Should a farmer have the right to shoot a dog they believe has harmed one of their livestock

It is an age old question which divides many people. A wandering dog enters a barnyard or field and threatens or kills some of the livestock.

Should a farmer have the right to shoot this dog without any notice to the owner or any proof that that particular dog has carried out the attack.

Do you think it is right or wrong?

Should the farmer try to catch the dog and return him/her to their owner?

Who is at fault?
