Wrong answer, Dave.

It is the pet owner's sole responsibility to keep control of his
animal(s) and make sure they do not run amok or in any way damage the
property of others.

It is also the property owner's responsibility to take proper measures
to ensure that "accidents" don't happens which may damage something he
feels is valuable enough to loose sleep over.


If you have a dog, when it goes outside, it should be on a leash and you
should pick up after it, or, it should be on a run in *your* yard.

Normally yes. But dogs do get loose on occasion, and there are also
strays and other critters to consider. It is much simpler for a
property owner to fence in his "prized" garden rather than looking to
place blame when damage occurs.

Why should someone who doesn't own the offending dog be annoyed by its
defecating?

Because **** happens? And it goes away in a few weeks.

or have to put on a fence?

If you want to protect something of value, you need to take measures
to ensure it. Personal responsibility is taking proactive steps to
cover your assets, and not looking for the rest of society to do it
for you.

He shouldn't. Neither should a
neighbor have to hear someone's dog barking loudly half the day.

That would be far better than half the night.


You have all the makings of a real nuisance neighbor, Dave.

Do I? What do you know about me?

Do you sit
on your porch in your undershirt, swilling cheap beer,

So what if I do? Who are you to make judgement calls about my
lifestyle? You don't like it? Don't look.

letting your dogs
poop all over the neighborhood,

Who says I do? I had (past tense) one dog. That dog is no longer.

and play your stereo so loud that folks
three blocks away have to listen to your music selections?

Who said anything about stereo's? You are attempting to paint me in a
stereotypical manner as a strawman attempt to categorize me as a "bad"
neighbor. Similar to the tactics of the democratic party in their
feeble attempts to tarnish Bush's good name...... Conjecture,
speculation, ad-hominem attacks (With little hard evidence). The tools
of a propagandist.

If you can't argue the logic, malign the person.
