poop.
Anybody know about canine laws? Can I shoot one if it's threatening me on my property, just like a person?
This morning I was in my living room, on the front of the house, when the guy down the street let his dogs out to run in the neighborhood. He does this every day. The guy has company staying at his house, so there were three dogs instead of the two who usually live there. Well I see them right outside the window, and one squats to poop. So I opened the front door and yelled for it to stop. The other two dogs (the ones who live here all the time) came running up the steps on my front porch growling at me. Very aggressive. Of course I shut the door. The owner heard me yelling and started calling the dogs, but of course the squatting one wasn't going to stop mid-poop.
The owner did walk over and pick up the poop, but that was only because he heard me yelling. He lets his dogs out in the neighborhood twice a day because "he doesn't want all that poop in his backyard" (HIS words). I did not go out and talk to the guy, because having a confrontation in the front yard with my sleeping kid inside and no one else around seemed like poor judgement.
Letting your dogs poop in everybody else's yards is one level of dickhead; letting your aggressive and therefore possibly dangerous dogs run loose is another.
Stupid asshole.
