How about this one. If your dog/cat gets in a neighbors house and gets into a poisonous substance and dies, whose fault is it, and why?
depends,
You set a containner of anti freeze out in your yard for the expressed purpose of killing the neighbors animal -- you are. otherwise, it's no ones "fault" just a dead pet.
If your dog/cat shows up in a neighbors yard, needless of circumstances, and said neighbor kills it. Whos fault is it, and why?
Or
If your dog/cat shows up in a neighbors yard and kills that neighbors pets (rabbits, birds, etc.), whos fault is it, and why?
Without analyzing the circumstances, it's impossible for me to form an opinion. A collared dog that is simply "tresspassing" does not warrant use of "deadly force" in my book.
If he were threatening a person or other animal, however, unfortunately he should probably get what's coming to him. It would be pretty bad for me, but it's my job to make sure he isn't terrorizing the neighborhood.

Why, its my yard, I want my antifreeze laying in my yard. If it is not on the ground and in a container, why should anyone care. Its my yard, not yours. Your animal was not invited. You would have to prove maluse.

Yet that is the issue. When is it considered a threat? and what happened to personal rights. If a wild hog came on my land and I shot it, no questions asked. (I agree with your point and I do practice great discretion when making a decision on what to do with visiting animal, im simply trying to prove a point, as to whos responsible for owners pets, the owner, or everyone else in society.)

When you say "fault" are you talking legal fault or moral fault?
the "law"probably wouldn't do anything to you, but that would sure as hell be unethical in my book.

Pet owners are responsible for their animals, but that doesn't mean neighbors or property owners have carte blanche to treat all animals on their land as they please. I can't shoot a wild deer walking harmlessly through my back yard--a domestic pet isn't any less of an animal.
