Dog / Human Conflict

[JacinLarkwell]

Yes. All that represents is one of the dogs is coming over. Cops can do nothing unless I contain dog first. Dog pictured is second largest in the group and it belongs to owner of the huskies. It goes to location between pond and sheep pen to bark.

I honestly for a second, thought it was a bear

It is big, but not athletic. Another that is very similar although heavier and darker has hip dysplasia. That second dog is owned by the other neighbor and it is one I busted in act of going after chickens.

This guy, male pit bull came across right after I left for work this morning.

 

[centrarchid]

This evidence makes so I can now start setting up a trap. I needed photographic evidence of continued dogs on property to establish they are not being baited. A larger live trap will be needed and I must be able to get there promptly once dog caught which camera will enable.

The police officer stressed repeatedly I need to be prepared for a civil suit so need to follow a documented protocol that keeps me clear of wrongdoing in eyes of the law.

 

[centrarchid]

Dog trap is going to cost me $250+.

 

[centrarchid]

He is back, literally. Either they have a different path used or camera settings need to be adjusted.

I still cannot believe these are truly the lengths you must go to to have these animals kept off your property.
Your local government has failed you, and that's infuriating.

 

[centrarchid]

Our local government cost less because of fewer services. Typical approach outside of fencing upgrades is to shoot or give up. Most poultry keepers around me have given up.

That is what the gov does.
