My grand daughter that lives with us has one so i have to deal with that, and i know how much they can become part of the family and loosing one does hurt. Im sorry to hear of it Rusty, in time maybe you can go rescue another and make it family.. And i do agree, dogs should be on a leash, I had two show up hear and kill everyone of my chickens years ago and i made the owner pay for them although it didn't compensate much, they were the best laying hens i ever had.

I'm a cat person, that is awful news. So sorry to hear of these problems, Rusty. Take care of your wife...

Man, I hate to hear about this kind of crap. Why do people even have dogs if they aren't going to take responsibility for them and keep an eye on them? Sounds like you have done everything that you need to legally, so I guess what happens now is up to you. If those dogs come back onto your property and threaten you, your family or pets, you have every right to defend them with appropriate force. I'm no lawyer, just my opinion. I don't see where you have any other choice. Good luck to you Rusty and let us know how this goes.

I am not a litigious person. IMHO, taking them to court will be a waste of time. We've called the county sheriff's deptartment and animal control many times and nothing has been done until now and all they did was write a ticket. I'm not gonna waste taxpayers money tying up a stupid dog case in court. That's not who I am. Now.......my wife is NOT havin a good day. She's a heart patient and is on about 14 meds twice a day since her heart attack in September of 2011. She's already taken one nitro pill for chest pain. She's better, but if something happens to HER, rest assured, I'll grab the dirtiest attorney I can find.

Thats not good news at all... Take care of her is all I would worry about right now. Frigging irresponsible people. To bad you cant just shoot them and call it a favor to the world.

Maybe time for some free range chicken bones???
Hope the wife is ok.

 

[satman72]

Sorry to hear that Rusty. I hope your wife is OK.

 

[Propwash]

Sorry to hear it! Good to hear the wife didn't get too tore up and is gonna be alright.

How about you fight fire with fire? Maybe some free roaming Badger's or Wolverines? Even better yet, how about a DIY Honey Bee starter kit set up over by their property?

 

[wahya]

Some states have laws that if a dog "worries" cattle you can shoot it. I guess someones pet cat dosent matter much. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your pet. Unfortunately bigger animals pick on smaller animals. But family pets ( those dogs ) need to be attended to properly. I grieve for you & hope your heart & wife heal with a forgiving heart.

Woke up early this mornin to a commotion on the front porch. Three of our neighbor's dogs they just let roam free came up on the porch and grabbed one of our cats and killed him before we were able to get them off. One of them even bit my wife as she was trying to get them off. I swear I wish people didn't think they had the right to let their dogs just roam free. That cat was 15 years old and almost blind. He never left the porch except to do his business. He never hurt anybody. We're gonna miss you , Rickie.

Rusty you & your wife have my deepst heartfelt condolences, I know very well how a pet is so much part of the family, they are like our children almost... RIP Rickie

Rusty, don't waste time your wife was injured. They should at least pay your doctor bill's for her Injury. These people have been in trouble before. A dog owner who neglect's their animals are a holes and should be taken to Court.

 

[moparshaker]

nothing worse then irresponsible pet owners , some leave them chained up with no contact from a loving hand or just neglect them and rarely feed them or water them. i see it all the time here and report it. i live in a old town with house and townhouse subdivisions on the way to my lot. all these kids have pitbulls around here and they are always loose, i don't hate pitbulls either. i have a fenced acre lot that my jack grew up on and he's 13 now and 2 pitbulls got in my yard from the woods on some down trees and got after him. now lucky he can still defend him self ( little terror himself) he was able to get away from the 2 under a shed til my bow was brought out. called cops and pound to come take the trash out. no one ever came forward to claim them either.

 

[Lenny Arsenault]

Hey Rusty, Sorry to hear that about you and your wifes long time buddy! My wife got her first cat when she was 11 yrs old name was kitty of course and the cat live until my wife was 32 yrs. old when I first met her. I believe that would make the cat 21 yrs old and believe me he looked very old so he was blessed. Hope the wife is OK! Lenny.

Sorry for your losss Rusty, amazing how such a small ball of fur can have such an impact on our lives huh?

 

[roadrunnerman]

Hate to hear someone losing a family pet (friend) like that. Like some others have said, go after them in court. File for doctor's bill,pain and suffering. We just had an incident where a guy had a horse that had been down for 2 days and finally somebody called it in. Cops and animal came out, found the owner and forced him to give them permission to put the horse down humanly. Sad thing is, animal control had been out to see this guy on 75 other occasions in the last 2 years. IMO, people like that and the ones that had the dogs should be banned from ever owning another pet period. I hate seeing people abusing or neglecting any animal.

 

[Meep-Meep]

Sorry to hear this Rusty and most important I hope Mrs. Rusty is doing well. As said, it's not totally the dogs fault, but sometimes there are dogs (and other critters) that just need killin'. I'm never one to stampede toward violence, and always prefer it be a last resort, but if those dogs come at y'all again like they are gonna do some damage you may need to be ready.

 

[YY1]

Aw, man.

I know the "law of the wild", but as usual, this time it's the people that are the problem.
