I agree with Connie. If the neghbor's JR bit my child, the dog would be
history. Most of the advise and outrage I have read are pretty useless.
Ammonia and water? And if you are downwind? Call animal control? Usually
ineffectve as well. Trap the dog ? Not her responsibility. She seems to
have solved the problem with the dogs. Not to everyone's liking, but that's
life. A link here or there doesn't constitute law anywhere, much less
everywhere, or even from town to town in the same state.
Animals have NO rights. Rights are legislated for people. Animal welfare
is fine - I have been involved with several rescue organizations. If I had
come home to the neighbor's dogs eating a foal of mine it had killed, I
would use the 3S rule. Forget BBs, I'd use a 12 guage. And for those
offended by that statement, it is legal in most every state to shoot any dog
threatening you or your livestock. And if you are offended, then you have
never seen the carnage firsthand.

The dogs killed my new baby minuture horse I got for my birthday.
