Air rifles are good at sorting alarms out

I am sorry I dont have any advice for you but this type of thing makes my blood boil so I sympathise with your sister.
Having to put up with inconsiderate actions while trying to care for animals affected must be extremely stressful and frustrating with no easy route for resolution.
I am surprised the SSPCA can't intervene more as its the animal's welfare they should be interested in.

I am sure there is some law which states that you are entitled to 'go about your own peaceful and merry way without undue interference from others', or something similar, which this should fall under.

We had similar issues with a neighbour and only found this out when things boiled over and the police became involved. Previously they had not wanted to know when we reported that we were having issues, so you may need to push it with them to get a response.

Neighbour issues have become more far prevalent. so most forces now have someone who is specifically trained to deal with that sort of thing. I am talking about England in my case, so am not sure if the laws are the same in Scotland.
