Thread: random question re dogs

I just read something from an old post on the other forum about a guys dog getting mauled by pig dogs. Now my question is if that is happening and the hunter decides to defend his dog whether it be with his rifle or knife and kills the offending dog(s) are they justified in doing so and what kind of consequences could you face legally. Personally i would but would like to get some more opinions. Hope i never see it happen but obviously not impossible.

Cheers
