Looking for some advice/thoughts on an issue in our neighborhood. A few weeks ago, a pair of pitbulls about 1.5 miles from me attacked & killed one neighbor's dog, attacked but didn't kill another neighbor's dog, and attacked a neighbor girl's 4H animals. The dog warden and sheriff say they can't do anything since the dogs have not attacked humans. We have not seen these dogs venture onto our property, though a dog can easily travel that distance.
Sometimes by myself and sometimes as a family, we will take walks, go jogging or biking. Now I'm afraid to venture very far so it seems to prohibit these activities.
I'm wondering what others recommend - would mace or a taser be effective? I'm not opposed to carrying a pistol and would probably enjoy some further handgun training to be more comfortable using it. But I'm still not sure if that is a good solution.
The family that owns these dogs cannot be reasoned with, so asking them to restrain their dogs is out of the question.
The worst part is, harvest is coming up and we have to pass that house to get to our other farm. So I'm no longer comfortable riding the 4-wheeler over to the other farm like I usually do to help out over there. I have been chased by these dogs in the past while riding the 4-wheeler, but that was before these attacks happened.
Anyone been in a similar situation that has some ideas?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
