I’m totally against any form of animal cruelty, but I think a few blasts with a hose might teach the offender to keep away in a pretty humane manner. Also banging on a garbage can lid, or anything that makes a sudden, loud noise. These are just accelerated versions of indoor training methods; no harm done. I tried this with some neighbor cats that were killing baby birds in my yard and haven’t seen them in my yard since. If it irritates the human neighbor, all the better.
