Talk about a 'Bullshit' law!
Just got this hysterical email from my sister and thought I would share.

Crazy. My aunt hit a cow and totaled her corvette.
My stepmother ran into a bull near Wilsonville several years ago. She suffered massive head injuries, was in a coma for weeks, and never fully recovered. The owner of that bull was likewise not liable.
The idea that someone can own a huge animal capable of destroying a car and not be held responsible for keeping it off the public roads seems ludicrous to me, but clearly I'm making the mistake of thinking logically, unlike our lawmakers.
It is a nutty law!. If my big German Shepherd gets loose and eats someone I am responsible for that...why aren't owners of large animals also responsible?
If I had to guess I'd say the cattlemen associations probably make large campaign contributions to our elected officials to keep that law the way it is. Perhaps we need to look for a brave legislator who would seek to change it?
That's not safe. Animals cause a lot of accidents, and when laws can prevent accidents, they should be passed.
Loretta, your sister has my sympathy and I hope things work out in her favor.
There’s probably a law, or it’s just accepted, that the state owns all of the wildlife that inhabits its territory. I guess that’s why legal hunters have to purchase a hunting license from the state. If that’s the case, a law to change the free range law would have to exempt wildlife to keep the state from being responsible for all of the damage caused and even lives lost by deer on the roadways. Some people even have accidents trying to avoid smaller animals like squirrels, rabbits, possums, raccoons, etc.
If anyone wants to learn what a really nasty accident is like they just need to run into a vulture or a buzzard and have it crash through their windshield.
