within City Limits, by the bus stop? why no, no livestock or farming there, quite correct sir.

The ‘real world’ is a fake.

And that’s how you get ants.

People feel strangely entitled to let their dogs shit wherever they want, and they act incredulous and flabbergasted if someone asks them to pick up the feces. I’m in favor of some anti-trespassing-entitled-dog-walker countermeasures but not one that is toxic to the dogs who are in fact innocent and unwitting participants in their owners’ anti-social behavior. How about a water hose to spray at the dog walker?

Be sure to use a sampling rate above 44,000 Hz.

While not condoning poisoning animals, I understand the reasoning. A more effective solution, sign advising there is video surveillance and all offenders will be turned over to the authorities, then actually let youself be seen filming someone offending and point to the sign. If there is a mandatory pick up after your dog law, then they will be fined/ticketed.

Personally, I’d go for the motion-sensitive sprinkler, set high enough to hit both the dog and its walker (if they are on my property).

That’s what I was thinking… Although I think that 1000mg/kg is the limit for humans/rats/etc – dogs are about 1/3 of that limit because the theobromine lasts much longer in their system. I know many dogs that have eaten lbs of chocolate that they discovered under a xmas tree, in an easter basket, etc (most of them belonged to my friend’s dad – I still refer to large unruly dogs as a Glenn dog).

Now that will be infested with ants. :wink:

That law says otherwise. Unfortunately for your point of view, your notions are not the rules by which we live.

Actually, people have deeded property to pets and the law has respected that. But that places the dog in the position of being subject to property laws. His estate is required to pay property taxes just like you and me.

I get that you have a nice hippy dippy world view and that’s beautiful but it’s not a point of view shared under our common laws. Wishful thinking wont change that nor will arguments about what you believe.

When my friends with young children suggest visiting me, I heartily invite them, but I do warn them about the rusty concertina wire and loaded handguns laying about. Which is a great joke, but disturbingly describes my actual home growing up. What were we talking about…?
