... a lawsuit is more responsible and generally considered more acceptable then me killing the dog. Since we know know what will happen, there would be no motivation on my part to file suit. I'm not litigious by nature.

No, I'm a DH, but I completely got the point.
People see that video and they have all different kinds of reactions and emotions.
Yours was "sue!"
I f-ing hate people like that.

Now we know that your second instinct would be killing the dog yourself, if only that was acceptable.

How about acceptable options like talking with the neighbor?
Calling the police and letting authorities sort things out (which is apparently what happened)?
