I'm went out to feed the herd this morning and all of our goats are dead. A pit bull was sitting in the middle of the pen. I am just sick.
:hit I am soooo sorry! How many? Was you able to pen up the pit bull? If so, do you know who it belongs too? This happened to one of the families that bought two of my lil goats, except it was a GSD and it was still in the barn. :somad She was sooo mad & upset; like you said, sick.:mad: So She called the police & they wrote it up & then they found the owners, the dog had a collar on with ID on it. Luckily the owner owned up to it,said it was his dog, & he did the responsible thing & paid them for their loss. Alot of folks wouldn't. The cop who came out told her that she could & had the right to shot the dog, cause it(the dog) was caught red handed with the goats, they were dead, the dog was in the barn, plus it had the evidence on it that the dog done it. case closed, hands down no questions asked. But she wouldn't, she said she couldn't, & it wouldn't bring her babies back. Now me, I don't think I could have done that, my heart would be breaking too hard to think straight. The dog was being a dog, but the owner should have taken his responsibility of owning a dog more seriously. It's called A FENCE. The big problem now is like the Old Timers use to say, Once a dog gets the taste of blood, it will always have that drive. Now with it being a pit bull; you know thats a different can of worms cause of the breed. A pit bull, man of man. I've never heard of any good stuff about that breed, I know there is good & bad in all breeds of dog; this breed is known for being used in fighting dogs. But the reimbursement don't make it right. :( I know You are just sick to your stomach about this, I know I would be; Our Farm will be putting yours in our Prayers.:hugs :hugs :hugs Hugh Hug 4U Sweetheart I am so sorry this happened to you & your family. If you need to talk, I'm hear for the listening. My shoulder is available.:hugs

That's terrible! I'd be lost, but first my flowers would have a new form of fertilizer.

Hope you got rid of that dog one way or another. Find the owners, it will help. It won't bring the goats back but it will help.

OMG! That's terrible! I'm so sorry for you and your family! :hit:hugs What a terrible Thanksgiving gift :( I hope you put that dog down! Then take pictures and alert the authorities so they can track down the owner. Jeeze... I'd want to put the owner down too! :somad:somad:somad:rant:rant

Really hope this doesn't ruin your desire to have goats... It wasn't yours or the goats fault. Damn... Again, I'm so sorry.

What a horrible thing to find, I am so sorry. :hit I know that retribution won't bring them back but I hope you find that dog's owner and make them pay and that dog needs to just be GONE. :hugs I can't even imagine what you had to deal with.
