Wow yeah, that's incredibly douchebaggy. Some dogs are escape artists! My neighbor's spent forever trying to fence his dog in, and I still semi-regularly run into her down the street. And she's a pit bull so I worry about her dealing with assholes, especially considering how much she loves people. It's not disrespecting your neighbors; it's dealing with an animal that isn't always predictable and sometimes things don't work out perfectly. Offering excuses for poisoning someone else's pet because shit happens is just like. No.
