I judge people by how they treat their dogs/cats etc and how their view other animals (wild and domestic). It's a great indicator.
At the bottom of the road to our property there's a sign, put up by the county. If your dog just chases cattle or chickens (livestock), ANYONE can shoot it. How's that?
No. They absolutely do not.

X2 soo True!!I judge people by how they treat their dogs/cats etc and how their view other animals (wild and domestic). It's a great indicator.
There is no such "Right" present in Colorado! (to kill someone's cow(s)/"livestock" that comes on your land).
In the 13 states where "open range" rules the land, and specifically in Colorado, you only have the right to take the animal(s) into custody....and by law, if you do, you must treat them/feed them/care for them as you would your own livestock. Beyond that, you have all of 5 days to contact the Ag authorities should you not be able to locate the owner and then they will decide the course of action. Sure...you COULD shoot the animals...but once they enter your land, you are legally responsible and killing them simply means you WILL pay "X" amount per head to the owner for that self-given "Right". :rolleyes: Not only that, you'll be REAL popular in town....
In short, you are legally responsible for the well-being of the animal (food/water/well-being) and >nowhere< in any statute does it say you have the explicit right to KILL a cow on your land. (show me where it says otherwise and I will retract)
You can't even recover damages done by the livestock unless you can prove (in court) without a doubt that YOUR fence was broached. Here in CO...it is YOUR responsibility to fence OUT...not the ranchers responsibility to fence in. the rancher has limits....but they are very broad and forgiving and truly must show malicious intent or out and out neglect.

If there's a law/allowance to kill livestock for trespass, please link the legal statute/etc. you are deriving your (self) stated "right" from and stating >as fact<.
My neighbor shot and killed my 6month old dog:(
yeah..I should have kept my dog on my property (was training him!)
not very neighborly of my neighbor though:meh:
A good neigbor would have called ya to get your dog or brought it back.that's kind of what I was thinking Ken
That's a good question, but basically children are considered property of their parents, legally, for the most part. I would hesitate to suggest we 'need' more government interference in raising our children, though.That Sucks! :mad:
Why the hell not?
WTF? I missed this. I'm very sorry. We installed a radio fence with a shock collar to keep my dog on the property because she'd been so difficult to keep here, she wanted to roam and wander. No fence will keep her in unless it's 8' cinderblock. Just a suggestion if you decide to get another dog, it's very effective. We did have to get the 'stubborn dog' collar, an upgrade from the 'normal dog' collar.My neighbor shot and killed my 6month old dog:(

Had a neighbor once capture one of my dogs with a trap. He accused my dog of jumping his 8' fence, killing one of his his goats then jumping back out of the goat pen to get captured in the baited trap on the outside.
When the sheriffs department got arrived they ordered him to release my dog who had to get helped down from the bed of a mini truck because of his bad hips.
The fence went up soon after.

I bought a collar for him..the kind with a remote..I shocked him one time..and after that he would not move when the collar was on...It was really sad..Totally played dead whenever I made him wear it. So i didn't make him wear it anymore...
The New Puppy will not be leaving my sight when out of her fenced area..ever
She is happy living with the goats though :)
Ya the "zapper" is total crap..unless you have a boxer..lol j/k...but every pup needs some dog whispering..which I think is just mostly patience and saying "shhhshhsh...shhshshs" a bunch of damn times
