I see that I was being much more subtle than I'd though I was. (I don't think that this particular culprit is subject to our laws.)
Though the advice to check for statutory solutions is something that I should check into regarding the human-owned / electronic alarms that are also in that general direction. (The owner of the one that I posted sheet music for a few months ago has dialed way back on the volume -- to the point that I'm not sure it can be effective at this point, but hasn't fixed the sensitivity problem.)
I got it. Of course, I live next door to one, which I was all worried about when it moved in, but it turned out to be exquisitely well tuned and doesn't do pre-emptive alarms. It now recognizes my tread in the hallway and ignores me.
*nod* And you tossed back the same kind of subtlety. I confess, I'm still trying to figure out the universal remote you first mentioned -- my best guess so far is the sunrise (though some start up before I see false dawn). Am I close?
This one seems to be living in the tree in my back yard that started out as a large weed with a woody stem that I lacked the energy to deal with. (I do sometimes go long stretches without observing my back yard at ground level, so it's possible the tree is a separate organism that choked out the weed, but that weed was already approacking small tree size when it still looked like a weed.)
The other day, there was another clinging to the grape vine that's trying to eat my house, somewhere above my kitchen or dining room and below the office.
Other than a) unusual circumstances, and b) one family of arthropoda, the other classes tend not to be subjected to state action, AFAIK ... though any that aren't state-protected are subject to vigilante ... well, private anyhow ... actions with the same two outcomes. Most of the other species I can think of that are the subjects of laws or government budget-items are members of our class.
Er ... on second thought, there may be case law regarding roosters, which are the same class as my back yard beastie, though other examples in aves aren't coming to mind right now.

Nope.

Sure they are. It's just that the punishments prescribed for those lesser classes tend to be limited to either death or banishment. :)

Seeing how far we can stretch the law analogy
