See thats what i would put my money on.

The owner is in a right state at the mo and after the must stuck up of one of her friends has turned around and said "Give him too my husband, he will take him out the way and shoot him", she is beginning to think that putting him down is pretty much her only option.

My personal feelings are to keep him but take him out on his own. He is always fine with me.
Or
Re-home him.
