Dog / Human Conflict

[centrarchid]

Yes I know the cops know whats going on already but they haven't done anything about it yet. The op could go to a county commission meeting and speak in an official capacity about this ongoing problem.Maybe since they pay the cops salary they can authorize them to do more. Sorry but I've read all 64 pages .

To have changes in county statutes takes time, and evidence to support effort. Dogs being out, is not always a problem, especially with working dogs.


Somehow the threshold needs to be lowered for taking action against offending owners and their dogs. Shooting is so impractical when you have to have a gun in hand when a dog visits. I have several firearms (rifles and shotguns) but do not carry them with me at all times nor do I want my young kids using them. I do not have a sidearm and do not feel comfortable trying to get a head shot from range I typical shoot dogs.

If I did not leave yard to work and do other things, then shooting would be far more practical.

Well, could you carry one with you for a week or so? Just long enough to catch a dog in the act.

Regardless of why or when you don't carry a gun your neighbors are the last people who need to know.

Guy beside of us tormented the woman we bought it from and tormented us until we sold it but after Hells Angels got it he decided it wasn't worth fighting for anymore. Sounds like your neighbors need to learn how to keep their dogs home.

Didn't the dog visit 3 times on the day of this last incident? Being chased home on at least one visit?
Seems like more then enough of a chance to grab a rifle from the house.
Idk maybe moving should be looked into if shooting isn't a route you're willing to take. This seems never-ending without action.

Shiner, some additional details for minnie macho stud. First two visits I was not present, only my kids and they are too young to be packing. Third visit I was unloading vehicle and yard work so had no hands free to carry firearm. Get with the program. You tough with the keyboard when not having to deal with the crazies yourself.

He's dealt with plenty of crazies. Promise. He lives in MO, too.

tough with the keyboard huh?
Can be. Hell with as many times as these dogs have visited I could have beaten them all to death with my keyboard by now.
Maybe you can hire a guy like me to come solve this drama for ya?

 

[centrarchid]

Not the same dogs. Three different owners. These people are crazier than shiner. He appears to have constructive interest and otherwise stays well hidden.

"otherwise stays well hidden"
And yet you seem to always be able to take a shot at me.
But dogs terrorizing or killing your birds, not so much,
