If I were you I would feel better if I got rid of the dog.No words with the neighbor.Just get rid of the problem and don't talk about it.

i wouldn't kill the dog do what tropicaljo said about the bb gun it wont come back and you don't have it kill it
well it all depends on it .. if it gets hurt a few times by it .. it will learn go over there get hurt painful and stay here no pain .. i just don't want to see a dog that doesn't know any better get killed .. is it a older dog or younger ?? .... my dog is mean to other people but should he get shot .. he would bite someone if they try to break in or try to hurt me or if someone hurts him or does something he doesn't like .. he looks at the chickens like their food but i wouldn't kill him for it i had him for 12 years hes getting old so i wouldn't kill him just for doing something wrong that he doesn't know its wrong they have to be teached that its wrong .. he prob thinks they are playing and its a game to him not his fault but just how would you feel if someone shot your dog thoughconsidering this dog's behavioral patterns, I would think the only thing a bb gun or rock salt would do is tick it off and make it that much more aggressive (but just my opinion).
Edit: SSS gets my vote.
Dogs like this have behavioral issues due to the training (or lack thereof, I should say) from their owners. According to the posts on this thread in regard to this animal, he is not "playing" nor does he think this is a game. This is an aggressive, violent dog who, according to the OP - bites children as well. You're right in 1 area - and that is that the fault lies with the owner, not the dog. That being said, it doesn't mean the dog can be allowed to kill chickens, attack children and go ahead and be violent "because the poor thing wasn't trained properly" - absolutely not. If it does get hurt a "few times" by a bb gun or rock salt ammo - which time would another child have to be attacked or another chicken killed in the process of showing "compassion" on this dog?well it all depends on it .. if it gets hurt a few times by it .. it will learn go over there get hurt painful and stay here no pain .. i just don't want to see a dog that doesn't know any better get killed .. is it a older dog or younger ?? .... my dog is mean to other people but should he get shot .. he would bite someone if they try to break in or try to hurt me or if someone hurts him or does something he doesn't like .. he looks at the chickens like their food but i wouldn't kill him for it i had him for 12 years hes getting old so i wouldn't kill him just for doing something wrong that he doesn't know its wrong they have to be teached that its wrong .. he prob thinks they are playing and its a game to him not his fault but just how would you feel if someone shot your dog though
so why should the dog pay with its life for what its idiot owners do they do not train their dog they prob don't play with the dog he is prob abused for a dog to act this way my dog is still aggressive though so i guess he should die to right he killed a chicken before he doesn't like kids because hes old but if this dog to die because of its owners is not right i don't like dogs much because i got attacked by one they wanted to know if we wanted it to be put down why would i want it killed the dog didn't know my i was helping my sister baby sit then and i was outside with the little girl the dog brokes its chain and came at me trying to protect the little girl i was in his yard and he was not trained right so why would i want him dead no one ever played with him so its not his fault its the owners fault .. a dog is the way it is because of how its raised people say pitbuls are aggressive and they should die its the way they are trained and cared for .. if he has gotten train and put in a new home that dog prob could become the nicest dog so why does he deserve to die .. my dog has killed animals like raccoons a chickens before attacked other dogs but if you know him he is the nicest thing everDogs like this have behavioral issues due to the training (or lack thereof, I should say) from their owners.

In regard to your question on how I would feel if someone shot my dog? I'm a responsible pet owner and I would never own a dog with this behavioral pattern. As such, it's not something I would ever have to worry about. If these people are irresponsible enough to even own a dog with these behavioral tendencies - not only do they not deserve to own the dog, but do not deserve to own anything that is alive and breathing.
This dog has broken through the electrical fence on numerous occasions and keeps going back through it (please google electric fence), so the likelihood of a bb or rock salt dissuading him from continuing to breach the borders of his own yard - are highly unlikely at best. So the "stay here no pain versus go there and be in pain" really has no effect on this animal.
This isn't Lassie - this is Cujo.
