Hey everyone! I have a really disturbing issue that has me extremely worried about the well being of my goats. It actually started before I even had them when I had a standard size mule, a donkey, chickens and ducks, and a pig. Someone has been coming out to my house, which is literally in the middle of no where, and playing little pranks on the animals. Well they started out little. The prankster would unlock gates, move leads, and let a bird out hear and there at first. But then they started letting out the pig, mule, and donkey too. As the pranks progressed they cost me my pig when he and the donkey were let out together and he was kicked. I also lost my donkey, but not from the pranks she was afraid of loud noises and we had a horrible storm pass through. The mule went into a depression and I rescued a pony from slaughter to give her another companion. The prankster ended up letting the pony out and he is gone. Has been since Sept. In July though my parents got me my goat Diesel for my birthday, and since he was just a bottle baby he lived in the house and slept next to me at night lol. My dad eventually made me sell my mule, they never got along and he said he didnt trust her. So, by the end of summer Diesel was my only animal left simce I had ended up
giving my chickens and ducks to a family friend whos daughter fell in love with them when visiting us. Well to get to my point when it was time for Diesel to go out we got him a friend so he wouldnt be lonely or freeze in our sub zero winter temps. So, we got Daisy who is 2, Diesel is 8 months now. When they first went out there nothing happened. But now the prankster is back. They have thrown Diesel into the outside part of the pen when our temperatures were -18°F . They have moved the food bins out of the pen, moved objects in the barn, and when I went outside tonight they had tied Daisy to the side of the pen shoved the door to the pen open, and Diesel was let loose in the barn,which had been ransacked. We have called the police, but they said there is nothing they can do since this person/persons has never taken anything from our property or left and evidence of who they are. I am so scared for my babies, we've put locks out there, left the dogs out with them, but this person keeps getting in. Any ideas on what I can do to keep my goats safe? My parents won't let me get a gaurd dog to stay out with them, because its obvious our currents dogs aren't doing very well at gaurding. I can't think of any other animal that would scare this crazy person away other then a lion. I am seriously worried for my goats and any suggestions as to what ii can do to keep them safe would be so greatly appreciated.
