Neighbours dog ran into house, threated cats and mum. Can I...

Can I get the thing put down?
 
The dog is obviously out of control, it ran around MY HOUSE, chased the cats around and scared my mum to a point where when it was gone she was shaking, is barking right now, and the owners just laughed.
 
This isnt a small dog, could easily kill someone, and is obviously out of control
 
I wanna kill the thing. Is there anyway I can get it put down for this?
 
I am so damn angry right now...

Call animal control. They'll deal with it if they aren't incompetent.

if it attacks a person or it attacks and kills one of your cats on your property, then you can call animal control i would think.

With all the dogs that get killed in korea every day, it only seems fair that dogs get to maul a human occasionally.

You want to kill the dog for wondering into your house? Seems like the problem is you leaving your doors open.

If it actually hurts someone, yes you can have it killed

It broke the side gate, and the back door was open as my mum had stepped outside.

Don't have the dog killed. I will be very sad if you do.

Ha, a little beagle came THROUGH our dog-door the other day. I ran upstairs to find two dogs barking at each other, it was so funny.

Did it hurt anyone? 
If yes, then you can. 
If no, then its the owners problem. 
If you try and get the dog put down just because it scared your mother and your cats..thats a bit extreme. 
If its out of control, its not the dog, its the owner. 
 
wait..you want to kill it because it ran round your house? 
You have serious anger management problems.

I don't understand how a dog can break into your house, show us some pictures of this savage beast.

" Was it the first time it did something like that? If so, you're just overreacting and "It's a big dog and could easily kill someone" is stupid, because the size says nothing about its personality. "

" Did it hurt anyone? If yes, then you can. If no, then its the owners problem. If you try and get the dog put down just because it scared your mother and your cats..thats a bit extreme. If its out of control, its not the dog, its the owner.  wait..you want to kill it because it ran round your house? You have serious anger management problems. "

It seems that I cannot get it putdown unless it caused a certain amount of harm, which it did not acheive.
 
Thanks for the help.

"scared my mum to a point where when it was gone she was shaking "

The problem here is the neighbors that have no control over the animal. They really laughed? What ever their reaction, I'd be taking the issue straight to them. I have it good. My neighbors apologized when their dog ran on my driveway.

Kill him. Kill him dead. 
 
like with a rock or something

Whoa, wait, it ran around YOUR HOUSE, maybe the dog missed the sign outside? 

You're problem is not with the dog, it's with the owners. If you can get this dog killed for something as little as this, I want to know when I can start putting down human scum that attack other humans, or break into their property, that's only fair, right? 
 
You want to sort this, don't take this out on the dog, you're problem is with the owners, so deal with them. Oh and also, this dog didn't attack anyone in that house, not the cats, or your mother right? So I can hardly see it as being such a huge threat, it's size doesn't matter, isn't that what men are always telling themselves anyway? It's not the size that matters it's what you do with it that counts?

" Call animal control. They'll deal with it if they aren't incompetent. "

Just call animal control to catch the damn thing or leave open the front door until it leaves. At least it's not a racoon.

Just close the door once you're outside. This isn't rocket science, everyone else in the neighborhood has figured out this concept. "

If you're seriously concerned about it happening again, buy some hollow dog treats. Pack them full of baker's chocolate and hide them around your yard, in bushes, etc. It's a great deterrent.

Tell your mother to grow a spine. Wanting a poor animal dead because it got in your house. The fact no one got hurt is proof enough the thing means absoluteley no harm to anyone because if it had wanted to attack it would of done.
 
How did it get in there? Perhaps it was chasing your damn cats that just crapped in it's garden. I know my neighbours stinking cats keep crapping in our garden and i happily let my dog out to scare them off.

Sounds like your beef is with the dog's owners rather than the dog itself

You ought to be able to leave your door open without fear of your neighbours pet wandering into your house - particularly if it's a potentially dangerous pet.  Just straight up tell them "Control your animal, or I'll control it for you".  Note that this also works with errant children.

if this is a common thing, than you could probably get the dog taken away from the negligent owner. But to have it killed it actually has to bite or wound you or your animals.

you should leave the dog's head at your neighbor's front door. see if he's still laughing

Your mum sounds like one of those people that freak out and cry if a dog sniffs their crotch.  Also, if a dog can break through your gate...well then it isn't much of a gate now is it?  City people...     

"Super Sambo which I find more offensive than you getting bit by a Pit Bull "

The thing that everybody seems to forget is that dogs aren't supposed to be off their leads when their owners are walking them, unless they're in a wide open park area. 
The fact that this dog is off its lead is a big deal in a case like this. 
Make sure you mention this when you call animal control up. 
It'll make the owners look really really bad.

She was almost killed by a dog when she was younger, my brother was almost killed by a dog when he was younger and just as she got over her fear (or phobia as it were) she was attacked again.  I think she has a right to be scared of them. It tried to bite her today, but mised twice, and is the same breed as the one who attacked her. "
