I feel badly for both the chicken owner and the dog. Unfortunately the dog owner should be held liable.
We have a second house on our property that has exotic parrots. There are almost $75,000 worth of parrots in there. I was sitting on my bed last night and saw two what I thought were coyotes, trying to get in there. I yelled to my husband who ran and got the gun and a baseball bat.
They weren't coyotes, but dogs. One is the same dog that is on my property constantly. We can't find out who owns him. The other dog ran under the trailer on our property. Try as he might, my husband couldn't get the dog out of there.
This morning I noticed it was no more than a puppy. Possibly 5-6 months old....poor thing. I don't know if it's a dump or lost but its terrified.
Called animal control but the guy is out of the office today. He's supposed to come out and get her tomorrow. My grandson caught her by the collar and we have her locked up in the dog kennel.
We were told to shoot her. The older dog that keeps coming on my property....absolutely if we can, we will. But this is just a puppy so no, we won't shoot her. Maybe the shelter can find a new home for her. She's a gorgeous pup.
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do....so I understand the poster completely.
