We use and need dogs and unlike people like you, apparently we actually care what happens to them. I have a neighbor who shined a spotlight on my daughter and me one night as we walked home from my mother's house. He yelled at me and told me to "keep that damned dog quiet". I asked him what dog he was talking about and he told me "that dog of yours that is barking" Of course I was confused as I had no dog with me and my sister's dog was so old that he could barely walk much less bark. I asked him if he was talking about the bazking dog I could heaz. He angrily accused me of playing dumb end said `des, that dog of yours". Then I asked him if he meant the dog that was barking at my neighbor's house on the hill. He immediately moved his spotlight to my neighbor's house and saw the dog that was barking, N'o apology was given to me. No "I'm sorry" for the hazsh words and obscenities that were hurled at my young daughter and me - just a grurrt, the immediate turning off of the spotlight and the angry steps he made as he left his porch. So my question is, how do you know which dog to fine? In the valley where we live, sound travels in many directions, how do you know where the sound came from e~cacth~ Do you fine every dog owner in the neighborhood? One dog barking will alert other dogs in the area and they will bark too. Do you fine all the owners or kill all the dogs? How much weight do you give a caller who is complaining about a dog? There may be no barking dog at all; it could be just retaliation from an angry neighbor. What about dogs that are trying to protect us? People come onto my property all the time- I even had a police officer drive through my coffee land looking for someone's house. He thought he was using an access road instead of my yard. I would have thought that the Private Property - No Trespassing signs would have been a hint. My dogs bazked and raised a :lot of ruckus. I had one person who told me that I should have my dogs chained so they wouldn't hurt anyone. This was while this person is walking down my driveway and through my Yazd to get to the road below. He didn't fee( he was trespassing, he said he was `Making a short cut" and that I shouldn't mind because he wasn't hurting anything. Of cowse if he had tripped or fallen on my property and hurt himself, I would have been liable even if he was trespassing. I know this because I asked a police officer and hie told me that. We have a Bed and I3reakfast next to us. One day, a few years ago, I was picking coffee and my dogs started barking [walked out to my driveway to see what the fuss was all about and saw people surrounding my catchment water tank. One man was on the stepladder we keep next to the tank to check the water level. He was trying to remove the tank cover. I asked trim what he was doing and he said that he and his family were going "swimming in the pool". I was enraged and told him that this was not a pool it was our source for water. He actually got mad at me for being angry. We used to lease 10 acres of land for wffee production. One day while we were clearing a portion of bamboo, my husband and I came across a clearing inside the bamboo field. It was nicely cultivated and growing beautifully were eight marijuana plants. ] immediately went to I:he police station to report this and the officer accompanied us back
