true. In the interest of full disclosure, I am not exactly Rowdy Yates here. I have a whopping two head on a friends ranch in Montague.
Despite my very strong desire to provide Mr. Falafel with my recollection of the facts pertaining to this matter, counsel has advised me that I should avail myself of the protections provided by the Constitution and the Fifth Amendment that so many brave Americans have fought to support and defend. I intend to follow that advise exactly.
Pure WIN! Chris, are you trying to leash train them yet? Limos are easy to leash train and saddle break.
I would be interested know if there is any jurisdiction in the US where livestock has the right of way. I don't do much legal work with livestock, except that one time I helped Nazi-f when he got busted for what he said were "animal husbandry experiments."
Two remarks about this thread: - Once again, Mike's principles shift depending on what he's arguing on a even day. Personal responsibility of the cattle owner? Doesn't matter this time. - Nazif's cows get massages and beer. Why the fuck would they ever try to escape?
Where Interstate on/off ramps connect to open range land, there is a cattle guard on the ramp. I've run into these out west in Utah, Nevada, etc.
There are quite a few ramps on I-15 through southern Utah with cattle guards. I would guess more of them do then don't, but I don't know for certain.
The responsibility has to be actual, not just alleged, and I enumerated what I saw as possible problems. Show me the proof of his personal responsibility. Show me where I said the responsibility of the cattle owner didn't matter. And maybe a huge arm stuck up your ass negates beer and massages.
That was mighty generous of you. It looks like the laws dealing with open range and livestock presents an extremely convoluted situation. Texas is an open range state unless............ http://equinelaw.alisonrowe.com/tags/open-range/
The Texas Agriculture Code states "[a] person who owns or has responsibility for the control of a horse, mule, donkey, cow, bull, steer, hog, sheep, or goat may not knowingly permit the animal to traverse or roam at large, unattended, on the right-of-way of a highway." Tex. Agric. Code § 143.102 (Vernon 2004)(emphasis added). The statute defines a "highway" as "a U.S. highway or a state highway in this state, but does not include a numbered farm-to-market road." Id. at § 143.101. Therefore, U.S. and state highways in Texas are effectively considered closed ranged. Conversely, the 40,000-plus miles of farm-to-market roads in Texas are unaffected by this statute. That would mean that fm1093 aka westheimer (one of the busiest roads in texas and where the galleria sits) is an open range road. my ranches sit in brazora, burnet, and ft bend counties...they are all closed range counties with stock laws.
What is the difference in a bull running and a bull charging? http://www.running-of-the-bulls.com/pamplona/the-bull-run
