If that dog comes in your yard you should have every right to shoot it. Further, you could be a grown up and go to your neighbors front door the first time you see it happen - and say "don't let this happen again". Moreover, no one does have the right to endanger innocent lives. I have and never will advocate for this right. However, I do advocate for the right to own an animal - so long as the owner is responsible. If the owner is irresponsible we should punish them. That is the way the legal system in this country works. Not all pitbulls are dangerous, nor are all Rottweilers dangerous. I have a Rott Shepard female mix that is the sweetest dog I have ever seen. If you have a problem with what your neighbor does - go over and speak up. Life is stressful - get over it. If we banned everything that was dangerous or caused someone stress - most of us wouldn't be here.
Did that, he didn't care. So who was the one being childish? And what am I supposed to say, "don't let this happen again, or..." what? If I take the dog out, I quite possibly go to jail. I try to be a law abiding citizen, and do not want to abandon my family for jail time.
That is the way the legal system in this country works.
I tried to contact the local authorities, but I had no course of action as long as the dog did no harm. So, I guess that I'm supposed to wait until it rips my daughter's throat out, huh? I guess the jerk had his rights.
Life is stressful - get over it.
Stress is not my problem, I deal with it all of the time. Idiot dog owners do not have the right to willingly cause my stress. So tell me, oh wise one, what was I to do in this situation?
