Neighbors and their many running wild dogs

If you put a nother fence about 4' from the existing fence, they won't make the jump because they can't land between the two.... or so I've read.

There's a type of 4 strand electric fence that is angled out at 45 degrees to keep them from jumping over. I'm still trying to find a way to keep the d***ed wild turkeys out of my garden.

Read in an Irish newspaper that a farmer shot a neighbors dog that was a threat. The reports in the Irish papers can be a bit lacking in details, seemingly far worse than US papers, and all they said was that the dog was deemed a threat to the farmer's customers. My interpretation of the report was that the farm was a selling products of some kind and the dog threatened the farmer's customers. If I remember right, the farmer's son shot the dog. No real details and most of the report was quotes from the local "authorities" stating they are aware of the situation and are investigating.

My assumption was the dog was shot with a shotgun since I have read, and talked to people in Ireland who own shotguns, but again, the report had no useful details.

My other thought on the report that mostly talked about the authorities being notified is that the reporter was lazy and/or that the average reader was more concerned with the government knowing that the incident had happened vs what actually did happen.

Later,

I had a psycho-nut case working for me at my last job who dispatched the neighbors aggressive dog in this method: He got a large piece of expanded steel, about 4'x4' and cut a hole in the middle and placed it on the ground outside of one of the garage windows. He ran the cable from his Lincoln 225 tombstone welder out the window and zip-tied the stinger to the expanded metal so the clamp was inside the hole. He attached the ground clamp to the edge of the expanded metal. Next he cleaned the flux off a welding rod and placed it in the stinger pointing upwards. Every day, he would skewer a hot dog on the bare electrode and the offending pooch would come over and eat it. When he got down to the last weiner in the package, the dude was watching from the garage window and as the dog was enjoying his frankfurter, the nut case flipped the welder switch to the on position and electrocuted the dog, killing it in short order. This process was planned out so that the execution took place on the eve of trash day. He simply bagged the dog and placed it in the dumpster for curbside pickup and no more dog problems.

Not funny. The dog was merely being a dog; your coworker was being something not printable on TBN, and deserves to be given the same treatment. There are animal cruelty laws for a reason, and should have been enforced in his case. We do consider ourselves to be the superior species on this planet, but some people make me wonder.

There is quite a lot of detail in some of these dispatching stories. Almost makes one wonder about who the transgressed/disturbed party is.

Now I know why Lincoln welders are called Tombstones...

You're right, he was a psycho nut case.

I'd let God deal with him prematurely.

Agree. That guy should be charged with as serious offense as they can. These types of people do not stop with animal abuse.
