What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IOWA
Neighbors across the road from me have dogs that allowed to run loose. This is a small rural town in a small county. I would like to know what options I have. The city has chosen not to take any action because that is one of their options. I've contacted county, state agencies. They all tell me I must got to civil court at my expense. I have already gone to the expense of putting up a 5 hot wire fence across my property, trying to keep vigilance so another cat won't be killed. It doesn't matter that the cats are kept in a building most of the time and they don't stray. The dogs have become more agressive coming directly at me, owners have seen this and stop the dogs. I don't have the energy it is taking to be aware of these dogs, I am 70. These people don't have money. Any advice, this is my last try.
