If your answer is "yes", then you must also
believe I have the right to roll my trash barrel down to HIS property and
dump it on his porch.

You are supposed to know better. A dog does not.

You're a piece of work, boy. The neighbor knows that he is doing wrong by
letting the dog roam.

Does he?

Here, when you go to get a license for your vermine,
you're given a brochure which explains the law regarding leashes. Therefore,
if you let the dog roam the neighborhood, you are doing so with the clear
intent of ****ing off your neighbors.

So you are of the opinion that every dog owner who's dog digs under
the fence or breaks off of his tether is plotting to "screw with the
neighbors"? Even those who simply "let them out", do not do so with
the intent of making your life miserable. That's an unfortunate
consequence.

No wonder you have problems understanding such concepts as "collateral
damage".

One could also make the claim that since there will be a certain
percentage of people who let their dogs roam, as well as stray and
wild animals, that it is reasonable to expect that if you wish to have
your "valuable" garden protected, that you should take preventative
measures of your own, such as a fence. A fence would go a long way
toward preventing animal damage from occurring rather than you waiting
for it to happen, and then trying to extract restitution from either
the unfortunate animal or his befuddled owner.

When you are out fishing, do you make your passengers wear a PFD, or
will you wait for an accident to happen so that you can sue someone
for their "negligence"?

You ever hear of the saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure"?
