Neighbor's Dog In Our Yard

OP, you are a petty man. As petty as it gets.

You have 41 acres and are worked up about a little dog poop? I mean, sure. Die on that hill.

Yes, but the above mentioned scat is small.
If the dog is large, the poop is correspondingly so.

Literally missing the forest for the trees.

Correct. How big and how much poo depends on the diameter of the anus and the amount of food consumed.

OP here.

No. It's 41 acres. We aren't spending 100k to put up a fence to keep out trespassers. I'll shoot their dog first. And no, they do not clean up after their dog.

I’m sure you’re just being over the top but threatening their dog makes you sound unstable. They 100% should not be letting it roam but it’s an owner issue not reason to kill the dog.

Will you also be killing the deer, fox, rabbits, and every other animal that use the bathroom on your 41 acres?

Maybe a simple conversation with them about the dog would resolve the issue.

Do you understand the difference between wild animals and domesticated pets?

Very much so. Also enough to know that this is a problem with the dog’s owner and not something a decent person would kill a dog over. The owners should keep their dog off of OP’s property, without a doubt.

Also, poop is poop. Truly can’t imagine the actual dog poop is more of a problem than the poop of wild animals on a 41 acre piece of property OP uses occasionally.

The owners are definitely wrong but threatening someone’s pet is a sign of being unstable.

Apparently "poop is not poop":

"Hazards of Dog Feces
Health Risks: Contains harmful bacteria and parasites (E. coli, salmonella, hookworms, roundworms, Giardia) that can survive in the soil for years and infect humans and other animals.

Environmental Impact: High in phosphorus and nitrogen, which, when washed into waterways by rain, causes algae blooms, kills fish, and reduces water quality.

Soil Damage: Due to a high-protein diet, dog waste is acidic and can burn grass and kill vegetation, whereas herbivore manure often fertilizes soil.

Disease Transmission: Dogs can pass on antibiotic-resistant bacteria, such as E. faecium and E. faecalis, into the environment.

Hazards of Wild Animal Feces

Natural Decomposition: Wildlife feces are a natural part of the ecosystem, decomposing quickly to return nutrients to the soil, rather than overloading it.

Limited Impact: Wild animal feces do not contain high levels of nutrients or contaminants like dogs, which are not considered a "natural" part of the ecosystem in high concentrations. - Google

+1 Correct. There is a reason dogs are prohibited from many parks and wildlife areas.

Can you name any of these many parks?

Uhh, yeah. Off the top of my head:

Glacier National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park
Yellowstone National Park
Mount Rainier National Park
Mount Hood National Park
Dry Tortugas
Isle Royale National Park
Channel Islands National Park
Arches National Park
Big Bend National Park
Canyonland National Park
Yosemite National Park
.......

Checking Yellowstone, https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/pets.htm

So, now we need to get a dictionary and agree what prohibited means before I bother with any more of your drivel.

I love it when morons don't even read their own links.

Pets are not allowed on boardwalks, hiking trails, in the backcountry, or in thermal areas. Carried pets (in arms, strollers, backpacks, carriers, etc.) are also not allowed in these areas.

I read it. You ignored:

Pets are only allowed in developed areas and must stay within 100 feet (30.5 meters) of roads, parking areas, and campgrounds.

That doesn't sound like prohibited. Of course, you are free to use whatever crazy dictionary you have.

You think posting 'pets are allowed in parking lots, but not in the actual park or trails or boardwalk or woods or thermal areas' supports your stance?

Bless your heart.

Is tracking dog shit into your house and spending 30 minutes cleaning up every time you visit your country house a problem? Is trespassing a problem? Is this really your question???

Only irresponsible morons let their dogs loose on other people’s property. Only spectacularly stupid morons living on a 40+ acre parcel track dog sh*t into their house more than once. If you are spending 30 minutes cleaning up because you stepped in dog sh*t every time you visit your country house? Why are we talking about shooting the dog?

Give us your address and we'll all bring our dogs over to poop on your yard. Idiot.

Then have a conversation with them. Advise them that your security cameras are catching EVERYTHING and there will be next steps if they don't knock it off

Why can’t OP simply ask the neighbor to keep the dog on their own multi acre property?

Because OP is a troll and none of this is real.

+1. There is no way that a generational rural landowner needs advice about this matter from DCUM.
