Like if they even start to bark or get on some furniture or whatever, she blasts one of those loud-a$$ed canned air horns at them. First, it's annoying as hell if you're over there and don't know that the pet just did something and all of a suddent you hear some loud blast. But second, don't you think this is mean? Because then every dang animal in the house ducks down all terrified like they think they're the one who did something bad. She has 2 dogs and 3 cats. I feel like reporting her, but is this really cruel?

I think it's pretty cruel. But, the other people who are over there and don't know she's about to blast it - that parts funny. I think you should take an airhorn over there with you, and then just blast it real loud behind her fat head without warning her. Hopefully it will scare the hell out of HER and she'll know how the poor animals feel. Who the hell has 5 animals inside anyway? I'd call aspca and ask them what to do. Has she seen the movie Cujo? Take it over there and tell her if she doesn't stop, then her animals will turn on her like that.
seems pretty cruel to me.
thats messed up. tell your neighbor that she isnt responsible to have a pet. thats what pets do, if she doesnt like it, take them to an adoption center so they can get adopted by somebody who actually cares.
poor puppies and kitties :(
Yes, this is really cruel and you should speak to her and tell her it is animal abuse - and bothers the neighbors.
That's an incredibly stupid thing to do, how did she ever convince herself this is discipline?
Her animals must be terrified and probably getting deaf as well.
If she doesn't stop after you speak with her, call code enforcement or Animal Services - she needs to stop this lunacy.
It is not only mean, it is cruel. Squirting water from a squirt bottle or squirt gun is every bit effective and harmless. If she continues to use the horn report her to yourlocal SPCA.
NO! its not cruel in any way shape or form! its probably one of the best ways of training an animal! when an animal does something wrong the noise will scare them from doing it. after a while the animal learns not to do the bad behavior because they hate the noise. its a totally effective way of training (my self i hate the noise so i used a squirt gun). it doesnt last more than a few months until the bad behavior is gone. your neighbor should be commended, not scolded. the people who HIT their animals are the ones that are doing cruelty to animals
I don't think you should personally talk to your neighbor about it unless you are really good friends with her and know how she'll react. Otherwise, do it in a non-accusatory way. You know, something like "Don't you think that airhorn is a bit overkill?" If you don't know her that well, I would call your local SPCA or Humane Society and ask them their opinion on it, and let them know you're concerned for your neighbor's pets.
I do think this could be considered cruel. Not to the worst extent, but come on.dog's hearing is MUCH better than human's, and those airhorn things are loud enough to make your ears ring if you're close enough to it, imagine how horrible that must be for the dog. What ever happened to a quick flick on the nose with a rolled up newspaper?? Sheesh.
I'd suggest to her that a watergun is just as effective, won't scare the innocent pets, (Is quite frankly more fun), and won't get her reported to the neighborhood home owner's association.
First have a word with her to try to make her see sense. Airhorns are VERY loud (as you know) - very likely she is going to damage her pet's hearing, if not her own! Secondly, it is plain cruelty to try to 'train' her animals this way. The woman doesn't know what she's doing.
I'd try to make her see sense, you know, at least give her a chance - and if she didn't, then I'd report her. At the very least, you could get her for noise pollution if not animal cruelty! And I wouldn't tell her I was reporting her either, it would seem like a threat - if she won't come to ther senses (if indeed she has any) then just do it. I would.

it's not only cruel to animals, but it is also cruel to the humans that live close by! call the police and file a complaint every time she does it! they'll make her quit.鈽?
