Azur, You made laugh till I nearly fell off my chair.
I can't believe I never thought of that myself;-)

It seems almost farcical
So that woman's job is to rat on everyone

Maj, The woman certainly has an intensity about her;-)
of course she must feel that the whole neighborhood would go to hell in a handbasket were it not for her diligence.

Tanga, That's an idea worth trying...
The image of you knocking that rat around the room is pretty good! You should video tape it and send it to Funniest Home Videos, the TV cable show. It will send all the animal rights folks down to your door with pitchforks...

Throw handfuls of cornmeal into her yard and see what she does with rats.
You'll find out if she belongs to the NRA!
Half-seriously, the animal control people would get sick of her.
But seriously, while I would have done what RG did (without the photos) what if your dog had been bitten? 
If it wasn't against the law, she's harassing you. This is the reason I dropped out of our local Neighborhood Watch after about a month, too many Nazis.

Dear Cynthia
Please send both the neighbour and the officer over here. I am sure they will be impressed how I can hit a rat all across the lounge with my nine iron. Some people have lost touch with reality. What a load of BS! How can you punish a dog for its instinct. What next; barring lions in Africa from hunting gazelle because they are too aggressive and the gazelle's rights are being abused.
