For years we've had issues with predators attacking our livestock. This week we discovered that one of our pigs was down and the other two had similar issues, just not as bad.
In our state (yours as well) you are allowed to protect your livestock from attacks just as if it were an attack on yourself as your home. If they attack your animals then they are a threat. Just sit up at night and wait for them to come out and take care of them so you don't have the issue, regardless of predator type.
Do your neighbors a favor and shoot those dogs. Those irresponsible neighbors belong in jail but the law favors those type of folks. Our friend's horse was attacked by another neighbor's dog. The horse was unusable for breeding or riding after that. The horse owners called the police and eventually had to take the dog owners to court. In the end the dog owners didn't even receive a fine for having a loose dog. We spare no bullets when it comes to our own livestock. If you get the reputation for shooting; predator, canine nor human, will visit your livestock. How would your neighbors feel if you went into their pantry and demolished their food?
Sad for your loss. I've had neighbor dogs from several miles away come and kill my chickens. I caught the dogs on camera with video, and caught the dogs. The dog owner knows they won't survive a second visit to my chickens. Then came the mink attack. I caught this on video as well. So now much more security on the chicken coop. We are adding two piglets tomorrow, and they will also have video camera coverage. I might not be able to get to a predator quick enough, but if it belongs to a neighbor, I'll have proof.
Prosecute the owners you sound like a city girl. People in remote ares for the most part find a way to settle their problems themselves. One reason is there's not alot of police officers and it would take them forever to get to you.
:(( so sad. I feel for you. Thx for posting this video. A lesson for us newbies. Game cameras, hot wire on top for predators climbing over or a livestock guardian dog could do the trick?
Livestock dog would probably be best. We've kept pigs entirely within two strands of electric wire for years in a stationary pen, but we move our panels so much, I would have to think that one through. Game cameras, or cameras of some sort are probably in our future for sure.
My neighbor's dogs killed my chickens and ducks. I did not have cameras. Instead, I put the dead birds by the fence line so they could smell the rotting stench. Along with cameras, and old timer here told my donkeys? Mules? Protect your animals. That'd make for an interesting lawsuit. 'Your donkey kicked my dog in the face!' 'Why was your dog on my property?' Irresponsible dog owners will always blame coyotes, would be interesting to compare a corpse they kill compared to dogs. Wonder if there is a difference.
of course it was a shit bull. i just heard the word dog and i knew immediately. its always that breed group. the other guy suggesting trail cameras aint wrong but if you ask me, if you think you can get away with some poison bait go for it. or stakeout your hogs pen at night and shoot them and say you thought they were coyotes. theyre vicious animals who've killed before at this point and their owners refuse to rein them in. any harm that comes to them at this point is 100% your neighbors fault. frankly speaking if you could prove the pitbulls are the ones in your yard you should sue the pants off your neighbor for economic damages
I would shoot them, I really dont like shooting others dogs even if they are harming my livestock but those are too dangerous. Just shoot and shovel. Don say that you know what happened to them. If they cant control their bit bulls then they shouldnt have them.
Typical dumbass response. "If you cant afford to keep the dogs out......" No one can afford to build to successfully protect stock from all threats. What might work to deter dogs wont do for wolves. What works for wolves bears will laugh at, and nothing stops a committed human out. So save your know-it-all one liner opinion stated as fact to yourself

I’d invest in a few game cameras.

Stoney Ridge Farmer had this issue too recently. If your neighbor cant keep his dogs on his land then get the .308

Sorry that happen.

Thanks for that warning. A shame that someone'd dogs would make your livestock their prey. Full-watch. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🙂
Another thing you might could do is plant discouraging plants around your animal places.
Get security cameras that cover your pig pens. $100.00 investment that is a tax write off. When you catch them, prosecute the owners

Don't complain, it's all part of required animal care. If you can't afford to keep the dogs out--you shouldn't have them.

@@securem3 If they cant keep their dogs off your property then they shouldn't have them.
