user13360: Hi may I know what is the karma of killing a dog please? 
My neighbours dog starts barking from 5am daily and I don't get enough sleep. I am so tired at work and cannot focus. I've tried soundproofing my walls and using ear plugs  but they don't work I can still hear the barking.
I've spoken to the neighbour but he tells me that he is a human and he can't ask ask his dog to keep quiet (whatever that means).
I am at my wits end, I am so tired, I never get enough rest. Can I kill the dog? May I know what is the karma for killing a dog?

user8157: The karmic result for killing a dog is: 

Possible retaliation by your neighbor. 
Possible legal action by neighbor and government. 
Possible regret & guilty conscience in your heart. 
Getting scored negative on Buddhism Stack Exchange. 
Not woken up at 5 am; getting an improved night's sleep; more focus & energy at work. 
Woken up at 4 am by a new different dog.
