Uh Oh

Your Fault

“It’s all in how you train them. It’s not the dog’s fault, it’s you the owner for letting him do this,” one fan wrote to the Teen Mom 2 star. “You should not own animals if you don’t know how to train them.”

No Issue

Not Happy

Not everyone was thrilled with that response. “I have a homestead, have yet to lose a chicken. If they aren’t protected then shouldn’t be free range,” someone tweeted at Jenelle.

Read a Book

“As chicks, they need to be contained and protected since they can’t do so themselves,” another person replied. “Get a book about chicken raising first.”

Responsibility

One person really came for Jenelle with a long comment that read, “My mom’s free-range chickens have never been attacked by a dog, much less her dog … that’s why [you] put up fencing around your HOUSE. Hawks can’t be helped but there’s ways to keep snakes away. If it’s your dog that attacked, it’s just gonna keep on doing it any chance it gets.”
