Some years ago, a neighbor who had two dogs, a sheltie and a cocker
spaniel, lost the sheltie to another neighbor's German shepherd. The

two
little dogs were in their own yard, kept there by training and by an
"invisible" fence...one of those electronic fences.

About a month later, the shepherd came back for another visit, and
started going after the cocker spaniel. The spaniel owner came out

and
bashed in the skull of the shepherd with a shovel, and then dragged

the
carcass out to the middle of the road.

All's well that ends well.

I would've dragged the shepherd to the owner's home with the hope that

his
children were there to see it. But that's me. Sometimes I like more

drama
than other people.


Drama? You call that drama? Puss.
I would have dragged the dead animal over there, knocked on the door and
when the owner answered, I would have beat his ass into next week with

the
dead carcass.

I have absolutely no patience for someone that takes on the

responsibility
of another, and then abuses it.
An ex-neighbor had a cat named *Streudal*, a big champagne colored cat

that
they let run loose through the neighborhood. I liked Streudal, him and I

got
along fine, he would fequently spend the day in my home-office lounging
across the top of my Plotter in the sun.

One night while going to the convenience store I saw Streudal splattered

on
the highway. It tore me up, bad. I went home and got a shovel, I intended

to
bury Streudal off the side of the road. While driving back to get the

shovel
I came up with another idea, one that might make a difference. I scooped
Steudal up and put him in the back of my truck and drove home. I

re-scooped
Streudal out of my truck and rang the neighbors doorbell, interrupting

their
movie rental/pizza party, and when the dad answered the door I threw
Streudal on their foyer floor. Their two kids were mortified, the dad was
stunned, the wife was ready to faint. They moved about a month later. I

hope
I scared all of them for life, for seeing Streudal plattered on the road
scarred me. Payback is a whore.



And you're proud of this?

You did this to an animal that you actually LIKED?


Get a grip, asshole.
It was a dead body.
It was dead because of its owner.
Like YOU, the neighbor didn't care.
How did you get to be so stupid?

I grow a garden for pleasure,


You don't sound like you are very happy if you constantly complain
about everyone who doesn't share your ideal view of what it means to
be a "good neighbor"


1) "everyone doesn't share", correctly defined: Neighbor says I have a

nice
garden. I offer to help them if they want to create one. They say "Nah...I
don't think I have as much patience as you do". We have a beer and I send
them home with some tomatoes.

2) "everyone doesn't share", INcorrectly defined: Neighbor is informed

that
their dog is damaging my garden. They do nothing to stop the problem.



Oh....and let me shut down your "build a fence" bull**** once and for

all.
During my last two years in my house, I added certain vegetables to the
front flower beds. Some vegetables are quite attractive alongside

flowers.
Our zoning laws prohibit building fences within a certain distance from

the
street. That leaves no options except to deal with the dogs in various

ways,
beginning with the legal system.


Then put your garden in a place which allows fences.

How long did it take you to look up that statute to use as yet another
excuse?


We put up a partial fence in the back so we didn't need to look at our
neighbor's rusty swing set a dirty underwear on the laundry line. Every
fence contractor we called explained the zoning law for our particular
location, in case we were thinking of taking the fence further toward the
front of the property.

Any more stupid questions?


Dave has no concept of what REAL neighbors are like.
There is no such thing in his trailer park.
Look at the context of his posts.
He steals, he lies, he disrespects others rights, he is a miscreant.
He has admitted all of these things, over and over.
Dave is to be pitied, then killed, like the vermin he has admitted to being.

The LAW says that pets and land are property and the owner has the right

to
defend his property with whatever defensive measures he deems appropriate.
If you don't like it, then do something about it, moron.


Don, what law says you can use whatever defensive measure one deems
appropriate to protect his property?

Do you believe the law allows you kill someone to defend your property? How
about using a gun with a trip wire to defend your property.

U.S. Penal Code does not allow the use of deadly force in the protection of
your property. Deadly force can only be used when a reasonable man feels
someone's life is in eminent danger.

The use of a trip wires to harm someone illegally entering your home will
result in the owner being charged with either with aggravated assault or
manslaughter if the person is killed.

I also agree with the penal code. While it does not matter if you agree
with the law or not, you will be found guilty. The world would be a better
place if you were behind bars.

The key word above is "believe". You may interpret the law to mean that you
may kill a person to defend your property, but in fact, that's false. You
may kill someone inside your home, but not if they're outside bashing in
your garbage can with a hammer.

A previous message mentioned a vanishing cat. That seemed OK with you.

So,
what difference does it make HOW a pet vanishes, whether it's whisked

away
by animal control to place where it will likely be euthanized eventually,

or
if it's flattened by a car? Gone is gone.


The difference is intent, and whether or not the action was sanctioned
by the law.

That would not change how the family felt about losing the pet. Gone is
gone.



Ok, you like using hypothetical examples, so here's one. Would you

If you think killing an otherwise harmless animal who defecates on

You might be justified in killing a neighbor's dog if that dog attacks
you. But not if it simply craps on you lawn. It is that fundamental
difference which you can't seem to resolve.


In either case, it's the result of a dog owner who doesn't give a damn about
his neighbors. The payback should be equal.


Then go take a dump on your neighbor's yard. THEN the payback would be
equal.

You can also use their t-shirts as handles to escort the kids back to

their
parents and discuss the issue with them.


I would file that under #1 above. Have you had to deal with some
parents lately? I don't know about in your area, but when I was
growing up and another adult lodged a complaint about me, it was taken
as gospel truth and I was immediately and severely punished. Today, if
you go to a parent to complain about their kid, they cop a "My kid's a
angel, you must be mistaken" attitude.

My next door neighbor, in my old neighborhood, had two kids who made a
habit of migrating to my yard to play their various sports, since my
yard was clear and significantly larger. I had to shoe them away on
almost a daily basis. One day, when I came home and found them playing
yet again, I drove up on the yard with my truck and chased them, in
the hope that they'd now think I was crazy and fear to return. I also
yelled after them and I used some words which I probably shouldn't
have. But I was ****ed. That was many years ago, before I learned how
to effectively manage anger.

The next thing I know, the kids' dad comes over to give me a tongue
lashing. And, get this, he wasn't so upset that I had chased them away
with my truck. He was upset with the words that I used. When I told
him that I didn't want them on my yard, he denied that they were
there. I was floored. I asked him how was it then that I was in the
position to chase them down with my truck and shout after them if they
weren't there? Needless to say, this conversation didn't accomplish
much. In fact I would frequently catch not only the kids, but the
father joining in for games on my yard. The problem was finally solved
when I called the police and had them give him a talking to.

Maybe I should've shot them all huh? Oh, wait, that's only an option
if they are dogs right?

Dave


Why didn't you want those kids in your yard?


Ah, here it comes.........

Well, why not, you're entertaining if nothing else....

I didn't want them for a multitude of reasons.

In today's liberal mindset of responsibility deflection, I can get
sued if one of these little miscreants plays on my yard and then hurts
himself.

Then there is the wear and tear on my yard. Not that I'm a yard geek,
but I don't want spots of bare ground corresponding to the bases in a
baseball diamond showing through.

Then there is the chance that an errant fly ball will hit some piece
of my "stuff" and cause damage.

Then there was the fact that I just didn't like those smart ass sneaky
kids. Kids who had a bit more respect might have gotten a little more
leniency.

Oh, I don't know. By the time you got through with the assault charges

I never had multitudes of wild animals crapping on my property. Just
squirrels, whose turds seem to be invisible, one cat, who buried them
someplace where they never caused a problem, and quite a few dogs. If I
lived in the Adirondacks and deer were a problem, I would've accepted the
fact of life that you have to coexist with deer and whatever else comes
along.

So, taking these last two comments of yours in perspective, you claim,

being a member of society is consensus building, and harmony in
action. But you've made it abundantly clear that when it comes to
certain matters, you are more than willing to fly in the face of
society and play by your own rules, when it suits you.

In other words, you're a hypocrite


No, Dave. I don't live by a rigid set of rules. I'm flexible. Just like DEC
game wardens.


I doubt if the law allows you such broad "flexibility"......




You really need to live a wider life, Dave. You spend too much time with

TV.

I rarely watch TV. Why would you think that I do? I find reality (REAL

You watch courtroom dramas on television. That's already too much.

This is a new high water mark in stupidity, even for you, Dave. Did
anybody say anything about "teaching them a lesson?" No.

An animal that destroys property can, under many circustances, be killed
by the property owner. This is in order to prevent further damage to his
property. It comes under the heading of "property rights" and could
easily be equated with defending one's home against robbers.

The fact that the animal is a pet does not change the circumstances,
except that the owner of the animal has declared himself to be
responsible for the animal, then abdicated his responsibility.

This explanation might have too many big words for you, Dave, but it
doesn't matter since you appear to be determined to never ever learn a
single fact in this world.
