I think some are missing the point in much of the discussions. It is not the act of wild animals or birds that is the issue. No one can control their actions unless perhaps a fence is put up as a barrier. We used to live on a lake and the only way to stop geese, or ducks from pooping on the lawn was to put up a string along the edge and constant vigilance. Another reason here why directly living on a pond or prairie has a disadvantage. Lol
The point here is people control their dogs by the leash and their actions, whether they claim it being an accident or purposely that the dog/ owner is on the property. Who controls who than? That is why many say it is rude, and self-centered, let alone ill-mannered and the owners feel entitled to use what they want, where and when they want. Whether it be a golf ball, dog, walking for short cuts, looking in private homes, stickers on mailboxes, and so on...
