Hey Moonshiner,, I was just thinking what would happen if, for instance, a baby was outside and the dog showed up. If it's legal in Kentucky, and they warn the neighbor ONCE, shoot the dog.
Hanna, if you don't protect your animals, then expect them to be attacked - whether by dogs, hawks, raccoons, etc. All the time, work, money, and love you put into your flock will be for naught. Kill the dog and be done with the fear of losing them. They depend on you to protect them.
