I have heard of men and women hiring hitmen to knock off their spouses or ex-spouses. This is the first time I have read of someone targeting an animal. I think someone might need a little bit of help.

George is relaxing, before needing Jack Bauer's help.

A Golden Retriever named George is the target of an assassination plot. The reason for eliminating the dog is that he makes too much noise at night. He didn’t leave a deuce in someone’s yard…

George’s owners received a letter in the mail that gave an ultimatum or the dog would be silenced for ever. The owners notified the Sea Port Police and they are investigating the threat. The letter they received states, “Please make sure that you stop your dog barking at night between the hours of 8pm and 8am. You have 30 days in which to retrain your dog or come up with a solution. When we check up 30 days from today’s date, and your dog is still barking, there is a very high chance your dog will no longer be around to disturb the neighbors.”

The threat just happens to come around at the same time as the City of Cape Town is working on a last draft of an animal control law. The new law is going to order owners to get rid of any dog that cause a disturbance to it’s neighbors by, “barking for more than six minutes in any hour or more than three minutes in any half hour.”
