I have no idea what happened but as far as I know if the dogs were running loose in an area where there are deer then it’s perfectly legal to shoot them check with the MNR it’s against the law for dogs to be running free in an area where deer are present or could be present except in hunting season and the dogs are licenced.. People should always keep their dogs on a leash if out in the country or even in town.
