Murder get 8 years. Loud speakers 3. Yip priorities are correct.

Throw that heartless bastard in prison!

I can only imagine the torment the guys poor neighbours had to go through for him to be jailed. There are few things more harsh than serious noise pollution, its fine every once in a while but day in day out it starts having serious consequences on your health and sleep patterns. Nevermind struggling to work the next day when you've barely had any sleep.

Constant noise pollution could cause neighbors to commit murder.

Yeah. But. A couple of months would have served I reckon.

Guy in Amanzimtoti got jailed for 6 months because he would not shut his dogs up. From what I hear his dogs tormented that neighborhood for years. After dozens of fines and warnings, the judge threw him in the slammer.

Good. Either that or I physically kill those ****ing dogs. I hate dogs... and their owners.

We've got one here a few houses down. Like I cannot even explain to you how annoying this dog is, barks non stop for 4 sometimes 5 hours straight. Myself and several neighbors have called Metro, they show up, give the guy a warning and leave. This has been going on now for about 8 months. I think at some point Metro or someone will lay a charge against him and take him to court, not sure what the process is but it's going to happen any day now, this guy will find himself having to explain to a judge why he has tormented the neighborhood for nearly a year and done nothing.

I'm studying at the moment and battling, it's the type of bark that seems to pierce concrete and headphones.

The dog is an Afrikanus or Africanas however it's spelled.

Edit: That's it, same ****ing dog in that picture :erm:

Two people, or sloppy reporting and editing by the former government-owned newspaper?

I almost did a few years ago. Some of my neighbours still say I did. Dog kept on barking day and night.
Took a piece of plastic condiut and whacked the owners garden gate - sounded like a gun shot.
That shut it up.

The following day l found out that the dog had disappeared never to be seen again.

Still a mystery.

Keep building up a case history. That will help the LE
