Hopefully this was an isolated case, the pits getting out, since you
had not seen them in the past. Some people will never learn to be
responsible owners because of the laws. As you saw an attack against
your live stock didn't even warrent it to be written up. A slap on the
wrist gives people the attitude that if the law dosen't care, well neither
do I. Irresponsible owner's need to be hit in their pocketbook where it
hurts and then they won't forget.
Something good came out of this because it will make you aware
of who your neighbor's are now. Beware, pitts and your babies.
Glad your ponies are alright. They must be adorable. |
Thank you, there IS an amusing side to the story, though. Little Quincy and Bizzy were eating their hay which was near the fence where the two dogs were snapping and snarling. Little Quincy was PISSED because his meal was being interrupted - and bless his tiny little soul (he is 27 1/2" tall and weighs just under 200 lbs) he was protecting his baby sister Bizzy (who is about the same size) by keepin in between Bizzy and the pitts and by trying to charge at them. They finally did get into the fence and Quincy charged at them and chased them out.
I am going to have an eagle eye on the lookout for those dogs. If they show up again I will definately call the authorities.
It was very scary .... very.....
I wish the law would allow for shooting a dog that is attacking your livestock, but alas, it is a crime
Go figure. You are encouraged (there is a bounty) to kill coyotoes - but a domestic dog attacking your horses is protected. There is something wrong with his picture.
