You should have shot it. Put an end to it quick.

Hindsight I wish I did. I didn’t realize the damage that was being done and I was worried he might come out with a gun.

Some good mace could be effective while also being less drastic and legally complicated.

Mace will not stop a real dog fight. Shooting a dog that is attacking you or your property is not legally complicated.

I've seen videos of mace working on a real dog fight. Discharging a firearm is a big deal and can endanger bystanders, could be within city limits, etc. Your dog is your property and not your life and it absolutely can be legally complicated. Stop talking out of your ass.

If mace worked, it wasn't a real dog fight.

People think a lot of noise and drama is a "dog fight" and have never seen or had to break up a real one.
