Cat poop or wild animal droppings? Warning; pile picture!

Magpies are probably hurt when they catch one. Have you ever seen a cat get too close to a hedge with nesting tits? A healthy magpie has to pluck cats. Bird remains are very rarely found in the garden or on the terrace. My cats even clear their sleeping spot under the grapevines for tits and co. Cats have not been able to prevent nesting there for 20 years.

Hello Knallkörper

you have to invoke the justified emergency (brought into play by you). Although I do injure the cat with a slingshot, which is prohibited, §34 StGB should apply to defend against an injury to my legal interest (cat poop in the garden) and the punishability should no longer be given.

And exactly there you are very likely wrong. a) There is no danger in the proper sense to your property. There will probably be enough lawyers and judges who wouldn’t even call it damage. A pile of poop on the lawn is as little damage as dirt on a car. Then b): As long as the danger is present, it can be averted by other means, such as a water hose, loud calling, or scaring away. A subsequent or precautionary measure is not covered by §34. In particular, it would not be an act within the framework of the justified emergency if you lie in wait with the slingshot, because then you do NOT carry out your act, which would be suitable to protect your legal interests, "in a present danger." Finally, c) your interest must significantly outweigh (pollution versus the suffering of the animal) and your action (shooting) must be appropriate, both of which are unlikely to apply because of a).

In principle, §833 of the Building Code applies here.

The holder would now have the obligation to remedy this damage.
If he does not comply, I consider corresponding measures appropriate, increasing in severity until it leads to success.

That is vigilante justice, so you don’t need to refer to paragraphs. "Corresponding measures" are ordered by courts after you have reported the holder, if it comes to that.

He might also enjoy running his motorcycle at full throttle for 10 minutes every night at two a.m., and there would be no discussion for anyone.

Then you would call the police, and not set the moped on fire.

Help, the amateur lawyers are on the loose *head shaking*

You would also call the police, and not set the moped on fire.

You think so ^^

It is simply not vigilantism, since there is no alternative coming from state authority. So either I live with it or I take matters into my own hands; some things just cannot be enforced through legal channels. Theory and practice are miles apart anyway with such stories. As I said, ambushing once with the squirt gun should help, you don't have to go straight for the spade.

Links are (stupidly) forbidden here. Just Google 'Besteuert die Katzen'. Then you will find an interesting article on the topic of losses in the animal world caused by the cute house tigers. A study cited there estimates several billion small animals killed per year. In my opinion, cats should actually be taxed, simply to reduce the number.

Some people simply have to deal with certain aspects of jurisprudence as part of their work. Is an architect an amateur lawyer because he knows the state building code? Can we call you an amateur lawyer because you know how to interpret the road traffic regulations?

One could of course also take a DNA sample and thus narrow down the owner of the remains.
