and just to ask, is there something that is holding you back from restoring the fence? if they were that big of a concern that probably would be my first step

yeah, the insurance company still stonewalling us on restoration costs from hurricane Ike. $4000 to replace the fence, which at any time could be knocked down by another hurricane. It's not that the property is not fenced in, its that the majority of it is all chain link fence.







UPDATE. Well, it happened.... the irish wolfhound mix jumped the hurricane fence and got stuck in our yard. Luckily I just opened the gate for it and it bolted.

So.... with Hurricane Ike 3 years down the toilet, my yard fence is still damaged. Luckily the neihbors still have chainlink fences surrounding our property. However, here in lies the problem. Both our backdoor neighbors and our next door neighbors have huge dogs. Irish wolfhound mixes and the backdoor people have pit bulls. They have not jumped the fence yet and are very aggressive when anyone is outside. Both neighbors we've talked to already...one saying "it's my guard dog" and the other saying "Get off my property"


Now in the case I carry if my older parents are mowing the lawn or outside grilling. Knowing that I am fully in the right to defend myself or my family on my own property, what will the consequences be for me if I put down one of their dogs if they do jump the fence? I know the reaction the police would have but what about the PETA-ish people(yeah one has a bumpersticker for the org)? I owned animals in the past and always took care of my animals making sure they weren't a nuisance.



just asking.
