[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I soak some hamburger in rat poison and leave it in the hole on your side of the fence.  Or, you could stand by the hold with one of those long grill lighters.  Or, if you have a weed dragon http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-VT-1-32-Propane-Vapor/dp/B002LH46M8......[/quote]

This is a great idea if you want to get sued big time.[/quote]

Oh, BS.  If the dog takes something from my yard - going through (or under) the fence to get it, [b]I'm not responsible [/b]for the consequences.  [/quote]

I realize you don't want to be held responsible and you think you're in the right.  I know I can't change your mind on that and I don't care to try.  But engaging in the kind of tactic you are recommending is the perfect way to get sued and lose.  News flash, you can and will be held responsible for things that happen on your property, even by trespassers.  Just a reality.  If you know you are going to get trespassers (human or dog) and you specifically plan harm to them, it being your property isn't a defense.[/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to but growing up on a farm, we shot unfamiliar dogs that came onto our property.  All the farmers did since the unknown dogs can be a significant threat to livestock.  I don't know why this case would be any different.  If the neighbors' dog are barking at you and your kids, digging holes under the fence to get at you, it would be reasonable to protect your family.  I don't know about the poison but I think it would be pretty hard to prove that you poisoned a dog deliberately.  Also the law regarding tresspassers and homeowner liability generally do not apply if there was restricted access to the property - like a locked gate.  If the dog is digging under the fence, there is not implied permission to enter the premises.  [/quote]
