I don't know if this would've turned out bad or not but a few years ago, the pit bull from across the street managed to get inside the fence to our chicken coop and it killed our very last chicken that I'd been taking care of up to that point. Pissed off, I went inside my room, pulled open the bottom drawer of my dresser, and pulled out my airsoft shotgun. I pulled out the clip, loaded it, clapped it on, and roostered it. I threw on my boots and went out the back door and pushed open the gate on our fence with my boot. I steadied the gun to my shoulder and took aim at the dog that was feasting on the carcass and fired a shot. I saw a ripple pass over the dog's skin as the pellet bounced off of it. It looked up at me somewhat alarmed. I roostered again and fired another shot in quick succession and the dog stepped backwards from the dead bird. But I was still mad, so I fired again. And again. And again. Eventually the dog started screeching and yelping but it couldn't escape the fence due to it being completely enclosed (it got in by jumping off the driveway which is a five foot wall). It even started trying to climb the fence using its paws and kept falling off. I just kept shooting though until I noticed the neighbor coming down our driveway who hadn't seen me yet. I lowered the gun and ran while crouching to avoid being seen to the back door and went into the house. I then peered through the blinds out the laundry room window while the dog was going completely hysterical and the owner discovered her frantic dog in a mess of blood and feathers from the bird. She let it out of the fence, looked at the mess, and then came to the front door. She was just like, "My dog killed your chicken. Bye." She then walked away.
My dad came home from work early to yell at them and threatened to call animal control and/or the police, because we have suffered thousands of dollars in vet bills, tens of dollars in damages, and many hours of grief just from the neighbor dogs. We don't talk to any of the neighbors at any of the houses surrounding us now.
