Not really a Leash Law, animal owner fails to control his animal leads to an animal abuse complaint.  As a pet owner, it is your responsibility to attend to your pets.  If they stray and cause harm to another land owner, its a case of animal abuse and the animal owner is at fault.  I have seen it in action several times in my subdivision.  Neighbor shot a weiner dog that attempted to bite his kid while the owner was at church.  Weiner dog made it thru the doggy door into the floor in front of couch before he bled out and died.  Neighbor came home from church and found it, started throwing the monkey my way.  Guy who shot the dog fessed up, fight ensued, Deputies arrived.  Wrote the dog owner a ticket for animal abuse. 

Wait... You live in a subdivision? I pictured you as a bee keeping, veggie growing, feral cat shooting country boy. 😀

Doesn't every subdivision have one ?

Its a rural gathering of homes.  I still have room to sling a dead cat.

The way the deputies explain it around here, its inhumane to let an animal out of your control as a pet.  Has nothing to do with a leash law.  A pet is something you nurture and care for constantly.  To let it roam free is just neglect.  And a fine.

And, Missouri is a Stand Your Ground, Castle Doctrine state.  Any threat can be dealt with lethally.  A person has the right to protect themselves and family from a biting dog.  Its owner does not have to be warned.

If I ever shot anybody's dog, or even cat that wasn't bothering anything..... I'd have to turn the gun on myself afterwards because I wouldn't be able to live with myself.  

I don't understand some people.

A wild feral cat is a different case.   I can't have one crawling around in my customers boats, so if I can't persuade them to fund another place to play.....then yeah.   

I'm talking about people's pets here.

         It is a pet,

 Not taken care of running as it chooses. Marking everything in garage. Stinks like cat in there.

Put a couple litter boxes out for them? I mean, you’ve got bird feeders, right? It’s kinda the same thing ...but different. 😀

              The world is it's litter box. I was going to relocate it to another world, or I mean another place in the world. Live traps out and what did I catch? A frigging skunk! You and your dogs know about skunks right? This added fuel to the fire and I get even more fired up with this east wind and the skunk essence that comes with it .
