I totally get that. If dogs kill our agriculture animals here farmers kill them. It is their livelihood and people need their livestock in order to make a living.
That and you catching their dog and giving it to the dog warden or taking it to the pound if you have one in your area. If you are afraid that the dog might attack you, then that is a different story. Just my opinion.
I was glad to hear that your flock was safe from the bear. It was sad that your neighbor's dog killed so many of them though before. Do you have dog wardens in your state to stop things such as this. We are fortunate that where I am there are no bears but racoons and we do have wardens that...
