Another thought is that by 4, it's not acceptable for a child to be harming (to the point of your needing to remove them to save them) pets. I'd concentrate my efforts on that first. I know you said you've tried but IMO this is not an area where you can afford to fail. Seek intervention or parenting help if necessary.

You could look for a foster situation. If you call the pound they may be able to tell you who does that in your area.
