B&B Happy Goats....journal

It might be best to just put them out of thier misery. The law obviously isnt going to do anything about it and those poor animals pay the price of anothers stupidity. Did the other people call the law?

Rough situation @B&B Happy goats. I hope your property remains rogue pig free.

If I lived closer, Id help you with the pigs. Too bad you cant spray paint the nice neighbors pigs so they dont get shot. Got a paint gun? You could mark them from a distance. I just cant believe the local animal control or police department wont do anything.

It seems a down right shame when you move to the country for some peace and quiet and your neighbor makes sure that peace and quiet gets shattered. If I lived closer, I would be tempted to get in some target practice.

Im sure Missy will figure it out. Sometime a few attitude "adjustments" will teach her some manners.
Sounds like a big bbq is in the works. Im sure your neighbor will have success with his target practice.

How come animal control doesn't pick them up?

 

[Rammy]

Yeah, but whats to stop the idiot from getting more?

What are the laws in southern Florida about the neighbor's rogue pigs? With just one animal control officer in your area, it sounds like he or she won't be able to do anything about the hogs anyway. He won't be able to catch them or confine them by himself. I doubt if the sheriff can do anything since he is probably only interested if they are a danger to humans, or after they cause provable property damage. I think your best bet is to lock up your animals close in, and make sure your feed stores are locked up tight too. Hopefully cow neighbor and his boys will take care of the problem for you. Don't drag the pigs back to bad neighbor's property, since you will need to prove they broke through your fences and you shot them on your property raiding your feed room. At which point you can call the sheriff to make a report of damage by the dangerous hogs that you had to shoot to protect yourselves, your livestock and property. The dead hogs shot on your land in the act of damaging your property and attempting to attack you and your husband, will be there for the sheriff to see and write up his report. Your bad neighbor will be liable for the damages caused by his starving hogs, as evidenced in the sheriff's report and your photos. And the sheriff will have the dead hogs with their starved condition as evidence of bad neighbor's cruelty to animals for a court case against bad neighbor by animal control. Take lots of photos of the pigs, damages, etc. Maybe when funeral neighbor returns, they and cow neighbor will organize a pig hunt.

In the meantime, take pictures of the pigs so you can turn them in to animal control with another complaint. Since funeral neighbor will have a lot of damage he can also join with a complaint, as can cow neighbor. With complaints, property damages, and photo evidence from several families, animal control can cite bad neighbor and maybe they will remove those pigs from bad neighbor like they did the cows. With enough strikes against him, maybe the court will not let bad neighbor have any animals for a couple of years.

By the way, I would not want to eat those starving, wormy hogs either!

OK... Been reading along and honestly, you're working yourself into a tizzy over something that's not even worth it. I know you don't like to see animals treated poorly and I get it. But these hogs are not on your property, they're not damaging your property, and from what you've shared, they've made no attempt to access your property. They are presently an issue for funeral guy and the other neighbor. If you've reported them to govt folks, then you've covered your butt and until such time as they become your direct problem, you're spinning your wheels, raising your BP, enhancing your ulcers, and there's no reason. Why are you doing this to yourself? Make sure your animals and property are protected from outside influences and let the rest be like water off a duck's back... It's NOT your problem... Let those whose problem it is, deal with it as they will.
