Nightmare comes to life

Why would you shoot these particular dogs?
They didn't do anything wrong...their owners on the other hand should have had their property secure.

Those particular dogs were a threat. I would have shot them if they were chihuahuas. Especially if my two dogs were outside... I protect my animals at all costs. You’re right it’s the owners fault... but that doesn’t change anything.

One can't know what the owner's "thought" unless they said it.

She said the owners were laughing. That to me implies that they were less than bothered so what does it matter her choice of adjectives.

It’s all about RESPONSIBLITY.
I would Never put my dogs in the back of a pickup ever! If I HAD to they'd be secured.
Let alone laugh as they went after someone’s else’s animals.
I VALUE my pets. Their SAFETY is my responsibility.
There have been ignorant owners who don’t value animals since the word PET was invented. Where I live we have the right to protect our livestock. We give each other warnings after all where neighbors (usually it’s only one neighbor) so if this neighbor doesn’t get his act together, fence his dogs if he DOESNT value them then they will get shot. If a dog went after my neighbors child I’d do the same damn thing. I’m responsible I value my chickens. I help my neighbors do the same.
So you say why should the dogs pay the price.....why should the chickens??? Some IGNORANT people just hafta’ Learn on a ignorant level. I’m so done

EXACTLY

As some of you know I have 6 bantam cochin frizzels and i bought 4 baby orpingtons that were a few weeks old. I had them all for months now and they were growing up together nice and starting to look like adults. They were my babys they would eat out of my hand and follow me around just because I was mother hen. Last month on july 15th me and my father were in a serious accident when some one wanted to blow through a stop sign at 60 and hit us head on shoving us under the bed of a logging truck. I dont have many if any memories from the accident but with how bad it was they didnt expect me or my father to make it to the hospital .They life flighted us both and just like we always do we both fought to live. In that time my friend took care of my babys for me after the accident my boyfriend decided to step up and move in to help take care of me and my animals because i have a seriously broken foot and needed surgery along witg my left side of my face was shattered too. That got surgery as well but im on bed rest until christmas time and im hoping not much later then that. Every day since ive been home i take my 45 min walk to go outside and sit with my little ones. Yesterday broke my heart though. My boyfriend brought a dog here that since day one has tried to kill my chickens. I told him the hound needed to go because of it and he started looking for a home for him. In the mean time hes been kept on a chain away from the house and at night he slept in a crate in the trailer . we went to have my foot looked at yesterday and by the time we got home the hound was outside and coming to great the truck and my heart just sank . i was mad instaly i seen feathers everywhere. He killed everyone of my babys but 3 that managed to get away some how. A flock of 18 and im left with 3 babys and my 2 pet roosters. The dog killed them for fun and stacked most of them in the same spot. Yesterday was hard for me. Still is i went out and fed them this morning and my heart was just broken . life takes over some times and everything goes out of control. That dog is gone now and for good but I wont ever have my babys back. I buried them in the sunflower patch yesterday and spent the rest of the night quite and crying. I know some say these things happen but i tried so hard to protect my flock and still managed to fail tthem i wont let it happen again. Love your little fluff butts a little extra today for me and always stay conscious about who brings dogs around or even dogs in the neighborhood. I have 3 dogs of my own that would never do this and never have. One day at a time though.

I'm so sorry! Although this is a "normal" fact of life, it's still heartbreaking. I'm new to this and am spending a lot of time with the chooks. It's hard Not to love them. I'm so sad for your loss but am thankful that You & your Dad are still with us and on the mend. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I don’t do passive aggressive. There was no typo. Say whatever your gonna say be sure to add a winky-smiley face so it looks good. Then move on with your day. I have. Life’s too short.

“Laughing” kinda gave me a clue....but that’s just me...

So fast forward a year. The irresponsible neighbors. Nurtured his dogs. Put up a fence. His wife now keeps chickens. His dogs did not get shot. There was no idle threat involved. All this....and the chickens are still dead. So you tell me

brrrr...cold in here...
