Thanks everyone for all the support. Just got up ( I work 3rd shift) to get ready for work and guess what, the dog was in my neighbors yard loose. Was told it was contained... it does make my afraid of what this neighbor is capable of doing or his good ole boys what might do while I am going the 25 min to work. Keep me in your prayers! Thanks...

Keep us posted on this. I like what Tina from CA said about the 3S's. LOL Yep, a woman's got to do what a woman's got to do.
LOL Good luck.

That is downright wrong that the deputy is being allowed to get away with that,I believe as Gandhi said that when there is injustice,we must make the injustice visible so I would go to your local newspaper or write them and make the story very,very public.
I had this same issue with my Sister in Law/neighbor's dogs killing my rabbits and the whole thing really blew up when one of the dogs bit my Daughter,it caused a huge family war when this freak of a woman vandalized my vehicle,livestock fencing and killed some of my animals in retaliation so we moved away from them and now I will never speak to my own Brother again,he is a stranger to me now.
Anyways,you've gotten alot of good advice there from all these gals but I would go a bit further and make the situation as public as you can,tell everyone about it and about the police response and make this injustice visible.

Kathryn, sounds like the 3's needed to be practiced with more than the dogs, so sorry that family behaved that way, and shame on your brother...

Kathyrn, so sorry about your ordeal and sorry your brother acted the way he did! Great advice, maybe I will even call the tv station. They have a segment when people have been ripped off.

Kim, Have you thought about reporting it to the State Police? Since the Sheriff isn't willing to "contain" his Deputy it seems to me you need to go higher on a law enforcement level. My DH works for our Sheriff and he would NEVER allow this behavior by one of his Deputies. He (Sheriff) has made it clear that no one is above the law, including them and we should report anything to him.

Thanks Ginny, I'm have tried contacting our state dept of agiculture, with no response from them. I will try the state police.

I wish I could give you some better advice, but beyond warning the neighbors that next time you WILL shoot them, I don't really have anything new to add. I'm looking forward to updates on this though!

This makes me SO mad. I can't believe you're still dealing with this! Thought of it again when my sister in law called to say someone had shot her dogs, one limped home and died, the other went to the vet and had a LOT of money dumped into it. I said "Well, where were the dogs when they got shot?" She said "Out running." She's new to farm country so I explained to her that her dogs REALLY can't run now (they shouldn't have been pre-farm country either...) because now if they are lose on someone else's property (especially if they are harassing livestock) they can be shot. She just went off about how she didn't know how someone could be so "mean." I told her she better hope she doesn't have someone knocking on her door asking her to pay for chickens, goats, cows...whatever. Some people just don't get it!!! GRRRRRRR. Looking forward to your updates!

Maybe taking pictures that have the dates on them would help substantiate your case?

I do have pics and the deputy that originally filed the report actually saw the dead hens himself. I'm gonna try and file Friday, if my finances allow.
