Re: Inconsiderate Scum Bag - What Do i Do
this thread reminds me of a neighbour at our other property (vacant at the time). She had the nerve to complain to my son about driving his car on the back garden because her kids could have been hurt!!!
SHE had decided it was ok for them to go play in OUR yard! (Her two plus acres with basketball court, climbing frame, AND trampoline obviously not enough for the little sh...... darlings), and then she tells MY son off for driving HIS car on OUR land on which she or her kids had no business being in the first place!
:curse:

Re: Inconsiderate Scum Bag - What Do i Do
I posted this a few days ago in a thread about a boy who was dog-bitten. I say take the atter into your own hands; it will send a message to the owner about his ignorant and negligent behaviours. Under no circumstances should you threatenthe own of course; there is an absolute difference between people and animals - so don't even suggest I'm some psychotic maniac. Animals are disposible under all circumstances - human life is sacrosanct under all conditions.
I have hunted every animal possible (in Europe) without remorse;So why treat dogs any different? If any dog attackedme,damaged my property, it would breath its last breath within seconds. Get over the "animal rights" angle. What would you say if the dog tears off someone's face, or, runs into traffic causing a terrible injury to the driver? For god's sake,we kill ants, mice, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, etc. with impunity. ? If you had a rat on your property you wouldn't think twice about trapping it?
Original post reply:
I lived in Gauteng region of South Africa for eight months a few years back, and a similar thing happened to my fellow lodger's 7 y/o daughter. The SA dog laws were totally blase and couldn't-be-arsed; this sounds like sounds like your AB situation. Of course the police force were more concerned with the blasted paperwork, and the owners of the dog were totally ignorant and didn't apologise to Geoff or his spawn either. We all suggested a civil lawsuit to him, but found out that it would be costly and long-winded. What Geoff finally did was he had a friendy pub chat with some locals, who put him on to a local worzel to bait the dog - I think the culchie used engine coolant or baker's chocolate (!). Needless to say there soon was one ex-dog, one unhappy owner, and the police didn't look further than the other side of the station desk. Geoff had some level of gratification as in the boonies animal life is dirt cheap.

Maybe you should have complained to animal welfare when the dog was suffering and not now when your poor lawn is.
Maybe you should have trained your dogs not to damage your door.
Does pee damage the lawn?
You are leaving, I suspect you are taking all your accumulated stress out on this incident. In the end it's only you who will suffer, so ignore it.

Re: Inconsiderate Scum Bag - What Do i Do
I think I'd be tempted to do nothing until I knew the exact date of my flight.
If say my flight was october 20th then I would start collecting the poo in an old bucket from October 15th.
On the 20th - day of my flight, I would happily dump the whole lot on his front door step and maybe even smear it around a bit and then jump into my taxi and straight off to the airport.
