A couple in Oregon have been awarded $240,000 compensation for more than a decade of disquiet.Dale and Debra Krein of Rogue River filed a suit in 2012 against their neighbors and their giant Tibetan mastiffs.Finally, after three years of proceedings, a jury has ruled in favor of the disgruntled Oregonians, ordering for the canines to be debarked within 60 days. The Kreins claimed their lives have been plagued by the noise since the defendants, John Updegraff and Karen Szewc, started breeding dogs in 2002. According to the Mail Tribune, the canines would routinely bark until 5am and throughout the day outside the property just 300 feet from the Kreins. This continued, they told the court, despite the fact that Updegraff and Szewc were cited by Jackson County Animal Control in 2002 and 2004 for violating public nuisance codes. The defendants attempted to argue that the mastiffs were needed to protect their livestock. However, on Thursday a judge at Jackson County Circuit Court ruled the animals were not suited to the role.

I am not too sure what to think of this.. I think civil disputes are out of control now-a-days.. i mean i know the dogs were barking at all hours of the night and the owners should have been more displicned with their pets but a quarter of a million dollar settlement awarded? I wonder if it is so they can move, but in that case what about the next neighbors that arrive.

I actually don't blame them for suing. If my neighbors dog barked until 5am often I'd be unbelievably pissed. Can't even imagine 10 years.

I am going to sue the train company for having a railroad right next to my house. It's all their fault!
