[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 398550, member: 1233"] The lady next door jumped down the deputy's throat when he knocked on her door. The sheriff himself and the deputy came out. This time we had the choice of either giving them a warning or insisting on a 10 day quarantine at $325 PER DAY (if you live inside the city it is about $30 per day but out in the county it is more expensive because we pay no taxes to support animal control) and as vindictive as these people are we chose the warning. They have been told that their dogs need to be inside or chained/penned up. Period. They were also told that if the dogs are on our property or the road then we have the right to shoot to injure or kill them if we perceive them as a problem or threat. Since they have attacked a child we do NOT have to be able to prove another attack, simply feeling threatened is enough justification to kill or maim them. The maim part is in case you miss - it means they cannot sue you for vet bills because they should be controlling their animals. The Sheriff was NOT.HAPPY. He understood that we don't want to get into a war with these people, and he could see why we would think they would do that. It has been recommended that we make arrangements for Tyler to carry pepper spray in his backpack or have the bus pick him up at our property. THe bus will NOT come down our street, so we don't have that option. husband and thank you are going to get pepper spray in a little while. At the very least he can take it to the office when he gets to school and pick it up before he gets on the bus. As good a kid as thank you is they probably won't make him do that unless there are other kids who have been a problem. thank you is just really good at following the rules and not wanting to get into trouble by breaking them. But he shouldn't HAVE to carry pepper spray to the bus!! I AM thankful he did not get hurt worse by the dogs. It really is not the dogs' fault - shooting/pepper spraying their owner would be more like justice but we cannot do that. Sigh. They are horrible pet owners - their poor cat is terrified of their daughter and she is now eight. They don't even TRY to teach her to be gentle with it.
