Neighbors dogs

The Geneva Convention isn't relevant, you're not acting as part of a uniformed military force.

California criminal law would be what's relevant for you in this context.

Don't leave poison for the dog, but it would be a shame if your unsafe to share with dogs leftovers were forgotten outside and eaten.

Ask your landlord , whose fence it is.? One cheapo idea . is to get fishing line and stick a couple of post like things
at each end of the offending fence . then run two levels of line approx 6 inches apart running horizontally Higher than the level of the fence ,with the fence . 80 to 100 pound test fishing line . hard to see , easy to run into for a jumping dog . Then soft dog food ..in a bowl .. if nothing else works mix lots of ex lax with soft canned dog food .Lolzzz .. Uhm ? maybe not ?.
Mostly just take a picture ..Regardless , show it to animal control ,anyway .
Best of Luck with the situation, I know you dont need the extra greif in your life...a hug is offered.

The fence is an issue and you need to speak to your sister since she is the home owner to negotiate with your neighbour.

I (ironically) have three Chinese neighbours and they have let their trees grow over my house. When I spoke with them they were friendly but politely told me they can't cut (or won't) cut the branches/trees.

My misfortune is local council said they cannot enforce the neighbors to cut the trees and I can't even do it without written permission from them. I spoke with a lawyer and was advised to wait till my property or fence is damaged then claim on insurance.

Perhaps your sister can claim the money to fix the fence with her home insurance to keep the dogs out?

last year when the neighbors dogs had the nerve to get into my backyard, i tattled to my sister.

my sister told me that if i bothered her again, she would sell the house i live in.

my minimum wage, part time job does not pay enough $$$ for room and board.

also, i am afraid that if i tattle to the local council or a lawyer or anything like that, the neighbors will take out Whistleblower Revenge* on my worthless corpse by vandalizing my worthless corpse or setting my house on *fire* or anything like that. there are just too many precious lil "people" that live in that house (or appear to live in that house) and there is just one of me.

constantly outnumbered overpowered outsmarted

s**t.

maybe i just have to wait for the dogs to bite me, and the "claim on insurance", like your lawyer told you to do.

Just to recap:
He cannot talk to his sister the landlord or she will throw him out of her house.


Fences are tricky things so I would avoid touching it completely until your sister is motivated by other reasons to do something about it.
Are you in a position to spend a substantial amount of money? If so....
You can build a second fence. It will be closer to your house by 2 feet I'd suggest at least. The fence dimesions will depend on your current situtation. Obviously 8 to 10 feet tall.
Or you can build a sun room or green house that is attached to your house so you can go outside and tend some plants without the dogs being able to get to you.
For much less money, you can defend yourself. I would suggest pepper spray in your hand/attached to your body whenever you venture outdoors.
Also, most dogs are not too keen about a bottle with a sprayer filled with water. Or even a squirt gun. This can give you extra time to get away.
Hopefully your sister doesn't expect you to tend the back garden on a regular basis. You can always hire someone else to do this if your budget allows.
I'm sorry you are in this situation.

a couple of minutes ago, @ least one of the neighbors dogs in my backyard. next to the window, barking @ me.

i do not feel comfortable interacting with the neighbors. their dogs have been in my yard multiple times. even though they later fixed the fence or something, that was only good for so long. i think the neighbors are not "good people" (although nobody is perfect). they are not nice and i am afraid they have felony convictions and psychiatric diagnoses and if i knock on their door, trying to talk to them, Buddha knows what they will do to me.
