[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, the neighbor isn't going to do anything unless you force their hand. [b]You can suggest that they attach a hot wire to both the top and bottom pf the fence on their side.[/b] A small electric fence charger, a ground rod, standoffs and wire aren't going to break the bank and might deter the dog from digging under or climbing over the fence.  I doubt they will be receptive though.  Point a security camera at the back yard so that you will have a video to send to animal control the next time. Also, call and report any and all incidents to animal control. [/quote]

Sorry but, that is cruel and there are other ways to control the dog than that.[/quote]

Have you ever actually touched hotwire? We had to use it to protect our chickens from wild predators. It’s not excruciatingly painful, just enough to deter dangerous animals from hurting or killing.

I hope you don’t eat meat, because Hotwire is used to confine cattle. Or go to any zoos, because all the exhibits have Hotwire to keep wild animals out. [/quote]

The things you mention are irrelevant.  Cruel is cruel whether I visit zoos or eat meat.  You don't have to be "pure" to call something out.  I also think choke chains and e-collars are cruel.[/quote]

I'm vegetarian and have my own chickens for eggs. No animals are tortured or killed because of me. Is it "cruel" for me to use hot wire to protect my hens from neighborhood dogs that escape? Or would it be less cruel for me to let them die? Or should O just buy factory farmed eggs from the store?

Examine yourself before calling out others. Hot wire is NOTHING compared to the cruelty that happens due to your need to eat food. [/quote]
