I think hiding behind "the dog was just doing what dogs do" is B.S. It's indicative of a dog that hasn't had the proper training to show restraint around other living things.

Nature isn't pretty sometimes - I get that, but the distinction is that with a pet you are deliberately taking an animal OUT of nature and into a human environment with our rules and expectations.

Not a good situation. Glad the neighbors are being forgiving. If it was one of my cats, I know I sure as hell wouldn't be. My cats are indoor ones, FWIW (they only go outdoors occasionally and only when directly supervised with me or my wife standing right there) - maybe there's a bit of irresponsibility on the cat's owners too but the bottom line is YOUR dog killed it because of YOUR dog's lack of restraint.
This is quite an interesting opinion which I am totally unable to understand. Typically, I can comprehend arguments that I disagree with, but not this one.

Sorry.

Best,
