Trying to figure this out
Posted by Parrot139 on 7/24/18 at 4:33 pm
Sometime, around 2012, I happened upon this site, by accident,while doing a google search.
While I had no intention, at the time, of ever signing up as an actual member, Since then, I have occasionally come back to read through the posts I find interesting.
In doing this, I have discovered that a lot of the members here are extremely clever and are , for the most part, quick to debate important issues with a well rounded view and even profound insight, here and there, unlike many of the people I know, who seem to just follow the crowd of majority rules.
Although, without a doubt, I have ran across the occasional posts that I’ve felt were completely ridiculous, I have also been enlightened by opinions on serious issues, such as suicide, health issues, death, grief, and addiction, just to name a few.
Like many members here, My life has been affected by many of these issues, and Although I have never posted, I have found encouragement just by reading through this forum. I have been blown away, at times, and have witnessed true compassion here. Also, through the years of reading through, I have become familiar with and understand some of the lingo used here.
With that being said, last week, After dealing with a problem of my own, for over a year, I decided to muster up the courage and sign up to become an official member so that I could post a question and maybe get some solid advice on an issue that had I had been trying to solve for a long time.
However, almost immediately after posting, I realized that I was being trailed by the OT police. As a new member, I was accused of being a troll, and then what seemed like a serious debate about if I was trashy or poor, just within the first few replies.
Some of these replies were completely brutal, so I decided not to continue reading.
After my anxiety level subsided, and I was able to salvage what little dignity I had left, I went back and discovered that there were some genuine people who had responded, and gave me some really helpful advice.
So, after all that, I am curious to know, had my issues been a serious one, are there still people who are relentless in holding the title of #1 douche bag? Or is there an admin who is appointed to delete any responses that are heartless or immature?
Do you treat people this way in real life? Is this the way all new members here are treated? Just wondering...
Oh, and baws, it’s just a question. You don’t have to act like an arse! I don’t need that shite! Be nice!

Update: Animal Control seizes all 22 dogs
Posted by Parrot139 on 7/17/18 at 8:01 pm
Neighbor’s dogs attacked and mauled a sheep to death, animal control seized both the adult female dogs that killed the sheep and all 20 puppies today.
Animal control officer claims that the seizure had nothing to do with the attack on the sheep or vicious behavior. The seizure was due to neglect on the owners part because owner could not provide any proof that the puppies had been properly vaccinated.
Officer insisted that animal on animal aggression does not mean the dog is a danger to humans.
He even went so far as to say that a dog shows aggression towards other animals can still be trusted around a new born baby. He stood by this claim with confidence and said that animal on animal aggression can usually be linked to a dog having an underlying health issue.
He said that while my fear is valid, as a parent concerned for my children’s safety, the likelihood of my children ever being attacked in my yard was highly unlikely.
I assume from here they’ll be going to a shelter where they’ll get proper vaccines as the shelter tries to adopt them off... all freaking 22 of them!

I did not get any pictures though. Wouldn’t that be their word against mine?

Thank you! I will be putting up a fence this week also. I texted the wife to let her know what I witnessed. She holds a little more integrity. This time it was a sheep, next time it could be one of my kids or one of her grandchildren.
The situation with the neighbors goes beyond drugs.
When we first moved it was pleasant, aside from the neighbor who now has the roaming animals, the good outweighed the bad.
The elementary school is directly across the street and is a good small school that people want to send their kids to.
But over the years my good neighbors have passed away. They’ built and raised their kids in those houses. But after they’ve passed, the houses are too outdated and old to fix or sell, so they end up letting their children live in the house for free or hardly no rent.
I’ve seen it happen 3 times so far, the children trash the house and soon after they move in the sketchy activity starts. Every single time!!! It’s past time we move on!

I assure you, I am not a troll. I do not have the time or even the Witt to make up s story, and even if I did, it wouldn’t be about my neighbor’s dogs.
Truth is, I have been dealing with this for over a year now. I have researched the laws and asked around for advice on how to handle the situation. I have not gotten any solid advice, so I decided to post here, for the first time, to see if maybe I could get some ideas.
The reason I did not record the incident with my cell is because it happened really fast and farther off into their yard. I heard some racket, like hard knocking. When I turned around I realized that the knocking sound was the sheeps horns knocking against something trying to escape, as The dogs fought to bring it down. I did call animal control, but got got a recording saying they were closed until Monday. After giving it much thought I decided to call back and leave a message yesterday, just to let them know. Today, someone gave a cell number for the guy in charge. I called, told him about what happened and refreshed his memory about my calling a year ago. He said he’ll be here tomorrow to investigate. A few minutes ago I arrived home to find one of their Bully’s roaming my yard. I am making it a point to take pictures from this point. Like I said before, I have always been leery of them and they’re aggravating as frick, but I had never actually witnessed any aggression. I’m being told by one of their family members that this is definitely not the first sheep they’ve killed.
And as far as the description I’ve given of my neighbor’s yard and the fact that they abused animals AND own pit bulls, I am completely aware of how trashy it sounds. It is quite the eye sore, but when we first moved, it wasn’t this bad. Slowly throughout the years they’ve accumulated all these animal, along with their daughter, who struggles with addiction, as well as the sketchy traffic all hours of the night. But that’s another story...

They are complete pricks about it. I yelled at him from across the yard to inform him about what I had just witnessed. He said sheep was probably just hurt really bad, not dead. He does not care.

Their family breeds pits. I can’t say for sure that they are purebred, I’ve never asked the neighbor for proof.
It was the two adults that mauled the sheep.
We do not live in the city limits, but the houses are close together in this vicinity. Mostly older people who have been here a long time. This particular neighbor has several farm animals that he accumulates, then neglects.
I have called animal control about the farm animals as well as the dogs.
Animal control stated that there is not much they can do when someone reports loose chickens. The chickens are not my immediate concern.
I am very concerned about the dogs, and I’ve contacted animal control several times. However, animal control did not respond immediately. When they did come, I wrote a statement complaining that the dogs were loose, animal control did not seem alarmed at all. I basically was made to feel like I had overreacted, even though I explained to them that they made me feel uncomfortable and that I had children who frequently play outside.
For the most part the dogs have stayed on their side and I hadn’t seen them act in a way that was vicious until yesterday with the sheep.
Again, I am extremely concerned. But considering the way I was blown off by animal control, I feel the need to validate my concerns. Basically when animal control does come, it’ll be my word against the neighbor’s.

Gotcha! I am confused about how the laws work. I thought for sure owners were obligated to keep pits in an enclosed area. I have voiced my concerns to both the neighbor and animal control. Shock collars need battery replacement, and I recently noticed neither had collars on.
I have had enough, but I don’t want to end up on the news for animal cruelty.

And the just dropped each a litter of about 8 puppies each. Imagine that!

Isn’t that illegal?
I am concerned for the safety of my children.
Animal control is a joke.
They don’t come out immediately when called, so basically it’s my word against the neighbor.
Who is over animal control that I could contact?

I have called animal control about them being loose, roaming the neighborhood. Animal control said they’d have to keep their dogs in their own yard, so the neighbors put shock collars on them. That’s it.

Tore the sheep to pieces and then started eating it.
Vicious Dogs?
Posted by Parrot139 on 7/14/18 at 10:44 pm
My neighbor’s two pits both just recently had puppies. For the past couple days, they’ve been running freely throughout the neighborhood. Yesterday, I witnessed both of them maul a sheep to death in their own yard.
This is the first time I have witnessed them display any type of aggressive behavior. Should I be overly concerned about this? I’ve contacted animal control about them entering my yard before. They did nothing. What should I do?
