Bad Dogs Bad Neighbor

[Jstpssng]

chain the fellow to some crappy little dog house and throw scraps at him for a week. See how he enjoys that.

I like that idea. I've told this story before... I took a shortcut to a friend's house one cold January evening a couple of decades ago.
it's a road where you never meet another car. I saw something in my headlights up ahead, as I got closer I saw a little kitten sitting on the center of the gravel road, most likely it hadn't moved since somebody opened their door and dropped it. The darned thing was barely big enough to be away from it's mother. I couldn't keep it, my friends had two dogs and she didn't like cats so I stopped by a farm I drove past and they agreed to put it out in the barn with the rest of the cats. In hindsight after picking the kitten up I could have stepped on the gas and probably caught up with the driver who had done it but it's also a good thing I didn't... I could be pretty ignorant back then.
It would have been poetic justice if his car had broken down out there and he had learned what it was like to be stranded in the cold.

An update if anyone is interested. He was arrested and charged by NYSP and we have gone to court twice. So far he is still not willing to accept responsibility so is steal pleading not guilty. So it may end up as a bench trial which is fine with me the video is pretty clear. But the wheels of justice turn very slowly.

Thanks for the update!

Thank you for the update. I will be interested to hear whether he changes his plea or gos to trial. If it go's to trial,it might be interesting to hear whether his defense is "That's not me in those videos" or "I was within my rights to do what I did" or "The Devil made me do it".

Yes, will be interesting to see how the charges are played out.

He will plead guilty and pay a fine the day before trial. Were i the judge $500 fine,restitution to complaintant,3 days community service cleaning up popular roadside "poop in the weeds" sites furnished by those who maintain rest areas. Don't know what one of those poop in the weeds sites look like? If you ever make the trip accross the Talimena National Scenic Byway,there is a large,modern rest stop midway on drive. Walk 25 yards into the forest in any direction to witness what not just a couple but hundreds do instead of using the modern facility.

That was my introduction to New York, the first time that I worked there. I pulled over in a roadside stop to walk my dog, and had to dodge the piles of crap and toilet paper. Granted I was there to let my dog do the same. However, I also was carrying a shovel and bag to clean it up.
That's to be expected though, when you have miles and miles of highway with no facilities for travelers to use.

I'm old enough to remember when we left our dogs at home.

That’s pretty hard to do when you’re gone for 3 weeks at a time. What would be the sense of having a dog if it was just going to live at the kennel? Mine aren’t fluff pets anyways… they go out in the woods while I’m working.

Go for a walk. Take a gun. If the dogs are on public property and act aggressive, shoot to kill the dog. Better yet, take a video of the dogs actions.

Dog is the owners responsibility.

Sorry to say, you have butthole neighbors.

Then you get fined for shooting from a public roadway. Keeps people from hunting from roads.
