[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 2698859"] You're right about one thing - killing pets could land you in jail. That is the ONLY reason I haven't made any serious attempt to kill a nuisance barker. I don't fancy spending a year in the company of murderers and armed robbers whose twisted logic would no doubt put a dog-killer only just above the nonces in the prison hierarchy. So while the idea of giving a nuisance dog poisoned meat is tempting, I am not going to do it. If something like the device described in #1144 really existed I'd buy one like a shot. Unfortunately it's either a joke or an urban myth, though I'll admit I fell for it initially and tried to find more about it. I don't like dogs much but I don't agree with cruelty for the sake of it. If it makes constant annoying noise though, that's a different matter. Anyone who's suffered nuisance barking knows that the obvious legal steps like talking to the owner or going to the authorities knows that in most places this is a waste of time and actually counter-productive as you can't then deal with the dog yourself if you need to (or if you do, you're asking to get caught). So yeah, the idea of jail is a good reason not to kill a noisy or dangerous dog. It's the only reason, as far as I'm concerned. If I knew for certain I could get away with it you bet I'd poison the bloody things and good riddance to them. [/QUOTE]
