The areas that usually allow elimating any animal that strays on to your property are intended to protect domestic property and farm type animals, so if you get a cat or a dog or wild animal that is eating your chickens or detroying your property, the law may allow you to eliminate it.

I lived in 2 different areas one suburban and one farm land, where we had a problem with big dogs coming on our property and either deficating or threating our smaller dogs. When I confronted the owners they told me to shoot the dogs next time they come on my property, naturally as a dog owner I did not do this, I called the animal control and they issued court summons to the dogs owners and they were fined. Eventually the problem went away.
