Reading some of the songs were the only thing that has made me laugh in days.   If the sheriff's had not illegally entered our property (they had no legal Search Warrant or even a citation for Nick's arrest) Speckles would still be alive today.   I know she is only a chicken, but I sobbed all morning yesteday when I heard her neck had been wrung.   The DA actually told our lawyer they WILL find an owner for the dead chicken.   Ray's Market has filed papers stating they never owned the chicken, etc.    We are being threatened daily and not only worry for our lives, but the lives of our animals.   Nick is diabetic and very sick, plus a partially disabled Vet.   They forced him to walk barefoot down 200 feet over our very sharp 3/4 minus baserock driveway.   The circulation to his hands was cut off, and when Nick refused to give the sheriff the combo to our electric gate, they broke it down. They would not remove his cuffs so he could punch in the combo. They could have asked me to open it remotely from inside the house.   Yes, we are a mess.   Nick is on medication from the VA, so is actually doing better than I am.   I am, for the first time in my life, and I am 57 years old, knowingly near a breakdown...K.
