Hi folks,
A dog that's usually left outside has dug its way in my garden and killed 5 of my chickens (one managed to escape - which I later caught on the road by my house).
I'm extremely mad - we've told the police but they won't do anything unless there's damage to my property.
I've caught the dog and tied it up outside (alsatian). Dog warden is on its way.
I know this has happened to a few folk here - is there anything legally I can do? My kids could have been in my garden with them (as they usually are) which is my main concern.
I know its in a dogs nature to do this, I'm fine with THAT part of things - not after sympathies or whatever just wondering if there's anything I can do?
The owners are out at the mo (we know where the dogs is from - neighbours have helped us).
To 'safe guard' myself I've given it a bucket of water as it's in full sun - in all honesty when I caught the dog I did feel like doing something horrible to it.
FFS !\
ETA - dog warden on way within the hr
