Angry Neighbors Battle It Out With Signs

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. - A feud between neighbors that began over roving pets has sparked a biting dialogue using homemade signs along the side of the road. Pam and Ron Castle say their neighbor, Larry Shrock, shot their beagle mix named Jake on June 1 and burned his body in an incinerator.

According to a police report, the Shrocks said they asked the Castles to keep their dogs at home, worried the animals would try to attack rabbit hutches on their property. When the dogs returned, Shrock told police he shot one of the animals. No charges have been filed.

Unsatisfied with the response from police and his neighbors, Ron Castle used red paint to write on 4-foot-by-8-foot plywood board: "My Neighbor, Larry Shrock, House on Left up on Hill (arrow) Shot My Dog, Then Burned It." He added an expletive to the sign he posted alongside the road near his house.

"I didn't know what else to do," he said. "What can I do to this man that has caused me so much grief?"

On June 7, after a second neighbor complained Shrock shot another dog, Castle took out the paint again.

"Mowrey Road Dog Killer Ahead On Left, Two Shot and Killed, One Burned."

The Shrocks fought back with blue paint and a sign of their own.

"Neighbor's Dog Killed My Pet Bunnies, Scared My Granddaughter. I Warned Him Twice."

Castle disagreed, and penned a third sign, which denied the rabbit allegations.

Shrock has since taken down his sign, but Castle's three messages remain visible to eastbound drivers who crest a small hill in the community of about 7,800 residents about 20 miles northwest of Fort Wayne.

"My wife and I fear for our lives," Shrock told The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne.

They should fear for their lives until their entire family is shot dead and burned in the very same incinerator.

Posting signs is for pussies.

I am sorry if this message has offended any pussies.

Roaming dogs? Leash laws.? I'd shoot the fuckers too!

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Not every place has a leash law. I see your point on letting the dogs run around the neighborhood. But why did he shoot them? They were beagles for christ sake. If anything else call the dog catcher. Unless a beagle comes up to me foaming at the mouth about to latch on to my goodies I'm not going to shoot the damn thing.

Guide: They're going to park their cars over there.

Buwhaaaaahaaaa..........write it right!!

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

So you'll shoot any dog except the rabid one attacking your nutsack? Well it's your decision bro but I think it should be the other way round

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

So you disapprove of someone protecting their bunnies from attack on their own property.

But you think that the entire human family should be murdered because their dad did so.

Wonderful.

I did not say should be shot dead, but I was pointing out that upon seizing the moment to shoot 2 dogs and incinerate one he may have very good reason to fear for his and his families lives.

Weren't the rabbits in cages?, or were they just running loose and he considered them his?

I own a dog and hes a good boy, if someone shot him dead, their family tree is getting pulled out by the roots.

If he shot the dogs on his property and espically after prior warnings than I dont see the problem. Its done every year with coyotes and other wild dogs. I probably wouldnt have done it myself just becouse it probably isint worth the extra trouble but if its on your property and you feel it to protect your family or envestments (bunines can be a envestment) then oh well.

Now that is a sad statement on moral values today.

Here is a morality lesson:

Do not kill or injure something that belongs to another unless you are prepared to face the consequense of your actions.

Do you believe the US should face the consequences of their actions in Iraq?

Yes and our Soldiers all know that.

That is why we have a PROFESSIONAL military drawn from volunteers and schooled in the laws of warfare and the geneva conventions.

That is also why our Soldiers do not make policy but rather they implement it to the fullest extent.

That is the reason why it is possible to support the troops while not supporting the policy that put them there.

Shrock:
Please keep your dogs at home.
(or, if you prefer the aggressive approach - Keep you freakin' dogs off my property or I'll shoot their sorry asses)

Castle:
I'll let my dogs run loose if I want to.

Shrock:
Ok, buddy...BAM!

Catle:
WAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAA

I don't see a problem here....

My reality and yours are quite different.

Yes, you did, in message #1: "They should fear for their lives until their entire family is shot dead and burned in the very same incinerator."

It doesn't matter - they were his rabbits on his property. If your dogs trespass on his property because you aren't controlling them properly, and they threaten his rabbits, then he can justifiably shoot them.

If you don't like that, then you need to make sure you control your dogs and keep them on your own property.

If your dog runs out into the road in front of an oncoming car, and gets run over and killed, are you going to murder the driver of the car?

Let's say that you have a neighbor with a pet tiger, and that tiger gets loose, roams the neighborhood, strolls into your yard and threatens your dog. You shoot the tiger to protect your dog. Can that tiger-owning neighbor now justifiably murder you and your entire family in revenge for you shooting his pet tiger? According to your logic, that is the outcome of which you would approve.
