Oh yes, Truman is it still like that.  Remember, I am on the cattle farm.  Just last year we had a cow calving, and sure 'nough, a *pack* of three domestic turned evil dogs came along.  Well, they killed the calf, and chewed the rear end out of the poor cow.  She died as well.  Those dogs...well they went back to where they lived....but I am not sure they are still living today.  This same bunch killed a neighbors entire herd of goats.  One thing that will fix that...target practice.
