This issue has been going on for a very long time for us and has nothing to do with the police having to look over the looters in Kalapana. One thing does not have anything to do with the other. I would never think that my chickens have priority over someone elses misfortune, but I also think I should be able to defend them from harm. The humane society is not the police department and they are the ones who are, or should be dealing with these issues head on with the animal problems.
By the way, many of us own agriculture property, not just residential. This problem is not in one area or neighborhood it is widespread. Dogs are no better than my chickens, I have both as well as cats,I keep my animals in my fenced yard, to keep them safe. I wish my chickens were big enough to take care of the other dogs when they show up, but sorrowfully they are not, so I guess to resolve this issue I just need to get some relief by getting a bigger, meaner dog than what the neighbors have. At least that may level the playing field.
On and on it goes....the viscious cycle of who has a bigger dog to terrorize the neighborhood with.
