It depends on Texas legislature, but at least in the Northeast it's very much ILLEGAL. In fact, you get prosecuted for animal cruelty. I would suggest calling the police and reporting this guy.\n\nThen i would suggest calling your local news station and see if they can let everyone in your neighborhood know what a ....-hole he is. No better payback than having all your neighbors hating you.\n\nI'm sorry this happened, i hope you get him!!!

Find out what the animal abuse laws are in the state where it happened and file a criminal complaint against the person.  File a petition at www.thepetitionsite.com with all the facts and have people sign it to give to the court or judge who tries the case.  Contact your local animal welfare group to help you with all of this.  Contact www.hsus.org or www.peta.org to see what they would recommend.

You should probably start by discussing the issue with your neighbor. If that doesn't work, you can find the particulars for your community on www.findlaw.com.

since the issue falls under liability, it's your mom's call not the farmer, though he may rent the acrerage for agricultural, what you are talkng about is liability in terms of gettig hurt ( see Dick Cheney )

At your county court house will be a department that maintains zoning restrictions.  If you go there and provide the address of the property in which you are interested, they will be able to tell you which zoning applies.  This will likely define some restrictions concerning animals.  Then you can also access the animal codes of the county which may further define what you can do.  If you live within the boundaries of a city, its animal codes should also be accessed.  In some cases State codes may apply.  All of this should be public record, although you may have to pay a copy fee.  \n\nIf you have an animal control function in your area, they should be able to tell you.\n\nIf you are still not sure, contact your elected county and city representatives and ask them for help.

I am not sure how N.C. law works exactly...but I can tell you how this would be resolved in Pa.  They probably aren;t that different regardless.  In Pa. a land lord is required to give 24 hours notice unless there is an emergency situation.  I do not see how a pet constitutes an emergency.  I'd also check your contract/lease, although I am sure that this is probably not listed.  As for the pet....your land lord has NO RIGHT to remove a pet of yours from the building.  None.  That is completely outrageous.  He can evict you for violating the lease.  He can ask you to remove the pet.  But he has absolutely no right at all to remove a pet from an apartment.  I'd sue.

If you purchased the property knowing that the survey showed the fence being over the line onto the property that you were purchasing, then you will not be able claim that you were unaware of the situation. Surveys are done for that very reason, to show where problems exist. You should have required the previous owner to deal with the issue and get it resolved before you closed the deal, but you let him off the hook. \n\nNow, its your problem, and if your neighbor will not cooperate and remove the fence, you may have to file a lawsuit, or risk losing the strip of land. If you damage the fence yourself, your neighbor may file suit against you, and you may be required to repair or replace it at your expense, if your neighbor has established rights based on the fence.

Of course you can- this happens all the time.  You can go directly to the owner, if you know who it is, or you can get a special map from your county courthouse that will show you who the land owners are.  Track them down from there.

If your on your property then you have no responsibilty for compensation.  She could bring a case against the seller, but not against you unless you assisted in a scheme to defraud her, (ie assisted in making the 1st survey false) absent that there's nothing that can be done since you legally own the land, and a person can't claim a "loss" of something they never owned.

Different states have different laws. I doubt you would get a judge to hear a case on it. You'd be better off asking the new owner to return the dog & pay the amount of what a pup would have sold for.

I have come across this issue before with parrot shelters, and private zoos.  If the humane society is called in and doesn't see anything sufficiently horrible to warrant action then you need to document the offenses yourself (photographic evidence, video, witnesses...).  Once you have created  a 'case' in the form of a file THEN the humane society may be more apt to listen.  What is acceptable in one US state or Canadian province may not be acceptable in another.  Standards of care can and do vary WIDELY.

What's not to get?  You pit two helpless animals in a fight to the death.  A bunch of guys down the street from me got arrested for doing the samething with dogs.  May they rot in a very warm afterlife.

you need to sue the management company.  find a lawyer who deals with that sort of litigation.  your dues are to be used to maintain the grounds and other amenities.  Obviously that is not happening and on top of that it looks like they are not getting dues at this point in order to fix the grounds.\n\nlegal action.  get the community to file together.

The question is one of negligence.  You owe a duty of reasonable care.  So, you have to examine whether it was reasonable of you not to protect the person from your dog.  In your favor would be the fact that you kept the dog on your own property and that the dog had never shown vicious tendencies before.  Working against you might be that you let your dog run loose knowing people often crossed your property and that you knew the dog had bitten other people before.\n\nI don't know the facts of your case and I don't know what the weight of the evidence will show.  But if you acted reasonably, you shouldn't have any fear for your dog.\n\nWARNING:  You now KNOW that your dog will bite people.  So you now have a greater duty to keep people safe from your dog than you did before.

It requires somewhat more than just taking care of the property. What you are referring to is called adverse possession, which by Texas law, must be "an actual and visible appropriation of real property, commenced and continued under a claim of right that is inconsistent with and is hostile to the claim of another person." Further, the true owner of the land has a period of time from the commencement of that possession to file a claim, though the time period depends on the circumstances. I would contact a lawyer and see what your options are. If you built a fence around the land and kept it for long enough, it would be yours.
