If I killed
 
every dog in a one-mile radius of my home in a brutal, yet swift manner, what is the worst that could happene to me?

All of the day and all of the night there are about a million dogs constantly barking and fighting. It's really annoying when I have the window open and I can hear it extra loud.

I am of the opinion that you should not e able to own a dog if you live on a council estate or anywhere where they are unable to roam free.

I do not blame the dogs as such, but it's rather impractical to kill all the owners. Bloody Convention on Human Rights!

My dog died a week ago. The poor thing was only six years old and it came very sudden. I'd kill you if you had killed my dog.

Cats are superior to dogs.

Cats are brilliant.

Because they're quiet!

That and they can actually take care of themselves

ASG: Simply distribute/leave lying around some free dog food and your problems will soon be solved.

However, there may be a period of extra noise while the dogs succumb to the various ailments the contaminated foods have given them, but if you factor this in, it'll be a lot more convenient than hunting them down and shooting them...

2 days ago they did a 'cat-catching' razzia in my neighbourhood. they caught all wild cats, castrated them, then set them back again. there are many wild cats here and they're even worse then dogs i'd say; in a way of making noise etc.

Not really.
When are you going to confront your obvious (to others at least) sexually related feelings for me?

I think you must have me mistaken for someone else, I'm not a paedophile.

I'm not really sure what living on a council estate has to do anything, a good proportion of council houses (or ground floor maisonettes/flats) on estates would have some sort of garden, while there are obviously many owner occupiers who live in flats or houses without particularly huge gardens (although dogs roaming free sounds a bad idea anyway). Anyway, I know you said "or anywhere where they are unable to roam free" but it just seems a bit weird that you selected the 11% or so of the population who live in local authority owned housing.

Generally social housing tenancy agreements would contain a clause about only owning pets if they doesn't cause a nuisance to your neighbours. Some might go further and say you're not allowed one in a flat at all, but I'm not sure. I know our housing officers are always getting complaints about noisy dogs, but it's difficult to know what do ("Hey, let's threaten to evict an entire family including young children because their dog barks too much"). Although I despise all pet ownership, it does seem some complaints seem to be down to neurotic neighbours too. Obviously evil dog usually = evil owner.

Anyway yeah, dogs are pretty terrible on a number of levels, but it's one of the collective mental illnesses we seem to have in this country. Additionally, one of the rather tragi-pathetic consequences of the glorious society we've developed is that quite a lot of vulnerable/old type people seem to rely on pets for "companionship".

Conversely perhaps one of the few benefits for a society where people move more often, work more hours, marry later and live in higher density housing patterns is that dog ownership will decline. I'm not sure, I don't know anyone under the age of thirty who owns a dog or cat, it seems to be something you do when you become (even more) dull & middle aged, or just before senility kicks in.

Of course, perhaps the great European famine of 2037 will solve the issue once and for all. :(

there's no great mystery. I live on a council estate so it's where my attention is focused on the attention. If dogs were bnned in cities or blocks of flats it wouldn't really have any impact on my situation.

Pretty much all of my neighbours seem to own a dog. All day they are barking, either at people passing by when they are in the garden or dogs barking at each other. I don't think there is anything wrong with the dogs as such, there's just too many of them so it doesn't stop.

Why spend time with your eldery mother when you can buy her a dog? :(

Old people having to slay their dog, the only thing that keeps them going, for one final meal. there's a film in there somewhere.

In regard to Britain the Dalai Lama said: "I don't understand a people who are more friendly to their pets than their neighbours." Awesome.

It annoys me when young people roam around with dogs (that aren't their parents). This is also a big problem in France, where every single tramp seems to have one. This means there's shit everywhere in some cities. Also a lot of young people had dogs in Germany (to be 'ard according to my German friend). There was a point when a lot of them had to be put down. Burnt as I recall. She could have been making that up though.

I don't mind rural people who own dogs. But owning them when you live in a densely urban environment seems a little selfish. The only exception is people who train guide-dogs. And probably those who rescue abused dogs (if they're sure they can look after them). The companionship (for the old) argument is okay I suppose, but I'd like it if they just preferred to talk to fellow humans instead.

It's all a little selfish in my opinion. Hello old buddy, old pal, how about a walk around Watford!

There definitely needs to be an apostrophe here somewhere!

You should buy a bigger, more vicious dog and go around picking off the smaller ones until you can enforce silence in your area.
