Mean Neighbors

My family and I live near cruel humans. Just because I bark at them, they throw things at me like rocks. I think they purposely want to hurt me and my family. They've even thrown food, bones, and toys in my yard. They know I love food, and my grampa found a shortrib bone in my mouth. Grampa had to pull it out or I would have choked. Even a knife was found in our yard. Mommy called the police on them many times, but the police said they can't do anything. Does anyone know what else mommy can do to protect me and the rest of human and furry family?

wow...im so sorry about what you and your human family are going through...i know the police cant do anything because it happened to me where i used to leave with my cats and the stray/feral cats i took care of so my family bought a house where they could be safer and i found homes for the rest of them too. I would suggest contacting local animal shelters or the prevention of cruelty to animals they might be better help because they have animal cruelty investigators. Also take pictures of the dangerous objects the neighbors trow you might never know when you might need those pictures as proof. FOr now try not to leave the dog alone outside unless your there

I only bark at people that I think are a threat or mean, I don't bark at everyone. You must be able to tell that they are scum. The picture idea is great, documentation will get you everywhere. Calling law enforcement even though they can't do much documents that there has been a problem. This is a bit of work but a webcam is about $30 and if you don't have one a DVD burner is about $30. If you have a good spot to put one where they won't see it you can record what happens then you will be able to prosecute. Momma had people stealing from her yard so this is the avenue she explored to put an end to it. Also wearing gloves and handling the objects they throw and zipping them up in plastic bags and saving them in case you are able to prosecute might help. It shows the cruelty in what they've done. Laws are different in every state so just do some research and make a campaign out of it. Good luck, we all hope you get them!!

Thank you everybody for your help!  Mommy emailed the HSUS and is waiting for a reply.  She forgot about the ASPCA, so she'll go ask for some advice from them, too.  These neigbors are really mean.  They even play their music reaaaally loud when it's time to sleep.  They have those little pellet guns, too, which makes mommy even more mad.  She saw one of the kids shooting it as the cars went by, so she yelled at that kid.  I don't know what's wrong with these mean people......all i know is that they're really aweful....I get really scared with that sound of that pellet gun.....

you should be careful...where i used to live one of my evil neighbors actually shot at me and other stray cats with a b-b gun...my mommy saw that and videotapped it and called the police they went in there with guns later that day and arrested him because they thought it was a real gun ... good luck on getting them to stop or move away

I'm happy mommy comes out with me and the rest of the furries when we go potty.  She doesn't trust them at all.  I hope they move.

Like Mechi said, if you get something on tape and have the cops agree to investigate they may find something else that will get them in big trouble. Drugs or weapons, then they'll leave you alone cuz they'll be in jail! hehe

sounds like those people should be sent to a puppy mill to live in a cage with poopies on them and not enough food and water...then we should all go by to kick them.  Okay so it's a dream of my mommies to have all people who are cruel to animals live in the worst enviornment possible... 

 

Be very careful they might try to poison you with food or something...we don't want to see you hurt so be careful.

If you are having problems with your neighbors, its important that your Mommy or Daddy go out with you each time you go out and supervise you and check the yard for things they may have thrown in.  I know it sounds bad, but Mommies friend had a similar problem and the neighbor threw poison over the fence and the dog died.   So its really important that you are watched closely when you have problems with bad neighbors. 

Make sure you have documentation on anything just for safety sake.  Check city ordaninces too, might be something about throwing stuff or trash into a neighbors yard, or even loud music... 

Good luck.

If you can prove that they are throwing those things in your yard you can have them charged with trespassing.  But the tough part might be proving it.  I like the idea of the camera - especially if you can do it for just $30.

 

Otherwise, Kirby is probably right.  You don't want to anger them more - you never know what they might do next.

 

Do you live in a neighborhood with a homeowner's association?  If so, that might be the best route to take.

Can't you call the Humane Society if my senile mind is correct they are in charge of animal cruelty in Hawaii and that is down right cruel or better yet call Vector Control. They sound like rats and need some control - cause I am from Hawaii and that is NO way to spead Aloha!

oh wow sorry to hear about all the trouble you and yoru family have to go through, my mommy said that one thing you could do is set up a video and record your backyard to have proof for if something does happen which I hope nothing does. I agree with Pepeiao call the animal agency there they could tell you what you can do and you may even be able to press animal charges on them. good luck

I wanna Tell Ya All a True story of a Mean Person! This Happened when My Mom Was Jus a child!  She was Close with Her Grandma N Grandpa and spent most weekends with them! Then, even More time in Summer! Well, they had this Ol Smooth coat Dog, A really nice Dog, with the original name of Spot! This Dog had never shown aggression! Well, One Day when My Mom was there By Herself! This Man showd up looking for her Grandpa! At first My Mom wasn't afraid but, Ol Spot, Stepped in Between Her and this Man and every Hair came up on His Bristles And He snarled and Growled! Ofcourse then my Mom got Nervous But tried Not to Show it!  If the man even shifted Spot got more intense! Then the Man did Leave! Guess What, That dog did know he was Bad and he Was! My Mom, Told Her Grandpa and then Latter, Her Mom! They did Know Who he was! With in a week or so, That Man Shot every animal on his Mothers Property, Then Shot His Self! So, Please Be Very Careful, You never Know what Bad People will Do!

Some people are so stupid. Oh no a dog is barking at me,let's try to kill it.

 

Until you quit having trouble with you neighbor's please go outside and check the yard before letting your dog outside.

That's horrible. I've noticed Ozzie and mainly, Angel, come inside with small bones before, and I've seen them outside. On one side of us our neighbours absolutely LOVE our dogs (during the winter they even shovelled a path to our fence because they give them treats (milk bones, etc)) But I wouldn't expect them to give them bones without asking, especially such small ones. I don't like the neighbours on or other side, but the wife of the house doesn't mind the dogs at all, even when they bark at her (she will say to me: "It's alright, they're just curious" when I try to get them to stop barking) but her husband has a bad temper, we've never gotten on his bad side so I don't think he would throw bones over the fence. And we don't even know the people behind us.

 

I hope everything works out for you and no one/animal gets hurt!

Someone throws little pieces of glass in our yard, but Max never eats them or anything. Maybe you should go buy a tie out stake ,and tie your doggie there so he can't go everywhere he wants too :[

Its down right DISGUSTING what some humans do to other living beings!! Mummy says that she wants to hang her head in shame because HUMANS seem to be the most EVIL and destructive force on the planet!!!  She says that sometimes she feels just so AWFULL to be apart of the human race!! She says that when she comes back to life in another form it will be a tree.... So that she can give back oxygen and life to others that mankind has soo cruelly destroyed!!!! ( Sorry but I had to share that after I read this forum!!)

I pray that you can get better neighbours soon Ku'ulei
