Three out of four of my beautiful girls were killed tonight by two dogs. I stepped outside a moment too late. Just in time to watch them take their last breaths. Ruby had hidden in the nest box and had all of her tail feather pulled out. Only the dogs head could fit in. He climbed the ladder into the coop. I caught the dogs. Police came and called animal control. Animal control came and picked up the dogs. Said he has picked them up several times for killing chickens and cats. I am planning on doing whatever I can to make sure these dogs don't kill another pet. I can't get anywhere with the police...they said I have to go through civil court. I'm just looking for advice about does and donts when pressing charges.
Please no comments on how my fence wasn't secure enough and i didn't protect my girls. I realize that. I am to blame. I just want to know how best to prevent someone else from feeling the way I do tonight.
Thanks for any suggestions.
