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.
When you vote for extreme ideas
You get extreme actions.
Better to remove the vocal cords from the judge. This is animal cruelty and the judge should be prosecuted !
WTF, hwang stupid can some people /judges get ? There are other and better ways to solve this problem.
Is the court going to pay for this asinine program
Is there any judge out there with any common sense. If you are talking about that dog in this picture, his job is to bark to protect his sheep or any other animals he is watching over.
That the job of a dog is to bark and let people know something is out there to bark and protect there owners or HURDING animals Cruel I would move out of that State could not do this to my dog this judge should be disbarred

Yeah here’s one thing no one wants to address. Half the time a dog barks it’s because it’s the neighbors that complain being a loud hypocritical$#%&!@* I know my dog barks at the noise my neighbor makes and then I have to deal with law enforcement, which I now have to make a call for every disturbance so they can have an actual accurate pattern of the b******t. I’m going to make it plain here, maybe the dogs bark because your neighbor is annoying self entitled$#%&!@*that thinks they have some kind of power because they know how to dial 911…
