Meanwhile, my neighbor kicked my dog, threatened to shoot my other dog, and then came onto my property and threatened to hurt me in front of my kids. To this day, he's confused about why I don't want to be his friend or talk to him.
....all because my little dog smelled his chicken, which he didn't even have enclosed, which is the law
He came on your property and threatened you with physical violence?
How did that not end with the cops? You would be well in your rights to defend yourself
It did. But they said WE were in the wrong because our dogs were unleashed.
You have to leash your dogs on your own property? I've never heard of such a thing.
Their yard wasn't enclosed, so our dog got into his yard to smell his chickens. We were told our dog needed to be leashed or in a fenced-in yard. Meanwhile, they apparently didn't have to.
Sounds like his animals were staying on his property and yours were not. You were in the wrong. He overreacted but don't let your pets wander on other people's property.
Legally, he's supposed to have his chickens fenced in. Just like we are supposed to have a fenced in yard, actually. So we're both actually "wrong". Barging into my property threatening to hurt me in front of my kids isn't simply an "overreaction" either.
build a two meter wooden fence so you dont ever see their face again, problem solved
It makes for the best neighbors.
