Heartbroken

[ChaoticCritters]

I feel your pain. My child's pride and joy (a gigantic cochin that laid an egg *maybe* 1x per year and took great pride in pecking me) was decapitated. Neighbor's of course are claiming that it wasn't their dog that has repeatedly escaped and chased our chickens.....guess who was back and had an Americauna IN IT'S MOUTH yesterday?! No apology, no nothing.... just sent their kid over to re-iterate that the decapitated hen had to have been a fox and collect their mutt. Oh and wake me up at the crack of dawn to dump their child off on me, for free babysitting this morning!

Hubby's going over tonight to let them know we have a .22 with a night scope sitting on the counter and that his wife can't tell the difference between coyotes and blue heelers and thinks coyotes wander around in the middle of the afternoon......

I would have shot it with the bird in its mouth , durg the pair to my neigbors and dropped it off on the front porch. Im just that ruthless when it comes to protecting my multiple family members

The authorities don't take the animal laws seriously around here either, I have a problem neighbor who is an arrogant pos and lets his dogs roam for days on end and terrorize the neighborhood, he even used to let his horses roam and get on other's property, he has gotten a couple fines which did no good, he continues to cause problems yet is allowed to keep the animals instead of the sheriff's dept surrendering the strays to the pound or shooting them. I am done with calling them, I have called many times and those complaints will back up my future actions, from now on any of his dogs on my property will be shot.
