I am BEYOND angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:<

[Daddas1Punkin]

This morning my dad woke up to my cousin's voice. He said he sounded angry. He was yelling at our neighbor. Our neighbor's stupid dog jumped the fence, into our back yard, over the chickens' fence, and killed 2 of our 7 chickens, and seriously injured. My cousin had to put the others out of their misery. Which really upset him. He is an army soldier but he is the biggest sweetheart you'll ever meet. We now have two chickens... They are highly upset. They somehow managed to get into the coop and when the dog tried to come in, the coop door slammed on it's head. So Josie and Mitzi are the lucky ones. That dog is psycho... It constantly runs in circles, and the owners don't even care enough to keep it in the yard. Now it's in a 5' x 5' pen. Our neighbor said if that ever happens again, shoot it, call him and he'll come get the body... No cops, no questions... That is a very terrible owner right there... Don't even get me started on that... I am so far beyond angry, but hopefully chicken people understand. I raised some of those chickens from 3 days old. They were my babies. One of them would run up to you and sit on your lap and go to sleep, or walk around on your shoulder. She would follow me around like a puppy dog... She was my baby! The others we had for three years. They were very special to us also. I could go on for days, but I just needed to get it off my chest. I was in bed still. (It was 6:15) trying to wake up, but I would have yelled to bad if I was out there! I am so angry!!!!!!
They better hope that their dog never gets one of our dogs, or I WOULD shoot it myself! That is very unlike me, but if you hurt my baby, that's it!

Sorry for your loss. Dogs are a constant concern around here, and in most places I guess.

I am so sorry for your loss.
While it sounds good that the neighbor said what they did, nope - call the police, file a report and seek restitution for your lost livestock - it will also put the matter on record as far as the dog so that if/when there are any future instances of the dog being loose/out (even w/out accosting someone's animals) there is record of this incident. The only reason they don't want the police called is because they know that they are at fault and could be facing ramifications for failure to contain/control their dog....it isn't *you* they are looking out for there, it is themselves.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm glad you had two survive (considering the damage) I think many, many of us know exactly how attached we all get and it's just plain unfair when other people don't care. I hope it never happens again.

Oh, that is so sad. I'm so sorry! I live out in the country, but I have a bad neighbor too. Our properties are pretty far apart, but he refuses to chain his dog and the dog came over, ran into our back yard and grabbed a hen once. I was lucky to notice it right away and I screamed, the dog dropped the hen and ran away. The neighbor's wife promised to keep the dog either chained or in a fenced area, but the husband and son let the dog loose all the time. It's very annoying. I feel your pain!

Hugs and I'm very sorry....I think I would take that man to small claims court. At the very least, he should pay for the hens that were killed by the dog....

First let me say how sorry I am for your losses. With that said, it would be to your benefit if you 1) take pictures...lots of pictures and 2) you call the police and MAKE A REPORT! Why? Because if you don't and you do end up shooting the dog you will have it on record that the dog was a menace.

I find it very odd that your neighbor said shoot the dog, no cops, no questions.....hmm, very odd. As most everyone here on the BYC forum knows of me my motto is, and always will be:

S - S - S

Shoot - Shovel - Shut Up

Again so very sorry, please keep us updated as to the outcome with that scumbag dog.

For the reason below, we won't cause trouble... Aw, you're lucky that you were out there!

We wouldn't shoot it... I was just saying what he said. We will not call the police, for the simple fact that our neighbors are gang members and we don't want to stir up trouble with them. Thanks : )

is it worth having to live in constant fear?
