Pack Of Killer Pits Bulls Roaming Loose

Almost 200 goats here in the neighborhood have recently been killed by a pack of pit bulls. I've been carrying pepper spray when out walking, but I feel like packing my pistol until they catch these dogs. We've been attacked twice but never by more than two.

Another article came out, that they tracked and shot one of the pit bulls down by the creek where we walk twice a day. I think I've run across some of the dogs, but never all eight together in a blood lust. They describe a German Shepherd, and even a coyote as running with the pack. I suspect some of the dogs belong to the guy that found Pogi and brought him to town. Pogi didn't like that group of dogs and went and hung out at the school where we found him a few days later. My dogs have always fought back together, aggressively, if any of these bad dogs fucked with them. and I've been known to wade in to the fray and whack them as well.

I researched the open carry gun laws, and think California outlawed that last year, so I took a hatchet along on our walk, as well as the usual pepper spray. My guess is that most of these dogs are familiar with the three of us, and will leave us alone.
