Aggressive dogs have reportedly killed chickens, refusing to leave property

By Howard B. Owens

A pair of aggressive dogs have reportedly killed chickens at a property in the area (we didn't catch the location) and are being aggressive toward the property owner and refusing to leave the property.

The owner reportedly mentioned having a gun and wanted to shoot the dogs, but was advised by a dispatcher not to shoot the dogs.

A deputy responded and now has the dogs in his vehicle. Animal control is also responding.

UPDATE 9:48 a.m.: It's a trooper on scene. A deputy at the animal shelter asks if he needs to bring a snare. The trooper responds, "two Labradors, they just hopped in my truck, wanted to go for a ride, I don't think you'll need a snare, but bring it just in case."

Later this month, at the trial, the trooper testified (under oath, mind you), "Well, then, Your Honor, I heard the younger Lab say "Horace, I thought you said free-range meant we could have 'em if we could catch 'em". - To which the older one replied, "GRR-r-r-eat, Toby!!! And, why don't you just tell this cop where we live, too, while you're at it?".
