1. ““There is no law in Oklahoma that gives a person the right to shoot a dog for chasing deer, and until such a law is en acted, we must consider the action taken by the defendant to be in violation of 21 O.S.1961 § 1685. This Court certainly does not condone the killing of deer by packs of dogs that are left to run wild by their owners. However, in the instant case we do not feel that this was true. These were trained wolf hounds that were running a wolf trail and the defendant admitted shooting them and then driving off. He did not even take the time to see if they had been killed outright. He knew that he had hit the dogs and he was willing to let them drag themselves off and suffer and die. The trial court felt that this was cruelty to animals, and we can but agree.””
