I had 2 local dogs get lose and kill a whole bunch of my chicken. These chicken represented 3 generations of breeding Breese here in my town.
The animal control didn't show up, but the local PD, the animal control was closed. Bottom line is the city gave the dogs owner a ticket, and I'm on my own to collect damages.
What's the best way to do this. I spoke to.the dogs owners, but husband doesn't seem too keen on this whole situation. Am to go to my county courthouse and file a lawsuit?
How much do I say the birds are worth? Is all my time in breeding worth nothing? Is my anguish and kids anguish with nothing?
I don't really know how to start here. I started with a dozen hatching eggs 2 years ago. I lost everything, and It was awful.
Please, anyone who's been through this, it knows how the laws work with respect to this kind of thing, please chime in.
Thanks, Tom
