You bemoan "inconsiderate" neighbors, who may be guilty of some
degree
of negligence, but "retaliate" against them with an equally
inconsiderate response. I'm sorry but you will never convince me
that
you are morally or legally authorized to terminate the life of
another
living being no matter what "damage" or inconvenience they may have
caused you. There are proper channels to seek out compensation or
retribution for these acts. That these proper channels are not "good
enough" for you is not our problem.

So, you're a vegetarian?

Relevance?

You said "....you will never convince me that you are morally or legally

"damage" or inconvenience they may have caused you."

You do that every time you eat meat.


Irrelevant. Totally unrelated circumstance. Are you planning to eat
your neighbor's dog?

Dave

You made a blanket statement. Do you kill silverfish if you find them in
your cellar? How about a mosquito biting your arm?



Doug, you're grasping at straws (Soon you'll have enough to build
another strawman) here. Is the amplification and the taking of
statements to the extreme and out of context your only means of
avoiding the core issue?

Do you believe that you have the right to kill a dog that strays on
your property, despite what the law may say to the contrary?

Until you are kind enough to provide a link to the law which states
otherwise, I will continue to believe that it is not legal to do so,
based on the laws that I know which cover my area.
