First of all, I love dogs (most of the friendly ones anyway) and have
had dogs myself, but this.....
A woman has irresponsible neighbors who let their dogs run unrestrained
as a day-to-day practice onto her property. After lodging 45
complaints
to local animal control and police over a three-year period, with
apparently
no results, she decides to go the poison route. One dog dies and she's
facing a felony animal cruelty charge!
Of course, the situation would be different if she'd killed the dog OFF
of
her property. I agree that poisoning ain't a nice way to die, but
what's
next, a ban on HotShot and Raid? Are you gonna tell me that insects
do not feel discomfort when dying from Raid? Ever watched a cockroach
writhing in agony on its back after being poisoned by bug spray? On
my
condo property, a while back the powers that be decided to put out
little
lures which were to catch and poison "rodents" (squirrels and
chipmunks).
I was tempted to pick these traps up and toss them because I am not
too keen on poisoning these critters, but I do not think they caught
many,
or any, as we apparently have smart chipmunks around here, but the
point
is, why is putting out these traps not considered also a felony?
A dog running onto a person's property can be far more annoying (and
dangerous)
than a cockroach or silverfish visiting. They can attack kids and
other animals,
not to mention get into trash cans and shit all over your lawn. I
just do not
get it.
