Wait so if they just keep running and don't understand where the shock is coming from they'll keep getting shocked? No wonder they flipped and started killing shit. I don't wanna come off as harsh because your situation sucks but I've gotta think properly training them, getting an outside cage or fence or whatever would've prevented this ez. Of course that's in hindsight. Either way, losing a pet(s) always sucks regardless of circumstances, so I'm sorry.
u insane? if they get within 2 meters of the perimeter they get shocked. If they ignore that 1 shock, pass the perimeter and leave, they will only get a shock coming in again. but not a continuous shock. Its just a wire that is the perimeter, once they cross it the shocking is done

Holy fuck, that's a lot of deer
What type of dogs are they?

And yeah how is a dog going to figure out what it has to do to make those annoying shocks stop? Makes no sense. Didn't understand how it would work at first, but that is insane. So these dogs go crazy at being shocked and they run many kilometers. How the hell is the shocking ever going to stop?
and fucking lol
Anyway shock collars and invisible fences don't work that way. And dogs know what they are. You set them up initially with flags surrounding the perimeter. Dogs learn fast that going near that area means a buzz. The collars we have give an audible warning first, giving our dogs time to move away. Our oldest figured out if she ran at top speed she could get through the field in the time between the warning tone and the zap, so we had to increase the width of the field to max. So dog approaches buried wire, hears tone. Dog continues, zap. Dog ignores it and keeps going? It can happen. Once past the wire, no more zap.
I'm laughing here trying to figure out how you think these things work. If the dog is miles away from home, how does the collar know to shock? You think its default is shock and it does so unless it is within range of some signal or something? Or it has a GPS and shocks if the dog is away from home? Amazing.

That sucks man, but If I were you I wouldn't get such big dogs unless in you can maintain and control them. My neighbour was once babysitting a friends pitbull. I was out in the back playing with my cat, I was only like 11. The guy was walking the Pitbull, he couldn't hold on the leash when it saw my cat. The Pitbull tore open the front of my cat and mangled him up before, me, my brother, my mom and dad ran away the pitbull with about 30 shots to its head with a metal shovel. When the Humane society came, they said we shouldn't have even tried, as Pitbulls have skulls like Steel.
Luckily our cat lived, and lived another healthy six years afterwards with only a slight odd step in his walk.
My point is, that dogs are a huge responsibility when they are of that size and force. and the pitbull had to be put down, because they weren't even legal in our city -_-

Should have dug into the dog instead of hitting it with a flat side. Shovel should be sharp enough to methodically chop at the neck and separate the head. Then you extract the cat.
And about the OP - I would love to read the news report, this will definitely make the local newspaper.

Most fucked up dog story I've ever read...

This.
It's hard to believe that they killed 37 deers, but if you think that they'd have done it in two days that could be possible. but i don't understand why they would do this wtf

Wait a minute, how did zoo officials not notice a drop in their deer population after a day? (Or do I just know nothing about how a zoo works?)
|
I read this over and over, and yet I still cannot comprehend the entire process of two dogs breaking out, getting to zoo, and somehow killing 37 deer-like creatures over two days. Crazy.

That really sucks =/ its never fun to lose pets.
The 37 deer is still remarkable, but considering that they were difficult to catch, with one eventually tangling with the buffalo that might be in a different "cage" or area, the zoo seems like it may not have the most well defined partitions between animals. I mean how did the dogs get into the deer section in the first place? I feel like the 37 deer may have been more caused by chaos caused by the dogs, the deer freaking out and maiming / killing themselves, running into walls or on top of each other into a moat in an effort to get away. Maybe the dogs themselves did aggressively kill one or two, or maybe the dogs themselves were scared and did so out of fear, but you simply don't hear about animals killing others simply for the sake of it, especially attacking a herd in an unfamiliar territory.
Anyway, still sorry for your loss, pretty unbelievable story. Its even crazy that they could get to a neighboring town that quickly, its not like they could've known where they were going. Huh.

Don't forget about the part where one of the dogs gets out of the deer pen, into the BUFFALO PIT and gets trampled to death!

This is rather shocking news. I know I'd feel horrible if my dog passed away. However, my first instinct after reading your blog, as a dog owner, is that you didn't properly train your dogs. The only person to blame here is you for your lack of discipline.
I understand that you're in a rural area but shouldn't your dogs be subservient to you? They heal at your side, they sit when told, don't maul 37 deer unless commanded, etc.
I hope I'm wrong and that this is just a total freak accident with your otherwise obedient dogs.

yea, MY dog is the one that stays in the property at all times and never attacks any animals. The other 2 dogs, one was a stray female that was clearly traumatized and the other was a dog i've known for bout 2 months and who's from a litter that was clearly fucked up as all his brothers are dead (put down for various reasons)
MY dog is in the kitchen right now sleeping, MY dog would herd those deer like creatures cuz hes weird like that (i've seen him herd sheep and horses....yeah)
anyways the stray we picked up, I always felt something was off about her and you could hardly discipline her cuz she would just get depressed and stop eating. The other one was adorable but dumb as fuck and no matter how many times you try to teach him shit, he wouldnt understand.
BTW the deer fence's base was a meter underground, so the dogs dug down to get under the fence with the clear intention to kill

M-M-M-M-MONSTER KILL !!
No but seriously, 37 ? Did they think they were in danger or whatever ? No previous aggressions of any kind or aggressive behaviour beforehand ?
Wtf -_- !

I fail to understand why people still keep big dogs as pet, it's fortunate that they killed 37 deers and not 37 kids in the zoo.
If you want a pet, choose a little cute puppy, a rabbit or better, a kitty. Big dogs must be restricted for the professionals only.

wow 37 deer?! Imagine all the blood...

Small dogs are not even dogs, they like rats to me. If you are afraid of dogs don't get one.
