There is an aggressive stray dog in your residential area. One of your neighbours feeds this dog in front of your house even after repeated requests not to do so as it creates a nuisance for you. What will you do?

  • A.Ward off the dog
  • B.Abuse and fight with your neighbour
  • C.Apprise the neighbour of the law, request him not to feed in front of your house and if required put a police complaint
  • D.Kill the dog

Answer: C

The best course is to apprise the neighbour of the law, request him not to feed in front of your house and if required put a police complaint.

This deals with the nuisance through persuasion first and lawful means after. Stray animals are protected, and residents may feed them, but not in a way that causes nuisance to others; explaining this and, if needed, approaching the authorities keeps the dispute within the law.

Killing the dog is cruel and illegal. Abusing and fighting with the neighbour escalates the conflict. Merely warding off the dog does not address the cause, since the feeding continues in front of your house.
