Is it acceptable to shoot a dog that keeps pissing in my yard? The dog is ginger.
there is a slim but distinct possibility that the owner might take steps to supervise said animal in the hope that (s)he doesn't get shot again.

Heh. Reminds me of Jay Leno's column in this Sunday's motoring section. He was reminiscing about Russell Crowe, who apparently has a Puckish sense of humour, and who shared a flat in his early days with some geezer who kept a cat. Geezer was worried at cat's apparent constipation, unaware that RC was carefully scooping all the cat turds out of the litter tray and flushing them down the loo. RC suggested that maybe the cat wasn't getting enough to eat, so flatmate upped its diet. Still no turds in the litter tray, and flatmate getting increasingly concerned. So RC suggested dosing cat with a laxative, and flatmate duly dosed it. Then when flatmate was out of sight, RC squatted over the litter tray and curled down one humungous dump into it. And when flatmate came to check the litter tray for the hundredth time, it was; "OH MY GOD!!!"
That settles it. I shall shoot the owner, secret the dog in the baggage of a rich american tourist and trust to luck.
As the owner is a giant pan-faced lumpen welsh farm labourer, who appears capable of flinging tractors about, I will be hoping he takes no steps of any kind in the event of being shot. Temporary incapacitation is not an option.
Ah Sir probably does want one of these then www.thejump.net/humor/sniper.jpg failing that www.fmft.net/50%20cal%20rifle.JPG (you might forget the dog and your neighbour)
If you shoot the owner while the dog's still in the house, it'll starve to death prety quickly. Sorted. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
There used to be a dog half a dozen doors away which used to be let out every morning and as often as not it used to cr&p on the pavement right outside my drive - just marvellous when you drive through it and drag it all over your block paving. After raising the matter politely with the owner - who denied it was his mutt despite the fact that I'd followed it back on one occasion - I decided to sort it out man to dog. I kept a starting pistol by the front door and eventually I caught the damn thing in the act. I crept up behind a bush and fired half a dozen VERY LOUD blank rounds a few feet from its ar$e and frightened the living daylights out of it. It looked like one of those cartoon characters with its feet scrabbling wildly for grip but not actually going anywhere! Never did see it again... <BEG>
Heh, SWMBO did something similar when she was childminding. Kid was plonked on our doorstep one morning by the grandmother, who announced the kid was now nappy trained. She wasn't, and SWMBO was not best pleased. Just before granny came to collect the little angel she was treated to a banana and orange juice. Nappy off, knickers on and waved bye bye. Next day the kid was delivered in a nappy, and the car seat had no cover on it.
