Other people's animals.

[3fifty7]

It's just a rant for now.
I have animals/pets in my back yard. Our animals are in a cage with an exercise pen inside my fenced in backyard. I was awoken this morning by to loudly barking dogs with a deep bark not my neighbors little yapping dogs (who roam free and crap in my front yard and driveway but that's a separate issue). It's right at daybreak I pick up my pistol, holstered, and walk around my yard. There are three dogs, only one collared, were feverishly digging under my fence and barking at my animals. I yelled at them and got there attention and let them know I was there, then pulled out my phone and snapped a pic of the dogs, the hole, and my pen on the other side of the fence.
I know leash laws are rarely enforced but this goes beyond animals just coming in my yard. The only way to get people attention these days is to begin by asking who is liable for the damages that could be caused. Damn shame.
Now to find the owners and let them know of the issue and see if they make any effort to contain their animals.

I also hate when other people let their pets run loose with out leash and they are not around to get the pets or control them. I would think that who owns the pet that does the damage would be responsible for any damages that the pet causes to your property since it was there with out their or your knowledge and with out being invited.

This. My neighbor has about 7-10 cats that she feeds. I have no problem with cat ladies in principle but damn it, if you want a dozen cats, you should be responsible for keeping them in your house. I shouldn't have to shoo them away from my front door, or out of my garbage can.

story of my life it seems. My neighbors just let their dogs bark all hours of they day/night, dig holes under the fence, and generallly be a pain. I cant go anywhere in my yard, without them barking at me, most of the time, they are sitting outside with them, listening to them bark.

I dont see how people can be such jerks when it comes to not pissing off your neighbors. Ive got two big dogs that live inside, they go outside to play, and go to the bathroom. I stop them from barking, or making any trouble, and i certainly dont just let them roam the neighborhood like a lot of my neighbors do.

Within the city limits but yea, theirs before mine.

Incandescent meatballs will solve that.

I have found that a good soaking with a garden hose is effective at silencing barking. May have to do it several times, but they learn pretty quick.

Works well for cats and dogs

I use my dogtra collars for when mine are off leash it's amazing how well a little vibration and possible shock if needed can be very effective I know some people that should have them for their kids

I certainly hope some of you aren't advocating harming your neighbor's pets.

 

[Fred_G]

A gun or poison can be tempting, but it is not the animal's fault they have crappy owners. Now, if a dog attacks...

 

[3fifty7]

It's absolutely on the owners.
That's why I took pics first.
As of right now the owners have no idea what their animals are up to, that's a big part of the problem. When I bring it to their attention, they need to correct the problem ASAP.

Air soft also works - with no harm either!!!
Every morning I have to pop a cat in the ass off my truck.

Animals roaming free, without leashes are not pets. They are strays.

I have literally been told by a Sheriff that if at any time someone's animals come onto my property shoot them, don't even think about it.
