From the article:

Police have said that this cruel senseless man, "apparently" thought Peppa was a wild dog, and claims he shot her from a distance, then dragged her out in to the open to look at his "trophy cause she was a beautiful looking "wild dog" as he put it, then put her back in the same spot.......and of coarse, claims he had his rifle in a padded bag, and ammo in a separate locked case, in a separate area, conveniently as per firearm regulations.


And then more from tomorrow's local paper, the Latrobe Valley Express:

(snip)

"He told us he believed the dog was a wild dog and he didn't see any identification marks," Sergeant Darren Eldridge said.

Ms Grant rejected this, insisting Peppa was wearing a collar and ID tags, which Jason later removed when he found her dead.

Sgt Eldridge said the man involved "expressed a lot of remorse in relation to what has occurred" and police would not pursue the matter further.

(snip)

"It's a valuable lesson dogs should remain on leads."

Sadly, I don't think there's much to be done but to shame the perpetrator, whoever they are.
