Are livestock and pets constantly roaming a problem county-wide?

By Brad Byington

It becomes frustrating when some people move to our area in the countryside and release their animals to free range. A few of the animals after a short time have become feral. We have animals, and it's a never-ending task to make sure they stay on our property. It's still possible for the critters to escape, which is all hands on deck to remedy the situation. We respect our neighbors and make an effort to be a good neighbor. When neighbors animals are out we contact them and have helped return them to their area the first time. Same animals out again we contact the owners.

Our concern first is older folks that live in our neighborhood with these animals darting out into roadway. Also school busses and general traffic passing thru. I have made phone calls looking for assistance in dealing with this problem. Each and every call ended with me being told it's someone elses issue.

My point to this is Im asking if any other areas are experiencing similar issues and is there any interest or ideas about pursuing it further. Thank you, --Brad Byington
