Sara,

I totally agree with your post.

Political Correctness has trumped Common Sense and Civility.

If this happened 30 years ago, the neighbor with the dogs would have walked over to the neighbor with the chicken and apologized and paid for the cost of a new chicken.

Also, the neighbor with the dead chicken would probably have said “accidents happen”.

Also, the neighbor with the dead chicken would probably have said: “accidents happen” Do you want to come over for dinner, we are having chicken?

Fixed it for you.

About 50 years ago, my father shot a dog who was after our chickens....he didn’t mean to kill it, just to scare it off, unfortunately, he hit it, and it died. Turned out the dog was owned by MY 3rd grade teacher. Of course she was hurt, however, knew the dog was where he was NOT supposed to be doing what he was NOT supposed to do....oh, and by the way, I was Mrs. Cayoo’s “teacher’s pet”...for you youngn’s....her favorite student. All ended well. So many people today are self centered, narcissistic brats.

You are only forgetting that after the apology and acceptance, then they would have had a nice chicken dinner together!
