Wayne, sorry to hear all this turmoil going on.  It is sad that the laws were passed to allow recreational marijuana.  No matter what especially this type of drug or more heavier drugs will lead people to do things where it causes harm towards another human being.


As far your pet you should have contacted immediately Animal Control. 

Generally, the process of having a dog declared dangerous is set in motion by a formal complaint from an animal control officer or someone who has been threatened or injured by the dog. A hearing follows, at which a judge hears evidence and determines whether or not the dog is dangerous under the terms of the law.

If a dog is found to be dangerous, the judge will order the owner to take measures to prevent the dog from injuring anyone. At the least, the owner will have to keep the dog securely confined. If the judge determines that the danger can't be kept within an acceptable level, the owner may be ordered to have the dog destroyed or remove it from the city. An owner who violates the court's order will probably be fined and possibly be jailed, especially if the dog seriously injures someone. The dog will be impounded and probably killed.

However, you were not injured but your dog was killed. Each state has its own rules.  I am sure if you contacted Animal Control first to see what they could do than take the next step by contacting another authority figure.
