Candy Yeater’s comment in her letter to the editor, “a dog’s only idea of mischief was romping with his best buddies around the neighborhood,” is a total lack of mentality.
Since when do these people moving in here think their mutts can blatantly run around the neighborhood terrorizing somebody else’s pets and livelihood? Your sweet little pets, when running with their buddies, pack up and kill.
Examples of “friendly neighborhood buddies” on my property: the killing of a trapped baby calf by a black lab; vet bills on a baby calf whose hind legs were torn up from a pack of dogs trying to take him down; a lame mama cow chased down and attacked — leaders of those packs were two black labs. Is this sounding familiar to somebody yet?
Then there is the lovely pack that surrounded a mama cow who was trying to calve, and the calf was half hanging out of her as she was trying to get away. Does this sound familiar?
In the last couple months, I’ve lost four hens and a rooster, who put up a hell of a fight to try to protect his own yard. My barn cats are afraid to come out of their barns. And you guessed it: two black labs were seen running from, and as always, returning to the scene of the crime.
Candy, why don’t you ask your neighbor if his lab came home with chicken feathers stuck to his lips? Is this sinking in yet to those who think their dogs are superior to my pets and livelihood? I’m over it. My gun is loaded. Trust me, I know it’s not the dogs that should be punished.
