A heated discussion about a rogue dog wreaking havoc on local farms took center stage at the Warren County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 17, 2025. A resident voiced his frustration over a neighbor's dog that has reportedly killed over 30 animals, including chickens, in less than a year.

The resident recounted a troubling encounter with the dog's owner, who allegedly attempted to unleash the dog on him when he sought information about its rabies vaccinations after finding his chickens severely injured. Despite the sheriff's department acknowledging the situation, they indicated that there was little they could do, suggesting the resident file a small claims case or cite the dog for being at large.

The resident urged the Board to consider new ordinances or to push the county attorney for action against the dog, emphasizing that he is not alone in his plight, as other neighbors have also suffered losses. The supervisors acknowledged the public comment, stating they would take the concerns into consideration for future discussions.

The meeting concluded with plans for the next official board meeting set for July 1, 2025, where further actions regarding this issue may be addressed.
