[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fence your property.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.

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

Maybe a simple conversation with them about the dog would resolve the issue. [/quote]

Do you understand the difference between wild animals and domesticated pets?[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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
