(Analogy Alert!)
One of my neighbors fed the Muscovy ducks. They shat on everything, ruining paint and making yards unusable. They destroyed gardens, damaged cars and made all kinds of disturbing noise. The neighbor got so hysterical about people who didn’t like the ducks the neighbors put up with all the damage. Then, the neighbor died. The ducks were shortly gone. (I was nowhere around. You can’t prove a damned thing.) The neighborhood was infinitely improved.
We had a vicious large dog running around the neighborhood. It got picked up a couple of times, but the owners just let it back out. I hear anti-freeze hot dogs were left out and the problem stopped. Not that I would have been the one, you can’t prove otherwise.
