I have had trouble with neighbors' barking dogs. It's one of the most frustrating neighbor-relation problems.

However, killing isn't the answer. There are plenty of people who would kill someone who killed their dog, without worrying about the consequences.

Also, as these cases demonstrate, it apparently is rather difficult to get away with poisoning animals.

Not quite. Animals escape from fenced yards or houses. In the second case, the man is accused of throwing poisoned food into his neighbor's yard.

A woman in north Houston was charged with felony animal cruelty for putting out poisoned dog food that resulted in the deaths of multiple dogs.

That showed 'em.

In an unrelated case, a man is accused of poisoning his neighbor's dog, though he vehemently denies it.

Another man is accused of killing puppies by throwing them off a balcony.

I have no idea whether there is a pattern here. Maybe it is just random. I'm sure a lot of animal cruelty is undetected or unsolved.
