Last Tuesday morning I got up to get the kids on the bus and start my morning chores and prepare my meaties to go to butcher later that morning. Next thing I know I have my youngest son come tearing into the house saying that our dog was bloody and not moving. My first thought was he had a scuffle with a coon through the night. My husband and I go out to him and he was paralyzed from the neck down and was bleeding from an open wound on the head. Then I look over and see all 25 of my meaties dead. Some of them bloody and tore open, some just lying in a heap. They were in a tractor that had 2x3 welded wire fencing layered with chicken wire. Whatever it was just ripped the fencing like it was fabric. Once it got into the meaties it just broke their necks, never ate any of them. I later learned that the local 911 dispatch office received several calls that same night of 2 pitt bulls running loose and terrorizing other dogs. The pitt bulls were never caught, but I know whose they are...but I can't prove that it was those dogs who killed our birds and dog.
My question is how can I increase the security of my tractor? Those dogs just pulled the 3/4" staples out like nothing or even broke the welded areas of the fence. Should I sandwich the fencing between the wood framing?
Thanks in advance!
