Neighbor threatening neighborhood dogs with large (over 5') stick

[Anonymous]

OP here. I actually have dual citizenship, so I am very familiar with many, if not most, of the European countries. But thanks for the enlightenment.

15:48 - Interesting. A stranger is threatening the neighborhood dogs. The dogs are on their own respective properties. I and the neighbors are insane for noticing.

By all means, keep talking. The matter is already in motion, but if you are the offensive party, this could get more interesting.

I thought there were people who liked dogs here, unfortunately. Otherwise I would clue you in on details. Let's just say it is extremely encouraging.

OP You are nuts. It is not against the law to wave a stick while on your own property. Keep your dog leashed and away -- your responsibility, not his.

The guy isn't on his own property, she said. He's approaching their property, and - according to OP - waving a stick in a manner designed to agitate the dogs.

There are assholes around who do stuff like that. I suspect many of the dog haters on this here board do that in their fantasies. And someone worrying that their fucking insane neighbor coming by to do emotional and/or physical harm to their beloved pet doesn't make them crazy.

I really wish that you nutsos who hate dogs would go spend more time protesting outside abortion clinics instead of spending all your time over here.

However, your posts have nothing to do with this thread. Which means you are stupid people who do not bother to read the threads you post on, or you're trolls who just want to make every pet thread about your imagined issues.

Either way, you are not useful here and you are dismissed.

Zip your foolish mouth.

OP here. Well said, thank you!

Why do people chime in for hateful purposes? Are their lives so awful? Apparently, yes.

Thanks to all of the dog people. We have it under control, and have all of the evidence we need. This guy will not be waving any more weapons at anything or anyone; or antagonizing the wrong people and/or dogs. Ever.

Did you have him euthanized?! (I am one of the dog lovers - but just curious what the "ever" means!!)

It's a perfectly legitimate thing for a person to have. I have two handmade ones in my basement that were given to me as a wedding gift. You need to chill out, and install a real fence because those invisible fences suck.

Yes, especially for an elderly gentleman who may not be as steady on his feet as a middle aged person. An elderly person cannot run away quickly if a dog were to come after him; at least the walking stick can give him some measure of defense if he is attacked until help can arrive.
And, yes, those electric fences do not appear to be terribly secure, so I can certainly understand an elderly person feeling nervous when walking by a house where a dog is only restrained by such a "fence."

In many countries, elaborately decorating walking sticks is a lovely folk art. They are quite beautiful and usually come from a culture that values hiking and the outdoors.

The dude was shaking that lovely piece of folk art at a dog, getting the dog riled up. ?!

It seems some PPs refuse to accept what an Invisible Fence does? It keeps dogs on their own property. It is really quite simple.

DC law says 4-feet leash, not invisible fence. Invisible fences are unreliable.

You need to learn to read. The dogs are not on his property. Nice try.

Cat people sure are stupid.
