I have a particular neighbor that is extremely ignorant about letting their dog run loose in the street and sometimes when my wife and I walk by the dog comes charging out at us. My wife becomes petrified each time and the neighbor does nothing to restrain the animal. What if I was walking with a large retic, the dog hassles me, and I let the snake kill the dog in self defense? Can I be charged with anything since after all, I was just protecting myself? I realize it would be extremely bad publicity so don't worry, I have no intention of walking a giant retic around the hood. This is just a hypothetical what if scenario.
