Alcalde? BB gun?
There is, I believe, in every, or at least most, DR towns what Americans would term an 'animal control officer' - termed an Alcalde. This is usually an unpaid, volunteer position. His job is to decide whether specific animals, including roosters, are permitted in a particular neighborhood. After his decision, the losing party may appeal to a fiscal, & enter the judicial system.
* Dogs & cats? Not regulated. Permitted everywhere.
* If humanly possible, the complainant should be a Dominican.
* Are palms greased to affect the outcome? I don't have sufficient experience. The probability? Yes.
* A BB gun?? I tried to purchase 1 recently; I had a Daisy BB rifle when I was 12 years old.
* The results of my limited search? Not sold in the DR! Why? As usual, no reason.
* Pellet guns, very similar to BB guns, are available - rifle or pistol. Cost? 14,000 Pesos! Highway robbery! The pellet guns can only be purchased a regular armarias. Gov't license required?? Probably 'yes', but unclear.
* $400. for a pellet gun. The price @ Wal-Marts? Que viva la Republica!!
