[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 398810, member: 1991"] What about a spud gun? These are toys, still legal here in Australia (I think legal for kids. Definitely legal for adults here with no licensing). These fire either caps (and cap guns here are legal for kids, sold at fairs) or you stick the end of the gun unto a fresh potato and then fire - it fires the potato pellet at a fairly high speed and can sting. We use it on cockatoos and have used it on dogs. I remember a boy at school firing one across the classroom when the teacher wasn't looking. Those spud pellets sting! Mind you, cockatoos are really smart - you point your finger at them and say Bang, and they fly off. A little way, at least, until you go back inside, then the cockies come back and settle once more to eating your house. A thought for the police to be asked to consider - whatever method of managing they have advised you, it needs to be workable. Otherwise they have abandoned you, and the kids, to a potentially dangerous situation where a kid could get mauled or worse. Are the police prepared to accept the consequences for their lack of action? And what was their response when you rang them and said, "The dogs are back."? Marg [/QUOTE]
