an irresponsible woman has no business owning a dog. The guy may be a jerk, but hanging killed predators on fences is very common in the southwest and has been for a hundred years.

@MissDolittle Hope doesn't get out accidentally. I have a very good fence and make sure she doesn't. I unlike this irresponsible person that has no business owning a dog take proper care of any animals in my care and assure their safety. If she were to get out and be shot I would be devastated, but unlike this irresponsible owner I would place full blame on myself, not start an internet campaign against someone else who is simply protecting his livestock from my personal predator.

@KillerNetDog OK, you want to argue the facts, lets argue the facts: first dog that was shot was shot in the dog's owner's drive way, not on the shooter's property. In addition, the dog was quite old and ill and not capable of what he was accused of, namely killing sheep. -----continues -----
MissDolittle 1 month ago 2
@MissDolittle Fact? Nobody saw the dog shot in the driveway, that is "opinion" when it was much more likely shot in the mans pasture and escaped and made it home to it's driveway, It is "speculation" that the dog was shot in it's own driveway, not fact. And an old dog is quite capable of killing a sheep. It can run, it has teeth.. speculation, not fact. You are very very short on fact, and very long on speculation.

@KillerNetDog For your information Mr. Know-it-all, Boy was in FACT shot on my property. The deputy PROVED that and it is in the police report. He was 12 years old, dying of a tumor, was on medication to make him comfortable and limped on his back left leg. And here's the kicker, you're probably so ignorant like Mr. Klatt that you still don't believe the facts and still believe Boy could have chased down a sheep and I suppose he ate it all too because Mr. Klatt could not produce a sheep that Boy

@Tribal1119Thunder I think my energy would be put to better use to lobby the Texas state legislature to make it illegal in the entire state to allow your dogs to run loose.

You are no better than the man that did this. If he's 'protecting' his livestock, fine but make sure
Tribal1119Thunder 1 month ago
@Tribal1119Thunder I never said it was ok for him to shoot her dog, THE LAW said it was ok. It's not ok by me. But it also not ok to allow your dogs to run loose with no confinement. It is in fact against the law to do so in most places. It is idiotic to continue to allow your dog to run loose after your sick neighbor already killed one, and allow him to kill the other 6 months later because you still were too stupid to confine your dog. Keep your dog fenced and safe.

She has zero business owning a dog and not caring for it, only she could have prevented the deaths.

@antivax2 In Texas, he can legally shoot and kill you too if you go on his property and threaten him or his livestock.
The woman moved in next to him with two large dogs, did not fence them in, and should not have been surprised when they went on the mans property and he killed them, as any sheep farmer would do. Dogs are second only to coyotes in slaughtering tens of thousands of sheep in Texas each year. The woman was very irresponsible as a dog owner, and her poor dogs and kids paid for it.

@antivax2 In Texas you are within your rights to defend yourself with lethal force if someone is on your property with intent to do you bodily harm. Quite simple really. Reality is you have no idea what the dog did, nor does his owner, as neither of you witnessed what happened. This is why you don't let your dogs run loose, because they often meet bad ends. If you let them run loose you have nobody to blame but yourself if they meet a tragic end.

no their dogs may not be especially if they have moved. However, you can keep this video going and use it to help create community awareess and get better and stronger laws in place. Animals are no longer considered 'property' and their torture and death no longer 'vandalism'. This is awful. PETA is not perfect, however, they do put the fear in to the law makers. Sometimes you simply have to take what you need and what you can use from a group and use other groups for other things

@mks281 I would do nothing, I've seen thousands of dogs, coyotes, foxes and other predators hanging on ranchers fences for all my 53 years growing up in Texas and New Mexico. It's normal part of rural life. It's also normal to expect that if you allow two large dogs to roam loose that they will not be alive for long, especially right next door to a sheep farm. Not many dogs can resist chasing sheep, and eventually killing every last sheep in the flock.

Naturally, I don't agree with the dogs being displayed, but the truth is there is probably some long history in this situation that is being omitted. That is usually the case. I believe that animal owners should be held legally liable for the acts of the animals that they fail to keep at home. The worst offenders happen to be dog owners. They see dogs as extensions of their own aggression, and usually shout foul when their victims finally get fed and retaliate. In short, keep your dogs at home.

He is Sadistic and cruel lacking human compassion. psyco path. No empathy or respect for life. Neighbor=seriel killer

And to whomever responded that they can sue in small claims court without a lawyer-- Dogs are considered property. With minimal value. So they sue, they win $200.00 and the guy never pays. Now how exactly is that justice?

@Kwinnypoo Since dogs are considered property, small claims court may be the only one that will hear the case. I didn't say it was a good solution, but in most states, the max you can sue for is $5,000. That would certainly get the creep's attention, I'm sure.

Absolute insanity. This Randy guy is a total psychopath. Killing and torturing animals is usally the first step in much worse. Please, if at all possible, move away from this man! And to whomever posted Mr. Klatt's contact info. Thank you. Now if only I lived in Texas... ... ... ...

How can someone "claim" it attacked his sheep and not have proof and do something like this? If there is no proof then he has no cause to get away with it.
