Ethics of Poisoning My Neighbor's Dog

I fully understand that you are going through a headache. But like I said, why not try and play the childish games since they don't seem to care at this point. You're already being awoken up at 4 am. Set some big ass speakers outside and blare some heavy metal right in their fucking face. Go honk your car horn. Maybe that will get the message across.
My neighbour turned up the music ONCE on Sunday at 9 am to the point it was shaking my whole room. I told him if it ever happens again I'm going to start blasting my shit at 4 am (day job so he needs his sleep). It's been quiet ever since. You need to put your foot down but don't be stupid about it. e.g. killing the damn dog
You'll end up in more trouble than it's worth anyhow. I would try and become a nuisance myself before taking more drastic measures. Some people just don't fucking get it and you need to step down to their level, unfortunately.

Read the rest of the thread. It's a full grown, aggressive pitbull. I don't want to injure myself or my friends, as well as trying to kidnap this dog would probably be very noisy and conspicuous.
I had almost the exact same problem last summer and we just had a new baby. Funny enough, my neighbors were tied to polygamy... so getting through to them was, let's say tough...
I decided every time i heard the dogs bark i would call the cops. I even called animal controll and they came out and talked to the people twice. I just decided i would have the cops harass the hell out of them. They ended up moving! But when i dealt with the cops, they would come out every time. They would take hours sometimes to get there, but would always come. Said that if they get the call, they have to come out.
I put the police and animal control on speed dial and just kept calling them. I also wrote emails to many in the police organization.
I did consider cutting a hole in the fence and then calling animal control about loose dogs. I also dreamed about killing those dogs, because i felt like there is no other solution, just like you.

If you can't actually take the dog, would you be able to un-do or break it's chain and simply open the gate? If you know they're not home you don't have to worry much about the noise. Dog will probably end up back at the house but maybe not.
You should get up every morning at 3:30am and start playing some trash metal - loudly. And when they complain just say you are countering the noise.
You could try phoning them at 4AM every morning and let them know their dog is barking loudly. Of course that will escalate the bad blood. Or you may start off and talk with an attorney to understand what are your options to force the city to enforce the law.
#1 if you're posting threads asking for advice on ethical behavior it kind of shows that you aren't a complete psychopath and probably not going to follow thru on your devious little plan. if you really were that person the dirty deed would have been done by now.
so... assuming you're not that kind of a douche.... buy some earplugs and a fan. this world is full of assholes that won't control their kids/dogs/wives, etc. it's not the dog's fault for barking... he's just chilling. the revenge you should be seeking is on your punk ass neighbor and take it out on him. make his life miserable and maybe he'll move on down the road and take fido with him.
but, if you really really want to kill the dog quit being a pussy. poison isn't right. you can't look yourself in the mirror doing a sneaky thing like that! that's like the ultimate sucker-punch and the mere fact that you're hesitating shows you have some decency.
what you need to do is throw that dog a nice juicy t-bone for a few nights. after a few trips his tail will be waggin' when he sees you coming! it's all about building trust here.... Hell, I'd throw him a big ham-bone so that asshole neighbor will KNOW someone's been feeding his dog!!!
after you build up some trust you can do whatever you want with that dog. you can let him loose.... steal him and take him somewhere.... or kill him. personally i'd choose a sawed off 410 for the job because they're cheap but effective.
but not poison man... c'mon.

Use an anti-barking device like a couple other people said. Hook it up on your property, on the other side of the fence from where the dog barks at 4am.
Do these people own or rent? Blow up the landlord's phone line if they rent.
If those don't work, call the ASPCA and your lawyer for advice.

Jezus most people here aren't reading the OP's posts...
OK, assuming calling the cops simply can't get any 5.0 to your neighbor's house, you have exactly (not more, not less) two options that won't land you in Prison getting assraped by giant, black, crack smokers:
1. Fight nuisance with nuisance. Others here have suggested blaring loud music, but I'd find something more evil... Something that will STOP the dog from barking and hurt everybody's ears:
Static Feedback from a guitar amp.
Grab a shitty old Amp from your local pawn shop ($15 ougtta do it) and aim it at the dog as close as you can to him on your own property. Whenever the dog barks, Crank it to max, plug a cheap mic in in with the head nearby the speaker and the dog WILL shut the fuck up, Period. Repeat as needed until the dog as been removed from the premises by the owner. I'd say about 3 times, cause that shit will have other neighbors knocking on his door.
Cons: You have to man up and tell your neighbor it's his own fault, and to go fuck himself for not taking care of this BEFORE you lost your sanity. Remind him that you've tried other ways to shut the dog up and this is the only thing that worked... & Perhaps a bigger amp will work more.
2. Tranquilize that bitch. Make damn sure there are no cameras pointed at the dog and the owner is away, then give that dog a chunk of meat filled with whatever tranquilizer you can get your hands on that isn't too strong for a grown human.
Once fido's down for the count, sabotage the fence or chain or whatever to make it look like he escaped, and throw him in the back of a pickup truck, to be taken as far away as you can. Sneak the fucker on a freight train if you can! No point killing it when you can give it a better home...
Cons: If the shelter is within 200 miles you risk them finding it. For that matter if the dog has been RFID chipped you're effort is wasted, but at least you aren't going to be tossing some cellmate's salad soon.
