    R.I.P. Rufus. The scary part of this too, is the fact they say someone who would kill animals like that are a prelude to doing much worse as time goes by. Offer a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of who did that. Someone might just tell on someone, especially if there is a reward plus their conscience is eating at them.

    I haven’t watched your channel before but this was difficult to witness, and my heart goes out to your family. Irresponsible hunters are the cause of so many animal deaths, and poachers as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was shot for his fleece, but they took off when they realized they couldn’t get into the pen. It happens in Amish country where I live, people poach for all sorts of odd reasons, and some people are just sick. Hunters shot my aunts dog. It’s hard for me to feel safe in the woods anymore with stuff like this. Rest Easy, Rufus. You were obviously loved.

If there is one, but then you’ll at least it’s not safe for any animals there. Maybe the sheriff’s office could help because if he was shot, I’m sure he wasn’t the only one shot in the area.

      I agree, and that's why I'm afraid to leave my house. I live in what used to be a small town in Arkansas. That's why we moved here many years ago-because it was a nice, small town, and it was close to our grown children and grandchildren BUT in the last 5 years, our nice, small town has nearly tripled in size and has been elevated to a small city, no longer a town! I no longer feel safe with everything going on in the world, and people are just turning into monsters and like you said "they're multiplying". So, I only leave my house for doctors appointments or vet appointments. I'm 60 years old and have been disabled for many years now, but I used to go go go anywhere, and I loved it! Not anymore...terrifies me!
      I, too, am sorry you lost your beautiful family member, Rufus. Being a retired State Trooper, you'll figure it out and bring swift punishment to the person or persons who did this horrendous act of cowardice to a purely innocent animal. I also believe that lsaac being stolen and Rufus being killed were done by the same person/persons!

      Years ago, my brother owned a quarter horse and rehomed her to a pasture closer to our home in Gladewater. After a couple months, the mare and her colt settled in. Then, one day, he noticed she had her limping. She had been shot. This occurred during deer hunting season. When the police were informed, they said someone probably thought "she", the mare, was a deer. WTH!! Conclusion: Everyone on the Earth is not sane. They're a few nuts running around with guns. And, apparently, they don't the differnce between a deer or a quarter horse nor do they care. I understand your pain and anxiety. Rufus, may be gone, but his life shall longer than his tragic end.

      @Lindsay I do agree that bullets go far and there's a good chance it's a stray shot at something other than their animal. However I do believe it's ok to say what you're suspicious of, as long as you remember that you don't know for sure until you have proof, and sometimes knowing for sure isn't gonna happen. There's a lot of times that keeping your words to yourself is best, but sometimes it's ok to say what you think as long as you remember there's a chance you're wrong.

    Well, I cried for you Daniel ! It’s so hard for me to think that someone would want to hurt a sweet defenseless animal. But again , there are some pretty mean and hurtful people out there. Someone may have done it just because they are mean and hurtful people. If there are people out there that can go into a grade school and kill small children there is someone that can kill Rufus. My heart just goes out to you and your family at this time. I know it’s got to hurt so much to lose one of your sweet animals. Yes, we loved Rufus. He was just so much a part of your family. And our viewer family. We loved him too. I am just so sorry to hear this terrible news. God speed to all of you. I love you guys and I will say a little prayer for you guys. Keep up the videos.

    Just saw this video first time, I'm sorry for your loss. I know how it feeling to lose a pet, my dog named Nico pass away from old age he was 14-years-old. There are sign that show that a animal was shot but sometime it's not all the case, for example. Blood stain fur/wool but since Rufus didn't have a sign of blood it's probably the wool keeping the blood from getting through the wool (sometime) so there maybe a bullet hole in Rufus that couldn't heal because of the bullet and infection. My prays goes out to you and your big family (human and animal family).

He had spoken to the owner and warned him, if they came on my brother's land he'd shoot them. The guy tried to get the law involved but they said my brother was right on.

That entire time my two dogs never barked but then they both started looking in the same direction and barking and probably 30 seconds later the loudest single gun shot went off. Now I have to mention that I do live in the country so I hear gun shots here and there but I was how loud this one was . Someone walked up on my property and shot a gun! Not only so I have animals but two kids ages five and one . You handled it way better than I would ! People are sick in the world !

We are building a house in Tuskahoma on 40 acres and have had theft after theft, cameras, building supplies and recently a skid steer that our builder left over night. We even put up cellular cameras and they shot the cameras out. We live on our property now but rarely do we all leave at the same time for fear of coming back to find we've been robbed again. Not the life we envisioned when we moved to the country and it make us angry.

      My father works in construction and they rented a skid steer and someone stole it within the same week after renting it. Thankfully there were two GPSs on it. The losers ripped one of the GPSs off but the other one they never found or knew about it. Such a good idea to have two on all equipment. So when my dad pulled up to this nice gated community and his job site at 5am in the morning they looked it up and it was already 4 hours away in Houston at some job site. And cops were watching it. So crazy. These losers nowadays just want to steal nobody is honest anymore.
