I left a comment:
"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The local government officials in this story have acted like bullies. Their specific disregard of the local laws is criminal ! Neither pygmy goats nor chickens are over twenty-five pounds!!!!!!!!!! And the spiteful neighbor that ignores the local leash laws deserves a punishing fine for allowing their dog to step foot on a neighbor's property. The Arnetts should sue the local politicians and the dog-owning neighbor in small claims court, claiming fraud, corruption, and harrassment, violation of public trust, etc,, etc., and request the maximum in punitive damages."
