As a father of three young girls, I feel for you. It seems like these owners and there dogs have more rights than you or I do on our own property. There's a family down the street from me who bred "pit bulls" for money. These dogs haven't eaten any children, yet; but one of them killed my cat a year ago. Also last month one of them grabbed the little dog across the street and ripped its back side out. Animal control say's they can't do anything until they caught the dog "out of its yard". The pit bull owner said her welfare check won’t cover the Vet. bill so the little dogs own is out $1000.dollars.
How many nice people and there animals need to suffer for delinquent pet owner before something is done.
I bet if the governor or mayor had there child torn up or there pet eaten, they would past some new laws.

I myself don't like taking the law into my own hand but it seem like the people who believe in the law and the rights of others, many times have no rights. Does anyone no what steps to take to get some laws made.
Or maybe it’s time for a “Gopher Go” sandwich over the fence.
