No surprise this happened in FL...
We were stationed there and lived next to a moron who kept his lab puppy in a kennel in the backyard almost 24/7...poor thing barked it’s head off all the time.
It took us 18 months to get some sort of mediation to resolve the situation - then we moved! During that time such incidents like the owner took a swing at me in front of other neighbors, the cops told us to shoot or poison the dog a day before we moved, home owners asso wouldn’t enforce rules, etc.
In some places, FL is run like a third world country...
It was low class when I visited back in 1974, doubtless
it has descended further into the abyss in the interim..
Most places. In the South most people are from the third world. And for those who aren't, my theory is warm weather attracts sociopaths.
