OK, the radio station just got done reading on-air the highlights of a 2 page letter that the chicken owner wrote to the radio station. He recounts how in 2010 his wife was attacked in her yard by a pitbull (not belonging to the chihuahua owner) and he ended up having to shoot & kill it to stop the attack, which injured his wife. Both he and his wife are over 65 years old and have health problems. He had told all of his neighbors, including chihuahua lady, about the pitbull attack and informed all that he did not want any loose dogs on his property because his wife was now afraid of dogs and feared injury from same. He also said that CL (chihuahua lady) was well aware that her dogs annoyed him because they barked and nipped at his heels every day when he went out to get his mail. When the CL dogs killed his chicken, they were INSIDE the pen and his wife was injured when she went out to try to drive the dogs out of the chicken pen. When he called CL, she said that her dogs would NEVER do such a thing.... to which he replied "Then I guess you won't mind if I shoot the dogs that did it". At that time she called her dogs home.
The stupid radio folks (Dana and Parks) are STILL supporting the CL, well they have certainly never been my favorites, I think that usually their privates must be raw from riding the proverbial fence. They seem more upset that the chicken owner accused the media of not exploring all the facts (gee, does that happen??????)
Agree!
Oh yes, if non-chicken people only understood how we chicken people feel when a dog kills our pet chickens. The owner of the dog that killed 4 of my 5 girls, one of which I had put to sleep because of her injuries told me when I took the vet bill to him that it was ridiculous that I took a chicken to the vet and when I asked him what was I supposed to do with my poor girl with mulitple puncture wounds and a gaping hole on her back, his reply was I sould have brought her to him and he would have killed her. I can still see this man's face and will never forget that in my life. I was too stunned to say anything like if your dog had been injured would you kill it yourself (and yes I know there are a lot of farmers and country people who do put down their injured and sick animals and I totally understand, I can't do it but I don't think anything bad if you do do it). But I do not see this man or his family killing their pet dog. Yes they are chickens but they are my pets and are treated just as well as my cats! I think the lady should be punished, if it had been her dogs who were attacked you can sure bet she would be throwing a fit!
