My dachshund killed a bird today in front of me before I could stop him. The dog was puzzled when I reacted badly. I know he's doing what he was born to do and simply does not know any better than to bark incessantly and crush birds and other blameless small prey between his overly large, powerful jaws. After all, he was bred to follow badgers down holes in the dirt and kill them. So I cannot blame my dog for his behavior.
