People living next door to barking dogs face the challenge of trying to work with their neighbors to get the problem resolved in a fair manner.
Complicating the problem is the fact that dogs bark as a means of communication, as well as a way to ward off unwanted intruders to their property.
At the same time, pet owners have a responsibility to ensure their pets don’t become local nuisances or a threat to those who aren’t the owners.
A recent court decision in Oregon has confirmed an extreme solution to a long-standing dispute between neighbors over one couple’s dogs barking continuously.
In extreme cases, dog owners can face the prospect of having to have dogs undergo a surgical procedure to “debark” them to cut down on excessive noise. On the next page, learn how an Oregon court resolved such a dispute and the lingering ill will that continues to fester between the parties involved.
They are crazy,cruelty to animals,have any muslims near by.?
Oregon…where the gov is personally responsible for abortion on demand & the murder of Leroy Finnicum?? Are there enough tax breaks to live under that kind of bs??
Cutting the dogs vocal cords is not not unfair to the dogs, but interferes with their communications with the livestock. This property has to be pretty big for all the livestock and dogs. Just how close is this house where the neighbors are complaining? Either move the house (if you can) further from the neighbors or offer to buy their house ( rent it out to deaf people) or sell the property and move to a locality where dog barking is not an issue. The neighbors sued for $230, 000 and still want the dogs silenced. Ridiculous!
Error on phone should be cutting the vocal cords on the dogs is not only unfair…
This is cruelty to animals, the judge should be ashamed. Where is the humane society with this?
