Better that the ******* moved in unannounced; without your consent, permission or any aid from your farm business. Maintain they don't seem to like you; they are next to wild animals that maybe have a right to their own ways ; are not in any way a pet and are sustained by any food they steal or seem to acquire without asking through written requests; and similarly the shelter they seem to have solely taken over. Any help to make their lives easier can be explained on humanitarian type grounds. After all no one should believe in animal cruelty. Like all Earth Rangers know.....something about loving ALL animals.
In short you have no ties to those dogs. Don't try to deduct occasional bribes or dog treats such as dog food from your income tax. On audit that won't stand up anyways.
Come to think of it...over the years the odd neighbor has had a couple of the meanest critters on their property that they seemingly were at wits end on how to dispose of them. It was effective in keeping EVERYONE away.
Maybe keep a more friendly cat or other pet separately. Move to where the fire department and police respond in minutes. Live in that gated community; security wire that house like Trump Tower; or any provincial government crown corp building etc. You can't legally harbor a viscious animal there.
The world is changing fast; and their are many who see the countryside as their own that can be used and abused in any manner that crosses their self centered minds....No respect for "rights" of others.
