Husky-livestock attack on Barley Rd - Aug 11Maybe your husky killed our daughter's chicken today? We live on the acreage at the end of Barley rd. We love to see dogs and their owners every day enjoying this area for dog walking, and wanted to respectfully request that dog owners be mindful of keeping their dogs from trespassing onto our property, as it is a working farm, with livestock. This really hasn't been an issue up until today, when an off leash husky came down into our barn yard area and attacked our chickens. Unfortunately, it killed our daughter's special breed layer, Fluffy Cheeks, and she is pretty devastated. We have electric fencing around our chickens, but this dog was pretty determined. The dog ran off while the other chickens were being tended to, so we are wondering if the owner of the dog is even aware of this incident. So, if you were walking a husky on Barley Rd (out in Paterson) at about 11:30am today (Aug 11), we'd appreciate you getting in touch. We can be reached at 250-231-780eight.
*update - sounds like there was someone walking about 6 dogs near our property at this time, some of which were huskies (some clipped, some off-leash). Does this sound like any local dog walking companies? Just trying to get in touch with someone so we can prevent any more harm in the future. |
