Subject: Testimony for Bill 125
In July 2021, August 2021, and January 2022, I have had the same pack of dogs without collars, get into my property
with 4' hogwire fencing, barb wire on the top and bottom, and electric on the top and bottom, and attack my livestock.
My pigs are kunekune, and my cattle are mini zebu, and smaller than regular pigs and cattle. After the attacks my pigs
had huge deep lacerations, couldn't stand for days, were left with shredded ears that later fell off.
I have 2 very young,children and am on my property alone. When the police come they advise me of camera to shoot
it, but then the last time when they attacked every pig i used a machete to hit one to get them to stop after they had
already run at me. Each time I called 911, and was worried about my kids who keep coming out to see if I'm OK
because they are scared. When I made the report, I had my rights read to me for animal cruelty.
I'm in fear of losing my kids and livestock to these dogs or losing them for any action taken to protect them and
myself.
