So yesterday our neighbors dog and one of their in-laws dogs came in our yard and killed two of our chickens. A third is doing so-so. These dogs are always loose, no fenced yard or leashes. Yes, we were upset and my DH told the guy who came to get them they better not come in the yard again or he would shoot the dogs. Which is legal if they are killing livestock.
I called the neighbor, got the daughter who said parents weren't home (found out it was a lie) and she denied it was their dog (your uncle came and got them!) then said it was an accident. Never apologized. Told her to have mom or dad call. No call. I called today to get the uncles name and number, spoke to the dad, no apology, nothing. Called the uncle, he will pay to replace the birds. I said I didn't want him to be 100% responsible but it was up to him to work it as who was going to pay, but he said he would do it to make it right. BUT no I'm sorry. Is it so hard???
If we report them the dogs will be declared a nuisance (for killing livestock) and that makes a mess for them and I'd rather not do that, but it peeves me that they won't just say "I'm sorry that happened. We will do better keeping our dogs controlled". Is that too much to ask?
