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.
So true
Nope, an upstairs apartment had a hound dog….didn’t stop that Freakin dog.
Inhumane. Oregon continues to become less and less a place normal people will want to live.
What we in Denver ought to do is round up all the cats and allow them into the judge’s home and crucify their furnture.
You are confused. It’s the left wingers who want to “no platform” anyone they disagree with.
Stay on topic, will you?
That’s horribly inhuamne! Some “judge” needs to do some serious research before passing that order.
they can be trained to not bark
Then what good are they ?
I laugh, but it IS true!!!
