What are my Rights: I am rather New to chickens and still learning. My neighbor has about 40 dogs. She feeds them once per day, usually at night. So, I think the dogs stay hungry. The dogs bark like if they are singing in a chorus-day and night and much more when she is about to feed them. Suddenly, the dogs stop barking all at once and at the same time. They are reproducing themselves over and over. We live out in the country along the bank of the Rio Grande. Our fence goes all the way to the bank of the river and thru dense cane that grows along the river bank. There are 4-5 dogs, I notice are the same ones that keep managing under the fence to my house. My gardener witnessed her dogs killing 7 chickens out of 16 that I had, plus a beautiful huge Americuana rooster). I buried all my chickens and confronted her. She said if I didn't have pictures of her dogs I did not have proof her dogs killed my chickens and that for now, she was sorry for my loss. She texts me to tell me that while I was gone, she sees other dogs go into my yard. Unfortunately, I am home all week and I never see other dogs other than hers in my yard. Recently, her dogs killed another rooster. My chickens are fenced in to the far end of my yard away from her side of the yard and way from the corner where she keeps her dogs. Everyone along this area has guns, rifles or weapons for defense from people crossing to the USA. Unfortunately, I am the only one, so far, that does not have a weapon because I do not have experience with them and fear hurting myself or others with it. Another neighbor shot and killed one of her many dogs a while back because the dog went into his yard and started biting the legs of a goat. He called the Sheriff and she got a citation for not keeping her dogs in her yard and injuring the goat. The dogs keep coming to finish eating any left over food my cats leave behind at night, sometimes during the day. However, my gardener convinced me to buy a BB Gun to scare the dogs. I did. I shoot at them. They keep coming anyway. The BB Gun is not working. Again, the dogs killed another rooster. I went to a Sports Academy Store in San Antonio Texas to inquire about purchasing a 22. I was told I would be suit if I shoot and killed a dog because a dog is not edible while a chicken can be killed because it is, just like anyone can kill a cow to eat but you can not shoot a horse. I was furious and came home upset because this dogs position themselves like they will attack me should I get near them when they are in my yard and they bark at me. So, can anyone tell me what I should do or what are my Rights or should I just use the 3S Rule?
