Yeah, livestock isn't a problem, and it's provided for in the law, but I don't know about taking our 20 lb. terrier for a walk in an urban neighborhood when some 80 pound mutt gets out of the yard and charges full speed straight towards us. What am I supposed to do, wait until it mains or kills our dog before I decided it's "dangerous"?

Technically it is better if your dog is being attacked vs your child from what I can gather. Realistically though you do what you need to do. I was walking our Akita (with one of those spiked choker collars) when a dog broke free from a neighbors house. He yells at me "don't worry, he won't hurt your dog". I yell back "it's not my dog I am worried about". No longer have the Akita but I sometimes walk with a Sjambok.

From what I can gather it is a better defense to prosecution if the animal is attacking your "livestock" (your dog). Ask Rick Perry.
