That's a shame for someone to lose their family pet this way.  Having
no personal stake in the debate, I'll leave it alone.  What it shows
is that you can't trust a kid to respect a gate, no matter which side
of it they belong on.

Some years ago I was compelled to padlock the gate to my back yard
after my neighbour's kids repeatedly left it opened when retrieving
balls they'd lost over the fence.  I had no objection to their entry
provided they closed the gate when they left, but they wouldn't.  My
wife's cat was of a breed that couldn't jump fences, and we were safe
in the knowledge that she wouldn't wander.... unless a careless child
let her out :-(

The lesson is that no matter how careful you are, nobody else gives a
damn and one of them will undo your precautions.  Cover every base,
and then some.

regards, Anthony
