I'm not sure what state you are in but there should be a website with your state's statutes available for searching, etc.  For example, here in Nevada you can go to http://www.leg.state.nv.us/law1.cfm and click on Nevada Revised Statutes then search for "water shed" to find all the statutes that mention your issue.   You might want to first try this website and pick your state from the list:  http://www.findlaw.com/casecode/

When animals were grazed on common land, sometimes they strayed into the villages, so they would be rounded up and put onto a piece of fenced-in land called a pound until their owners came to find them. \n\nMy Gran lived in a little village in Wiltshire. Her cottage was called Pound Cottage, and it was next door to the village pound.

You can call your local animal control.

As far as I can tell from what I have read, technically it is not illegal anywhere in the US.  California, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Texas, and Virginia have laws that try to prevent the slaughter of horses, but the laws are not well enforced.  There are all kinds of loopholes and a great deal of horse meat from the US is exported.\n\nThese sites may help you with your debate.

I don't know. I like to consider myself culturally sensitive but when the safety and well being of innocent animals is at stake I will always advocate for the animals. A local news report on the conditions would probably do wonders for rectifying the problem.

Animals have loads of rights in the UK, you really don't realise how other countries in Europe don't give a damn about animals. Take France for example, over there it's the hunters go on marchs, do petitions, being militants for more hunting rights!\nSo you see how well off animals are these days in the UK?

There's this wonderful little device that goes for about 10 or 15 bucks.  Its a motion detector that attaches to a garden hose.  Set it in the yard and point it to detect whenever someone goes through your share of the yard.  Her cats will not cross once they've been sprayed once.  If she turns it off, you should set it so it sprays her before she can get to the valve.  As for the gate, get in her face and demand that she show you the same courtesy she demands of you.  Oh, and go get your dog back.  Borrow somebody's video camera and set it in the window to monitor her behavior toward your dog.  If she is shooting him/her or throwing things at him/her, you have grounds to have her charged with animal cruelty.  Wouldn't that be a gas?

My uncle had the same problem with wolves and coyotes and whatnot screwing with his cows, he invest in electric fencing around the area where the cattle were kept. Around the field he set up Wire fencing with lines every 8 1/2 inches or so up to 5 feet tall. He says it works very well and keeps the cattle from trying to knock over the pre-existing fences which were just wooden posts and regular wire fencing. So it's a good investment to protect the cattle, or in your case horses, and it all serves as a good boundary line. Also i have heard of people installing motion sensor lights, to scare away the animals, around different areas of the field perimeter, not very costly as you can just put up a wooden post and run a light from the top. You can use car batteries to power them. Sounds like a good idea, but i don't know of anyone personally that has ever done it, and I'm not sure about the car battery thing. Shouldn't be too hard to find a power source if you really wanted to. in the long run it would be nice anyway. The power line thing may be a little expensive, but as much as horses cost it would be worth it, depending on the size of your pen or field or whatever you keep them in. You could just lock them in a pen at night and do the wires around that. Good luck, hope this helped!!!!

The phrase is adverse possession.  It is, in general simple terms, the principle that if someone exercises rights over a property for a long time, it becomes thiers.  \n\nThe law is different in different states, and complicated.  If you didn't know that the fence line was in the wrong place, it may well not be adverse possession.\n\nI know there are lots of clinics set up to help people with property issues in NYC.  Perhaps you can consult one of those if you don't want to consult a private lawyer.  (I knew someone who found help that way, and found the place through her congressman.)\n\nBut I recommend waiting until she has her survey done before you take irreversible action.

You can try the below link, but I think you will have a better chance of finding information by looking at 'cattle farms'.

Horse owner I was and have been for years. Yes they can. But now there is a new question-is the horse on his own land--no. Is there a safety feature-yes. Is there an insurance problem for the parents-yes. He can own it but his parents have every right to say no to anything that pertains to their land and safety and cost.

In the 1800"s the word became popular from the clan, "Chieftains", who ran protection rackets on farmers in Scottland.  Should a  Farmer  not pay their mail, old term used for rent,  Chieftain would steal their cattle and crops.  Since this was considered evil, it was considered,\n "Blackmail."
