Based on this post and (especially) your response to ultranaut, there probably isn’t anything you could say that would make them give a shit. In fact, it sounds like approaching them at all could start a fight if you aren’t diplomatic.
Does your town/county have laws about keeping pets on a leash or within a fence? Make it animal control’s problem. Call them whenever it happens. The fact that these people have established themselves as troublemakers might end up working in your favor.
Depending on how strict/responsive animal control is, fencing in your yard might turn out to be the only effective solution. No, it isn’t fair that you should have to shoulder the costs, but that might be your only choice.
I plan on contacting my local dog warden. We have very strict regulations on dogs, and the landlord of that house might not even allow pits. I know a lot of home insurances around me don't cover people who own pits.
Good. I wish you luck!
