Dog will eat the sponges and possibly block his digestive tract

Thanks Ed. I learn something new and useful seemingly every day

Yes, that many posters give out bad advice.

I'm sure you've killed a few mosquitoes and other bugs over the
years because they annoyed you. Do you recommend it to other
people?




Only you would equate killing mosquitoes and dogs.

Live in a Disney fantasy world if you like, but there's really no
difference.

Only in your opinion.

It's chauvinistic for people to claim one type of life has
more value than another.



I get the impression you would like to live in a lawless society.
There are laws in just about every state about harming domestic
pets,but you would rather act on your own and leave lethal traps for
them(except that the law doesn't see it that way.),in "defense of
your property",rather
than talk to the owner,or get the authorities involved.

Naturally, you know what's best IN THEORY, but I've dealt with
irresponsible dog owners for the past 25 years. There are two types
and ONLY two types:

Type 1: Knows that what they're doing is wrong, but doesn't give a
damn. Type 2: Doesn't realize that they're ****ed up. Too stupid to
own a dog, in other words.

My preference is to use the existing laws in my favor. Here, it's 3
strikes and your doggy is taken away forever. That usually takes
weeks. I've learned to compress the process into as little as a week
in one case. This usually involves retraining the dog catcher. Many
believe the dog owner should have a little time in between visits, to
"think about their mistake". Nope.

As far as eliminating the animal, I'd prefer to use a bullet, but this
is not possible in my neighborhood. However, make no mistake about
this, Jimmy boy: All day long, farmers cause nuisance animals to
vanish, and it's perfectly legal.

FARMERS,in agriculture-zoned areas,sure.
But most if not all of the queries HERE are from URBAN homeowners,where it
is is NOT legal.

If I had the opportunity, I'd do the
same. You can claim that a dog is different from an insect because
people are emotionally attached to dogs, but that matters little to
anyone but the dog owner.

And the law authorities.

I live in an apartment,and I have about 30 years of experience with dog
owners and poop where it shouldn't be. There are a minority of owners who
either curb their dog in the proper places or clean up after them without
instruction,then there are the ones who were just unaware or clueless(who
straighten up after a talk.),and then the ones who just don't care(even
after you talk with them).

So,that's THREE types.
