Pet Hiring Animal Hitman Noisy Neighbor Call Police

Hiring a hitman is an "extreme measure" (something that is too strong) for dealing with a neighbor's noisy "pet" (an animal that lives with people for fun and enjoyment, not for meat, milk, or clothing). Fortunately, Americans have many other options that don't involve hiring a hitman.

First, you can talk to your neighbor. Tell him or her that the noisy pet is an "unwelcome" (not wanted) "distraction" (something that takes one's attention away from other, more important things). Hopefully the neighbor will do something about it.

If the neighbor doesn't do anything and the pet continues to be too noisy, you can call the police and "report" (officially tell the authorities about something) the "noise violation" (something that is so loud that it "disrupts" (makes unpleasant) the residential neighborhood). If the police agree that the pet is a noise violation, they may "fine" the neighbor, making him or her pay money and fix the problem.

Another option is to call "animal control," which is the local government agency that deals with animals in the city. When someone "files a complaint" (officially says that there is a problem), animal control will "investigate" (learn more about) the situation and may take the pet away from the owner. The pet might be taken to the "pound" (a large building where there are many animals that do not have owners). If the animal is "adopted" (taken into a family) by another person, it will go to their home. If the animal is not adopted, it might be "put down" (killed) to make room for more animals.
