That is horrible. I'm sorry for your lambs and so very sorry about your dogs. I can't imagine what I would do... I can't even put it into words...

 

[elevan]

I have no words.

I am so sorry for your losses! You did the right thing killing them...if they did this to livestock they could just as easily do this to a young child. You probably saved someone's life.

Was having a quiet day before a pack of Pit bulls came calling. I personally don't think any one should own this breed unless they pass a long test of their life style, their ability to control an animal with a strong mind and will and how much time they have to properly train these dogs.

My Jake, Marshmellow and Rolley were no match for these three brutal monsters. I was in the other barn working with an injured cow when I heard the whimpers and barks from the Pup's barn. I didn't think anything of it at first but when I heard the unfamilar barks of the Pits and then the muffled cries of my lambs and pups, I knew there was a big problem. I called out Raven and Chief and ran as fast as I could to the other barn. My wife was home for lunch and I yelled for her to get the shotgun.

Once I opened the door I saw the blood bath. The feral Pits weren't killing for food but just fun, it was sickining. I yelled at them to leave but they didn't even notice me as they did there work. My wife came running in and screamed at the sight of the carnage. ( I don't dare explain what happened as it is just to disgusting).

My wife's scream got their attention as it was a sign of fear so I grabbed the gun from her hands and without remorse shot two of the dogs point blank in the head. The other one went to take off as I reloaded as I dare not send Raven and Chief after him. I managed to get off another round and injure the Pit and then finished him.

Sadly the dogs had dog tags on and appeared to be owned by a family a few miles away. I waited several minutes and then called them after speaking to the proper authorities. The authorities have already come and gone and delivered the dead dogs back to their owners, who will have ALOT of fines and damages to pay.


Rolley, Marshmellow and Jake didn't make it as though young fought to protect their little lambs. All but two of the lambs in the pen survived and only have a few scrapes as they played dead.

I HATE IRRESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERS

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for your losses. So you aren't in any trouble, right? Have you talked to the people? Hope that they understand it's not your fault, and you had to protect your property and all that were on it. Thank God Raven and Chief didn't get to them before you. Glad to hear that you and your wife are ok.

So sorry for your losses. I've been enjoying your post about your LG pups. Glad you and your wife were not bit and able to kill the pits.

 

[SuburbanFarmChic]

I am SO sorry this happened to you guys. Irresponsible dog owners are the worst.

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

That is horrible. I sure hope they pay to replace your animals. I know the money does not really help as you would prefer to have your animals back.

 

[dwbonfire]

oh my gosh. i am so sorry to read this. i cant even think of anything else to say. what a terrible thing.

 

[autumnprairie]

no words SORRY

Dear God, that is beyond terrible. I hope for legal purposes you took pictures of the carnage so you can get every penny possible from that idiotic family. I know it won't bring back those who were lost, but it will be some retribution.
