DiVon (and others)- Please read a quote from Admin terrilelacy's sticky regarding posts in this forum :

*Compassion will go a long way toward helping to educate and help solve someone's predator problem. No matter the reason, most members' birds are their pets and being a chicken doesn't make it less of a pet than a house cat or companion dog. Please don't lecture or hassle anyone about their losses.

lickskillet was looking for support from fellow BYC'ers, which, for the most part, she found. Most of the people that have responded have done so in such a way that their "opinions" are merely that. This is a tragic and terrible thing that should not have happened. Her family has been through enough, let's leave it at that.

Just rying to help prevent a bigger loss. Worked search and rescue and was traind to do wilderness work. There are some seriouse things out there. Fences do slow down and even stop predators. No fences are not perfect-but you have a lot more grounds covered if you can say the dog jumped my fence. Just trying to give another opinion expecially if they are thinking of some sort of law suit.

From the rules

I just want to make clear the purpose of this forum.

*This forum is for dealing with predators and pests. Period.

*If information is graphic, please note it in the subject line of your post so members can make a decision whether they want to open the thread or not. If you choose to open a thread with said warnings, it is not BYC's responsibility when you are offended.

*Dealing with predators and pests is not always pleasant. Although sometimes hard to do, please be as sensitive as possible when explaining procedures and results. Some younger members and/or squeamish adults will appreciate it.

*Although some ways are not considered ideal to some, it serves the purpose of removing the offending predator. If you have an idea or a helpful comment, please do reply. If it is a sarcastic comment about the disposal or capture of a predator, please keep your thoughts to yourself. We are not here to judge one another on methods or ways and means.

*Compassion will go a long way toward helping to educate and help solve someone's predator problem. No matter the reason, most members' birds are their pets and being a chicken doesn't make it less of a pet than a house cat or companion dog. Please don't lecture or hassle anyone about their losses. Glass houses......

*It is the responsibility of the person with the predator to determine the legalities of what they do and that person will take ultimate responsibility. BYC does not condone illegal acts.

For instance, Trapping..this is a legal defence and it is not open for debate whether you prefer this method or not. This forum is designed as an aid to those who are having predator problems. It is not a debate forum on ethics.

*Please keep this in mind as we all learn from one another how to deter predators. Thanks.

This thread has deteriorated.

OP, I hope you get resolution soon.
Please PM me to discuss this if you wish.

To those of you who cannot refrain from being judgemental, perhaps the predators and pests forum is not for you.

However if you ever have a devastaing loss, please post about it. i promise we will help you with kindness.
