Q: My neighbor threatening to kill my dog, if he keep going to his front yard (just sniffing around) while we’re
While my kids outside playing and fetching dog. Why he have to act like that, even my dog is NOT aggressive.
A: There are several statutes that authorize the killing of dogs, mostly pertaining to dogs that kill or harass livestock or poultry. However, your neighbor would certainly be able to claim that the dog was a danger to himself or his family and he killed it for that reason. You wouldn't be able to dispute this since you weren't there while your dog was wandering around his property. In other words, keep your dog on your own property and you won't have this problem.
