Ironically, if it were his dogs I would have firmer legal footing. Open range laws were put on the books so the ranchers with grazing permits on Federal land were protected from liability as their cattle came and went from summer to winter pasture. It was done to keep it financially feasible to raise beef. End open range laws and the no one will be able to afford hamburger in this country. This guy uses them to justify not keeping his fences in adequate repair to hold his animals. He has the law on his side for now... but dumbass pissed me off. Next year things will go down differently, and the law will be on MY side.
