[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1298735, member: 18945"] The difference is obvious. In my county and in most of the counties in my state, it is illegal to knowingly allow any livestock to run loose. You simply cannot do it. The key word in the statutes that govern loose livestock is "knowingly". If you knowingly allow stock to roam, you ain't got a leg to stand on if your stock gets hauled off by the sheriff, hit and killed by an 18 wheeler or someone else, except that anyone other than the sheriff can be charged with theft if caught. Dogs? Not so clearly spelled out by the law right now, but since you brought up the livestock/canine analogy, you, by not having and keeping them in check, are knowingly [b]allowing[/b] them free run. Bottom line tho, if my stock or dogs are on someone else's property, in my mind, it's probably my fault and the landowner has every ethical right to do what he sees fit, as do I. (note I said 'ethical" right--not legal right) My dog goes to a neighbors and barks and keeps them up and they shoot it, well, hopefully they will tell me so I can pick him up and bury him, but I won't get mad about it--I shoulda kept ol Indy at home. If I don't want anything to happen to my livestock or my dog, I dang well better keep them under control, and on my property unless I have someone else's permission to run them on their property.
