My dogs killed neighbors chicken

I think the chicken is the real victim here, pain and suffering plus the flock lost revenue from the sale of her eggs

Yes but the chicken's troubles are over, not sure about the OP or the dog or the neighbors.

Dogs are programmed this way-- it is up to the owners/masters to ensure the dogs do not feed their "wild" side, but strongly reinforce the domesticated side. If your dog is a fear biter, you need to be between the dog and anything it may want to bite, and aggressively ensure that this negative behavior is stopped.
And for you guys that think its ok to let your dog’s run free it is not; there is nothing worse than having a strange pack of dogs running through your property feeding their "wild" side.
With respect to the chickens, SSS! If you feel really guilty go buy them some new chicks.

I’m a lifelong, large breed, dog owner. My 2 cents worth.

I still think the chicken would have been better off crossing the road, he/she might still be with us :confused3:

Okay. Why didn't the chicken cross the road?

He was eaten by a dog.

There we go again, questioning the chicken's motives.

I know so many jokes about the chicken and the road, but can't repeat a single one of them here!:shocked:

Where'd the OP go? Did the dog eat him?

My guess is once the OP heard that, right or wrong, he was probably in the hot seat for liability, that he took off.

His prior post was 1 year 5-1/2 months from this one, so we have a while to wait.

If I had a dog that had bit somebody the internet is the last place I'd think about openly talking about it unless it had already been settled legally.
His first post would have been enough to cost him the farm.

If it broke the skin then it's a dog bite no matter what one wants to call it. No if ands or buts.
And legally it can cost a good deal of money. And no it doesn't matter what sized dog it is.

Exactly, it does not matter what we all think about what is right or wrong, what matters is in our litigious society, what will the person that was "nipped" do? How good is her lawyer, and what will the jury think? This is what I meant when I posted early on that he was possibly headed for disaster. I hope NOTHING happened. In fact I hope he and his neighbors are sitting on the back porch together sipping lemonade and planing next weeks BBQ. But we may never know.

He and the dog made a run for the border, right now they're sitting in a mexican cantina drinking tequila "don't worry Fido, you're safe here, the TBN judges, juries, and executioners have no jurisdiction here! haha" (Fido takes another shot, slams the glass down and BARKS laughter)

I don't believe anyone here has condemned the OP.. just offered speculation as to what could be real world liability based on what is seen in the news every day. Every day that i drive to work I pass bill boards for a law firm with peoples pictures on it saying 'so and so law firm' got me MONEY!

Pretty much lets you know that lawyers are looking for settlements.. The Company i work for is located at an intersection.. there was a car accident involving a semi truck and a teen driver who had a license for one day. teen ran a stop, semi plowed car.. teen died, and another teen in the vehicle critically injured and suffered a serious brain injury. The lawyer sued the truck driver, truck company owner, owner of the leased trailer, owner of the cargo in the trailer, our company because we were at the intersection where the accident occured, our company's president ( as a seperate entity from the company ), the county, his own insurance, and the utility contractor that had installed the traffic signals at the intersection.

After a bunch of depo's and pre trial stuff, the judge dismissed from the lawsuit the portion suing our company's president seperately, and let all the rest of the 'defendants' stand with the lawsuit.

All the insurance co's met and agreed on a 10k$ each defendant settlement, because each defendants legal counsel felt it was cheaper to offer that group settlement ( 80K$ +/- ) rather than risk a trial with a huge damages amount and then start getting assigned % liability. doesn't take much % liability on a 1 mil claim to exceede 10K$.

So there our company is. our ins had to pay out 10K$ just because our office is LOCATED at the intersection where the accident happened. same with each of the other defendants. I'm sure target that owned all the tv's in the cargo trailer was wondering why they were liable for a teen pulling out in front of the semi..

just goes to show you. you can be at fault.. then sue the pants off a huge amount of people.. and it's cheaper for the defendants to settle than defend.


twisted world.

that's a 100% true story.. 0 embellishment. Your border story pales in weakness to the cold hard facts of reality in a society where you can be in the wrong and sue and win....
