Okay, so I found this:
174.01(1)(b)
(b) A person may intentionally kill a dog if a domestic animal that is owned or in the custody of the person is threatened with serious bodily harm by the dog and the dog is on property owned or controlled by the person and:
174.01(1)(b)1.
1. Other restraining actions were tried and failed; or
174.01(1)(b)2.
2. Immediate action is necessary
Then to define "domestic animal":
174.001(2g)
(2g) "Domestic animal" includes livestock, dogs and cats
To define "livestock":
174.001(3)
(3) "Livestock" means any horse, bovine, sheep, goat, pig, llama, alpaca, domestic rabbit, farm-raised deer, as defined in s. 95.001 (1) (ag), or domestic fowl, including any farm-raised game bird, as defined in s. 169.01 (12m).
Unfortunatley chickens aren't included in the definition of domestic fowl. So... get you a couple of turkeys or some quail... *sigh*
It's terrible, I wish it hadn't have happened to you.
