[Ansteorra-textiles] horrible news

[Saar-rah Al-Sabbirah]

I am very sorry to hear about your losses. I hope the rest of the livestock
and pets are OK.  Can you get anyone to wait up with rifles and shoot the
dogs next time they return (is that permitted here in Texas)?  In Oregon any
"at large" dogs that harass livestock are toast, pets or not.  These dogs
sound feral and likely pose a danger to any people or pets in the area.
