My wife and I are living with my parents right now while we find jobs. The neighbors across the street have a dog that they just let roam and is constantly hanging out in and around the road and coming way into our yard, pissing off our dogs.
I don’t know what the fuck to do. My parents talked to them a few months ago but nothing changed.
My dad wants to call animal control, my wife agrees. My mom doesn’t want to do that, because animal control here is just two fucking cops at the sheriffs office, and obviously she doesn’t like calling the fucking cops, both because she doesn’t want to call the cops on someone but also because she doesn’t want the cops coming on our property either and finding who knows what.
My wife is (rightly) pissed, and terrified of a driver hitting it, whether that driver is her or someone else.
Chat what the fuck can we do about this
hm that's a toughie, what about a humane society see if maybe they could intervene? You're right in not calling the cops, don't do that.
Ooh yeah that might be a good option.
I really wish animal control wasn’t just two fucking cops. Where my in-laws live they have a dedicated animal support office, this is a problem that is very easily solved with no cops involved.
I mean animal control is still a cop, just a dog cop
Put dog in car, drive to in-laws, drop off dog at a humane no-kill shelter to be adopted out as the sweet social creature it sounds like it's trying to be?
(none of my ideas are good. except observing that the chickems need to be kept safe, not just from the road but all sorts of predators.)
Hopefully it does and good luck.
