How horrible they killed it with a baseball bat. HORRIBLE. I know it attacked their animal but couldn't they have scared it some other way? Ridiculous.

They say it attacked their dog. What was the dog doing out at 2:00am ? The animal warden should look a little closer into this. Usually a barking dog will tree them, unless it's rabid. But a bat??? Shame.

Not at 2:00 am. That would be child abuse in and of itself.
