yeah my neighbor got mad cause my shiz zhu got off its leash and was in her yard. Her husband told me he was going to kill it the next time he saw it.
WTF is up with everyone wanting to shoot a dog that manages to get off its leash or out of its yard. I can understand if the dog poses a threat to person or property but if its just sniffing around or you know where and to whom it belongs why threaten to shoot it? Is this like a creole right of passage that I missed out on because I grew up in Texas or something?

1. I wouldn't receive such a letter because my dog would be under control and kept on my property.
2. If despite my efforts, my dog still repeatedly went on to other people's property, then my dog is being a nuisance and it's fair game.
3. If I received that letter, I would be mature and responsible; I would apologize to my neighbor for the hassle and his aggravation. That's the right thing to do.
All this "I'd frick-up the neighbor" business is just as irrational and emotionally driven as people who want to ban AR rifles after Sandy Hook. It's totally arse-backward and is totally disrespectful of others' right to peaceful enjoyment of their own property.
In the case of the posted letter, no need for any attorney...the neighbor is definitely going to jail since it occurred in Texas...no doubt about it. Class A Misdemeanor/State Jail Felony, depending upon how the DA pursues it. Dogs have more protections than children in Texas...go figure.

My dog barked at her and when she hollered and waved her hands at it he thought she wanted to play. She hit it with a paper then he growled at her and ran back home. Her husband said he was gonna kill it.
Wrong move buddy but she has caused problems from the day they moved in cause she thinks everyone out to get her because she is the only minority in this neighborhood.
Even called the cops on her next door neighbors cause their kids came in her yard to retrieve their football.

If your pit bull (or any large dog) was in his yard and he felt threatened then he was within his rights to shoot it.
End of story.
Now, I'd like to have better relations with my neighbors, but sometimes it's not possible. That's a pretty shitty note to leave somebody. If I have something to say, I'll say it in person.
FYI, if a pit bull (or any large dog) was in my yard harassing my livestock, my dogs, my family, or me, I'd fill him with as many as I could put into him from a standard capacity magazine equipped rifle.
If he wasn't threatening I'd try to capture him and notify the owner. And request that the owner make a better effort to confine the dog.
The next visit I would capture and take the dog to the pound and let them know who owned the dog, so they could call the owner and let him pay the fine. Or euthanize it, depending on responsibility of said owner.
The next visit would be his last regardless.
By the same token, if my dogs were on other peoples' property and chasing their livestock or kids, then I wouldn't be that upset if they met their demise via lead poisoning. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Yes sir. Serious as a heart attack.
My father was the very first person arrested and prosecuted under that statute in the state of Texas when it was passed in 1971. A trashy neighbor's dogs were constantly on our property being a perpetual nuisance.
Talking to the neighbor got nothing but a "frick you". Finally, at the advice of the Sherrif, Dad shot two of them and tossed them over the fence.
Neigbors got no relief from the Sheriff, so they went to the DA. The DA filed charges for a Class A and issued an arrest warrant.
About 10 years ago, the statute was amended to up the charge to a State Jail Felony in certain situations. Most LEO are aware of this and enforce it.
This is why you never talk to a neighbor about a nuisance dog unless you know the neighbor really well and there is no chance that you'll ever need to shoot the dog.

If your dog repeatedly did this, then yes you should probably take steps but you think open season on a dog is acceptable for a single instance or is it open season for more than 1 occurance?

Agree 100% but it seems this neighbor already set the stage for how he wants to behave by shooting the dog.

I probably would do everything in my power to ruin his life. I like to not be bothered and to keep to myself but unless my dog was threatening him, to just shoot a family pet is chicken shite. Even though I HATE pitbulls, I wouldn't shoot one and would try to find the owner (which I actually did last year).

Every situation is different. Sometimes this option is the best and the only option. It just depends... Common sense and respect for others are assets now sorely absent in much of our society.

This. Honestly I've had trouble all my life with people letting their dogs shite in my yard. For some reason people just think it's ok to let their dogs out to go shite and piss in other peoples yards. It's disgusting. If you bought the dog, the dog is your problem, not everyone elses. This guy probably got fed up with it and is sending a clear message to the dog owner. It's harmless as long as he doesn't follow up on it, and I can tell you from lots of experience that being the nice neighbor and approaching people with respect to ask them to keep their dog out of your yard goes absolutely no where. Dog owners are some of the most inconsiderate people out there.

So lets get this straight....your dog is trespassing onto his property, unleashed, probably more than once. The dog is probably shitting and pissing in his yard. This is illegal, inconsiderate, and I can't tell you how disgusting it is to have your children drag someone elses dogs shite into your house on their shoes. So you have broken the law and made your dog your neighbors problem, and to top it off when your neighbor does something about it you're going to "do everything in your power to ruin his life"??? Really??

My neighbor got a collar hung on his doorknob less than two weeks ago. I told him three times to keep his pit bull off of my property where my kid plays outside. He told me I should be watching my kid better.
If you have a large breed dog that has the potential to hurt somebody, then it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to keep that dog confined where it can not hurt somebody. I would say a huskie is a large breed able to do harm.

Damn dude. Do you know how the law read? That shite is ridiculous.
Like another poster said. Kill it, bury it, don't say shite.

100% agree with this. But even small dogs can do harm to a toddler, which I have two of. Not everybody thinks your dog is cute and loveable. YOUR DOG is YOUR PROBLEM. This mindset that you can let your dog go shite in everyone elses yard and they're going to think it's just the cutest thing in the world is absurd. How anyone lets an anything that doesn't bathe for weeks, never wipes its arse, never brushes its teeth, and licks its own balls all day hang out on their couch and lick all over their face is beyond me, but when your dog comes onto my property, you just made it my problem. It's illegal and it's wrong. Keep your dogs in your own yards people. You are the in the wrong when you let your dog out unleashed.

I'm on board with most of what you're saying, but you get pissed when someone is walking their dog and it pisses on your tree?

Hell yes I do. My yard is not your dogs toilet. I don't piss in your yard and I don't want any of your piss or your dogs piss in my yard. My son climbs that tree. Now he's got piss all over him and he's going to come hang out on the couch and get your dogs piss all over the couch. It's absolutely disgusting. How do people not realize this??
Seriously why is it so hard to understand that defacating or urinating on someone elses property is very wrong?? Whether its a dog or anything else, it's piss and shite in my yard and I don't want it there. Think about it.
