After years and years of BYC stories, plus my own issue with a next door neighbor, I treat EVERY dog like any other predator. After all, it's only a pet if it is on it's OWNER's property. See my sig line. I'm not playing games with loose dogs, not waiting until they actually kill one of my hens who is probably older than the stupid dog and doesn't deserve to be torn apart.
The other day, I had just gotten out of bed when my husband came in the kitchen door and grabbed the shotgun. Two humongous dogs, very well cared for by the looks of them, were running by my perimeter livestock fence on our pasture lot. If they'd made it over, that would have been the end of someone's "pets". To me, they're just predators on my property. I have had dogs most of my life and they were cared for like members of the family, meaning, they were ALWAYS contained on my property, period. So, I have no patience for anyone who allows their dogs to run like wild animals.
Wow I just finished reading your thread from 6 years ago so sorry you had to go through all that. It is crazy how people act and I'm pretty sure it's gotten worse these last few years. I still am waiting to talk to dog warden been playing phone tag but message left stated all they can do is set out a live trap since I don't know who owners are. I'm not going that route since the trap will most likely have a skunk in it than a dog. I really like the idea of painting a target on dog but I am pretty sure that'll fall under abuse. So unfortunately SSS is in effect. I'm thinking of putting pa dog laws in local paper highlighting the sections on defending your property aka shooting nuisance dogs and highlight the parts instructing dog owners to keep their dogs contained at all times. Of course I'm assuming whoever the irresponsible dog owners are not only can read but do.
Edit.
Just got off phone with dog warden supervisor. She is not sure if paint balling is considered abuse but she loves the idea. However she also told me to protect myself and property buuuut it depends on which state trooper shows up as to whether or not I'm fined for abuse, firing to close to residents .ect.
Well I hope someone out there whether its chicken owner or dog owner or whatever floats your boat owner
