You are yelling, and there is no need to do so-particularly since I just pointed out my solution to the cat/dog thing, and it was not a big deal.
Apparently people who live in a rural area where you do are very, very different from here-I thought you lived in a condo or something the way you talk about animals on your property.
Where I live-on 5.6 acres-the nearness of the river dictates that we must only use bio-safe, plant based insecticides and weed control because of possible runoff-no raid, no roundup, etc. No point bitching about it-live on acreage, maintain that acreage.
The stuff works, smells better than poison, isn’t all that expensive-and I don’t get all wrapped around the axle over my neighbors’ animals for the sake of good relations-and I’ve had their goats and even a horse walk through a weak place in the fence-I made a simple, polite phone call, they came down the road and I helped them corral the runaways-I didn’t even go nuclear about the horse crap in the driveway, right by my truck-if I were freaked by animal crap/filth, I would not be living in the country-animals get out and wander down the road-it is not always the owner’s fault-I’ve found that copping an attitude just annoys that neighbor more.
Yep, I was yellinf, because you seem to want to equate your own animals that you are taking care of to someone else who turns their animal loose to roam where ever it wants to and then asking me if you should shoot your own cats. Ridiculous.
I would like to know what kind of pest and weed control you use that works so well. I’m sure you recognize how expensive it is to treat that much property. That someone else has no regard for my private property by allowing their animals to roam is bothersome. That someone doesn’t think I should be allowed to maintain my private property as I see fit is beyond bothersome.
And most of the problem with my frustration in replies is that there are two or three or four people that throw comments at me, I explain one thing, and then get accused of basically being an unfriendly neighbor for killing animals, when that is not the truth as I have just previously explained. Per the beagle and her sidekick that I kenneled for the people up the road until they were able to come get them.
