Pair of Huskies came on my property and killed my cat who was lying on the sun on the balcony. I did not shoot them although I was tempted.
The owner started yelling at me because Tilly had shredded their ears while they were killing her and they were show dogs. I pointed out that he was the nitwit that let them out.
Found out later that he had a habit of "forgetting" to secure his gate. Usually they went north and tried to get at another neighbor's rabbits. Tilly's bad luck that they went south that day.
Anyhow the next time they went to visit the rabbits the rabbit owner shot both of them.
The dog's owner threw a fit. Rabbit guy pointed out that this was the sixth time they had come on his property and tried to kill (and had killed a couple of times) his rabbits. Dog owner had been warned he would shoot them the next time they came over.
“Rabbit guy pointed out that this was the sixth time they had come on his property and tried to kill (and had killed a couple of times) his rabbits.”
Seems to me that if a neighbor’s pet dog can take out your rabbits or chickens, so too could wild foxes, coyotes, raccoons, fisher cats, bears, bobcats, raptors... I guess some people are lucky enough to live in areas without significant numbers of wild predators.
