Just the other day I took my dog to the vet for her shots. While Callie was receiving her exam the doc and I started talking about her anxiety. I told her that I teach gun safety and when I pull out my training gun to practice, she will run to my wife and push herself as close as she can into my wife’s side. The doctor proceeds to tell me that she worked at a community animal hospital when starting out. On the weekend drunk parents would bring in their pets with gunshot wounds! These people would get drunk and think that shooting at a moving target was a great way to improve their shooting skills! The doctor told me that she would sometimes see up to eight dogs on a weekend, all of them injured with gunshot wounds by their drunk owners.

Our pets are starting to fight back according to the newspapers.
