Other people's animals.

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.

Wrong. You will go to jail.

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.

Exactly.

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

Please refer to post #22.

Bad idea. Aside from being a total dick move, killing someone's pet tends to send even the most patient people into a flying rage. There's been more than one instance where neighbors have killed each other over this kind of ****.

Just like with humans, don't shoot someone's dog unless they pose an immediate threat to your own pets or another person.

I have to ask, how do you know it tastes different?

 

[Fred_G]

As far as shooting pets, I would like to think my neighbor would not shoot my dog if he got loose somehow. And if my dog got loose and damaged my neighbor's property, I would be fixing/replacing said property ASAP.

I had issues with stay dogs digging under a fence. They always went to the same spot and sniffed the dirt so i gave them something to smell. I covered the ground where they were digging with red pepper. They never dug again and stayed far away from the fence.

They have changed something in it, it's definitely not sweet. I'm a mechanic and I've ended up tasting antifreeze, oil, transmission fluid all of it, None of taste good. Usually ends up on my arm and in my mouth when wipe off sweat or splatters when it drains. But I bring my dog to the shop all the time. I was hesitant at first but he smells it and moves on.

Either way, poisoning them is a ****ed up thing to do and it shouldn't be advocated here, same applies to shooting them, feeding them broken glass, etc.

The fact someone would suggest poisoning or shooting someone's potential lost pet is sick as well as disturbing on several levels. I've had my dog get loose before and rest assure if someone shot my dog/poisoned him and I found out they can rest assure they'll be in a world of hurt. Repell the dog in a nonviolent way, take pics of the animals, and post pics on Facebook in hopes their owner is friends with you on there. Hell if you can, take them in to keep them safe. Show some compassion instead of being so heartless.

They probably added a bitterant to it, just like they do for canned air

Exactly. I guess that makes some people feel better about themselves. I would delete their silly posts.

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

Tempting to a sociopath, mebbie.

Within the city limits but yea, theirs before mine.

Oh.....for some reason I thought you lived down Clyde Smith....*scratches head*

 

[spec50trout]

Relieved to see the mods and others on top of some of these suggestions. This isn't the first time I've seen such things mentioned here. If meant in jest, IMO, it should be made very clear.

Spend way too much time out there, gotta get away from work a few hours out of the day.
