get at least two neighbors to write written complaints
Wow thats cool, How did you stubble across that and its even my town, I beleive I have seen that officer around.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I live in the County and just barely, the county line is less than a 1/2 block away. they owner of this animal and all the surrounding neighbors are in the county also.
I`ll try that. I would of tried to get ahold of the owner as difficult as it might have been , but had to start reporting this problem cause the owner obviously knows there animal barks constantly whether they are home or not, but when they would not be home on a friday or saturday night till way late or early morning and be gone all weekend on a holiday, like memorial day or 4th july etc. they would not take the animal with them they would just leave it outside to constantly bark over and over, etc... for days straight and that showed me absolutely no regard to neighbor courtesy and seen others over yelling to the dog to shutup and so one I could see others were haveing the same problem, the neighbor who lives directly behind them next to the boardering fence between the dogs area and there front yard , That neighbors grandson who is very seldom over couldn`t get any time with his dog to play fetch cause the dog would not barking at them and chase him up an down the fence. from one end to the other kinda trying to get to the little dog that was fetching the boys stick, so the boys got discouraged and went back in the house, the grandfather comes back out of the house to yell at the dog to shut-up and all it did was bark louder since it was getting yelled at, and through all this the owners were inside and did nothin about it, but had a BBQ later that night. with people over that was sad to watch. So I decided not to talk to them cause I would of just been so pissed I would of got no where. That when I tried to bring the police into the matter and obviously got no results either. anyway, thanks for the advice.
Sorry so many got pissed at each other about how they would handle the situation, but this is not a problem with dogs coming into my yard, or garbage or my kids can`t play in my yard or a dog running around unleashed or supervised, this is about a dog barking fenced in a yard.
Sure the kennel destroys dogs everyday, But plain and simple, We Cannot, its illegal. they don`t go to prison or county jail for cruelty to animals and killing them. Or poisoning them, to each there own but, That is wrong. I have had problems with stray cats bunchs of them, I borrowed my Mom`s cat trap and caught them and took them over to a lumberyard across the river and released them, there they can at least live on mice or something, Not shoot them like others neighbors have. My animals are like family to me and I wouldn`t shoot them when I was pissed at them, Lol.
