    Dog running loose and killed all our chickens, animal control won't call back, what do I do?

    Dear all, Thank you for all your messages. It is very comforting and helpful. I spend all day (week) to look into the matter. Austin has its own city ordinance that supersedes the state law. For those who may live in Austin, here is what I learned that you could do: 1. Animal Control shall...

    Yes her reply was that she is not familiar with writing checks. (She is 24). And she said that there is no point to pay since we told her honestly that we have called animal control. We do have the check. I agree that the dog is untrained, and it is the owners fault to not keep it in safe...
