how should I tell my new trashy neighbors to keep their puppy off my property (lemmy.world)

They let their new puppy outside without a leash and it just comes over to my property and gets into my things that aren't confined to my fence and scares my ducks. This puppy is a pit and is going to get huge. I'm afraid it'll get to my birds or dogs.

How do I tell the super trashy people that own the dog to tie it tf up? I don't want to make enemies with these people, but they need to get their shit together.

They're the only people on the street who don't have their dog fenced in or on a time-out/leash. The road is incredibly busy so the dog is liable to get hit really quick if it decides to run into the street.

For the dog? That doesn't sound like a great use of resources.

For you.

Please tell me how an untrained, unsupervised, and unfenced pit bull is a really great addition to a community.

My suggestion is that they fence their yard to keep the dog out.

Are you a registered animal control person in their area or just a puppy poisoning enthusiast?

OP should spend a few thousand dollars fencing in their yard because their neighbors don't care about controlling their pit bull? I don't know where you're from, but in the US, the responsibility to fence and manage pets falls on the owners.

I don't agree with the poisoning part, but I do agree with pits being a huge problem. I despise the breed I did get a large portion of my yard fenced in for my dogs so they can be outside off leash and not be a problem. The neighbors got their puppy like 3 days after the fence got done. My duck enclosure could not be fenced in easily because of its location. It has its own fence for the outside part, but that's just chicken wire. A pit could easily bite or shove their way through it.

Only four percent of the world population is in the United States, and how would Bernie Sanders feel about you poisoning a puppy?

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Okay but me and OP both are and I really don't care lol. What kind of response is that?

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -2 points 8 months ago

I'd build myself a fence and involve the appropriate authorities if needed as that dog isn't my business.
