I certainly agree with your point about not ceding power to the brownshirts.

But I face a more immediate problem.

My neighbors to the right have young children who play in the front yard within sight of said dog. I spoke to the young mother of those children today and she said the dog came into her yard last week and basically chased the children into the house.

My neighbor on the left is an elderly lady who putters around her yard.

I understand that the owner of the pit bull might believe his dog is a friendly family pet...but he has already shown signs of aggression.

I have to live here and don't want to get into a feud with my neighbors, but I worry about the worst case scenario.

There are safe “live traps” available, and usually can be borrowed from the County Animal Control offices.

Have a Heart makes a trap big enough to hold a wolf.
