Indiana law and protecting your flock from domestic animals (Dogs)

[csaws]

I have a question regarding Indiana law and a comment I saw in this area earlier. If there is a dog threatening our chickens do we have a right to kill it? We were told that Indiana (in 2008 or 2009)put a law into affect that will not allow us to kill a dog for threatening our ladies, however it was by a huge animal rights activist that I work with, so I took it with a grain of salt.

I'm not sure about Indiana, but you might want to call your county or city animal control officer. I did that when we had a problem with our neighbor's dog. The animal control officer was very helpful about what rights we have both for killing the animal and getting compensation for any losses.
