It can depend what state you live in. And probably also if the dog bites anyone. Just shooting a dog because it's on your lawn probably is not a good idea since it may not be against the law in your state but the owner (your neighbor) probably has a gun too.

∙ 14y agoNo, that is considered animal abuse and they can be arrested. If they want to get rid of the dog, they should have a vet 'put it to sleep'. Or give it to someone else/put it in a shelter. Never end a dog's life so barbarically

What do you do if your dog has attacked livestock?
You need to make sure your dog never gets loose again so it does not get into that situation again. You need to talk with the livestock owner and offer to pay for damages if the livestock was killed or if the attack causes veterinary expense to the owner. I do not know where you live but in our state a livestock owner has the right to shoot and kill any dog that is either chasing or attacking their livestock. You as the owner would be responsible for your dog being killed since you allowed it into the situation.
