No way! Not to mention that is ILLEGAL and you could go to jail or face fines for it.
I would suggest drawing some more attention to the situation. If animal control officials won't do anything about it. Call a local news station--see if you can get them to do a piece about it. Maybe that will get the neighbors to take responsibility for their animal or spur some action on behalf of AC. If the dog is not vicious, haul it off to the shelter. After having to make a trip or 2 and pay to get their dog back, maybe they will start keeping it contained.:) | nah, i don't assume all people from the south are like that. There are a lot of southerns here that are awesome people :)
I agree that if the dog was harming myself, a child, or my dog, i would do whatever necessary to get the dog off, but this person was making it seem like they would shoot the dog just because its in their yard to teach the neighbors a lesson. That's completely insane to me. Its not the dogs fault its a pit bull mix and its not the dogs faults its owners are retarded and didn't train him properly.
Oh and i just had to say, a lot of people think pit bulls are horribly aggressive dogs and are scared of them. Well let me tell you that LABS, yes the family pet of the year, are responsible for a lot of bite wounds, you just don't here about it. I was bit by at lab at work for no reason (and a lot of other people i work with as well). They are unpredictable and give no warnings, whereas the pit bull/rottie/doberman will give you warning that its scared so you know to back off. |
