Q: My neighbor fatally shot my ratterrier with a bow and arrow through my fenced in backyard. What can I do
I want this man to be brought to justice! I am seeking any and all advice and info on where, who, and/or what all I can and should do! What my options are and what other actions I could do legally through other types of departments, organizations, platforms, anything...
A: File a criminal complaint if this psycho shot a deadly weapon through your fence. Then file a civil suit against him with the justice of the peace for vet bills, the price you paid to buy, license, vaccinate, groom, bathe, and feed the dog every year. In other words attach a spread sheet.
A: Call the local authorities (city police or sheriffs office) and press criminal charges. You can also sue him in civil court for your loss. My condolences.
