My condolences to the children who lost their pets, and the rest of the family, too. It appears that we have only half the story - the ending. Where is the beginning and will we ever know it? I know there is more than has been noted in this article, even though I don't know Mr Pilotti or where he lives.

Just another example of cowboy mentality. Shoot first, then ask questions. It seems to me Mr. Pilotti would have been familiar with these dogs, knowing they belonged to his neighbor, and should have known they weren't a threat to his sheep. Now there is a heartbroken family with an irreplaceable loss of their beloved pets. Just senseless.
