My Husky caught and ate a small rabbit and my girlfriend saw it and freaked out.
Having a glass of wine with my girlfriend on the back patio last night while my Husky Sasha is patrolling the perimeter of my fenced in yard, when she stops, digs down a bit, pulls out a very young rabbit which squeaks as she grabs it and then she proceeds to eat it, all while me and my girlfriend are watching. Having had Siberian Huskies for over 20 years this is not an uncommon event for me but it totally traumatized my girlfriend. She if freaking out and yelling at me to do something, I mean, the rabbit is half eaten in less than a minute, what am I suppose to do? I have to be honest and say that it was hard for me not to laugh which luckily I did not.
I am selling my house and have been in this rental for nearly 3 months now and this neighborhood is overrun with rabbits, they are everywhere. I was cutting the grass along this same fence one day and 3 baby rabbits came running out, so this will not be the last time.
How would you handle this? What do I tell her? It will happen again. I would prefer my dog not kill other animals but over the 23 years I have had Siberian Huskies I have seen them kill raccoons, squirrels, opossum, cats, rats, you name it, if it comes into my yard and is not a dog it most likely will not be leaving. (oddly I had a tiny dog get into my yard one day and they were fine with it, I guess they know it's a dog)

I believe it will simply take time for your GF to get used to it. It is strange to see something like that for the first time, but then you come to the realization that it's just nature taking its course. I would continue to talk with her about it and never, ever, laugh about it in front of her!

It was tough not to laugh at her reaction as it was so over the top. Women, can't live without them.Originally Posted by Kevin M

Maybe explain to her that since all dogs are descendent of wolves they were just doing what comes naturally.

My dog caught and ate another one last night, luckily my girlfriend was not there. Should have them thinned out here real quick, no telling how many she has caught that I have not seen.

Has Ms. Traumatized Girlfriend ever owned a cat? They don't simply stand guard and dispatch intruders quickly--they stalk their prey for hours and then torture it to death. The real world is a cold hard place where only the fittest are meant to survive and multiply.

She owns a 13lb pomeranian, don't think she's ever owned a cat. She will learn to adjust as my Husky obviously likes the taste of rabbit.

you were supposed to get the Huskie some Red Wine to wash that hare down..
