As pack members, the destruction of one will influence the behaviors of the pack as a whole. Drop one, and the rest of the pack WILL be more hesitant. Drop two....
Very wrong. Don't count on that. Dogs do not have to be part of a pack to behave in a feral manner. A lone dog, like a family pet, can turn feral when let out for the night. And they often do.
I have had one encounter with the law in my 72 years. I was once arrested for shooting a dog that had killed three of my registered purebred cattle. The case actually went to trial. I brought in an expert witness who said even family pets often turn feral when allowed to run loose. They can be killers then revert to gentle pets when home again. They do not need to be part of a pack.
BTW, the judge dismissed the charges saying I had a right to protect my property.
As for your best choice of protection. I carried a scoped .243 with frangible bullets in the truck and shot at long distance before they even started coming my way.
