It sounds to me like you're outnumbered and fixing to get bushwhacked if you keep fooling with the sand paper. Don't ever show agression toward pets. That is cowardly and incites people to do violent things out of passion. If you had appeared to endanger one of my pets, I'd be inclined to extract you from the vehicle and vigorously encourage your comprehensive understanding of my concerns. Live and let live while being prepared to win at all costs. You've gotten too close and to familiar. Ease back and become a mystery. People can't quantify your ability or demeanor and therefore are less likely to cross you.

Or you could spray the area around the gate with pepper spray or sugar water to draw bugs or plant blackberry bushes and make it not fun standing room.
