Who the hell lets their dogs run around in a non fenced yard days? It's 2018... smdh.

Fair enough... definitely a cultural issue.I do, but I choose not to live in Gulf Breeze. When you live in the country on multiple acres, you do what you want with your dog's.
You would think... but it's a cultural issue. Not to get off topic, but it's the same issue we have on the public WMAs, dog hunters can't keep their dogs where they are supposed to, and they justify it with lame ass excuses like "dogs can't read signs" and the like...Regardless of whether you live on 1/10th of an acre, or 100. Shouldn’t you have control over your own property, both land and animals? I’d think it to be a basic concept, right? A responsibility to other land owners to keep your animals on your own property and be responsible for what they do if they do get out, and a responsibility to your own animals to keep them protected from harm.
Use welded wire fencing. I did most of my 8 acres with it. If you use the cheaper 4 ft fencing it is about a dollar or so a foot including the t-posts. IF your land is level and cleared it is easy. If not then it is a lot of work. I have even fenced on the other side of peoples privacy wooden fences. It is mainly to keep my dogs in and any critter that comes in better be discrete and faster than the dogs are and most of them usually are which works out fine for all.I have lived out here for 18 yrs, this is farm country/cow country/wooded, there are fences everywhere, but barbed wire and squared fences..i have 10 acres, not feasible for chainlink fencing...95 % of dogs north of Molino road, run loose, I guarantee
that also rules out electric yard fencing..not feasible...
the other dogs were up on shots...
they all were known to each other, and have never had this issue before, I think it is a mixture of
being pitbull instincts and testosterone...none of them were full blooded pits, all mixtures, including my dogs have some amount of either pit, or red nose bulldog..
mine were neutered, at least one of the others was not...
there is no law against killing an animal attacking yours out here that I am aware of, LEO, feel free to chime in
not looking for sympathy, just venting...and maybe get a few points of view to ponder from you all..
I care a lot for my pets, and have spent hundreds to keep current on medical shots.., and I have tried to keep them in, but a 90lb dog goes over, or steps thru barbed wire when they want out.
I will try again to alter and add to the area they escape from this weekend...
but they want to be with me if I am outside , they are work/hunting dogs and follow me, even when I cut grass, they lay around watching.
I will not keep a dog chained up, it is cruel..and they can strangle or could not escape if other dogs or coyotes jumped the fence..
deer go thru fences too, and bust wires sometimes, there is always a gap they can go thru on..
everyone's property is fenced, but not chainlink, as the cost would be huge...
not seeking approval for what I may have to do, nor do I care if I get critiqued for it..
Vent away.
You could’ve received some advice from LEO if you had reported the incident, certainly much better than strangers on the internet. Just don’t turn out like this guy, or worse:

This could be cheap insurance:
Over and out.
I trust nothing with a brain.
Animal
Human
If they can think there dangerous

I asked because if they’ve never been a problem before, and then in the last month they’ve attacked two of your dogs...why?
