you can buy snail / slug pellets or mice bait - both of which can be fatal to pets - off the shelf in any local hardware or gardening shop or any food supermarket here
yeah guess they would enjoy it, just trying to think of things that don't avoid confrontation, i'm a bit of a wimp and can only face up to people like this if the red mist has genuinely descended. (Had a bloke who I know hit me with his wing mirror as he sped past when we were moving stock, we were as surprised as each other by my reaction lol).

Laying poison baits in the open is illegal here. If fact, anything that works is probably illegal!
he’s a vegetable grower
Surely he can place snail baits ?
What about all the slug pellets that UK farmers spread on arable fields ?

You can here but there easily counteracted takes a fair moron not to notice a dog bleeding internally so I’d imagine it wouldn’t be that effective might leave the man with a decent size vet bill

Never mind the phone, put it in writing with a copy to the chief constable, and make sure you get an incident number as the police will claim the offender "has done nothing illegal". (Yes, I've had that too). State that the offender caused you "alarm and upset".
If you used any kind of poison and the dog became ill, or even if it died, it would probably be taken to a small animal vet to find out why. The vet nowadays is likely to be a pasty-faced young vegan woman who hates farmers, if the problem was traced back to you then all the fires of hell, official and unofficial, would be rained upon your head.
You can’t buy rat poison without a, paid for, certificate. The excuse for making people taking a test and paying for a expensive piece of paper was that too much poison might of being used indiscriminately, killing cuddly wildlife and beloved pets. Any suspicion that someone had used poison of any kind where anybody’s precious dog could pick it up would probably lead to more rules and regulation.

To be fair, most dogs which are poisoned will belong to the farmer

Thought I was pushing my luck with suggesting an old engine oil laced digging hole. I'm not sure doing much, if anything, to the dogs is particularly fair.

Another thread on here wanting to improve farming PR just been rather scuppered by these throwaway comments - well done!
Perhaps remember the public are your customer directly, and indirectly. Some of them don't have a sense of humour..

The dogs haven’t done anything wrong ffs . Id call the police say you felt threatened by him then as others have said get any voice video evidence of him threatening you. Possibly say he threatened to do things to you and your family.
