Kay,
You have said, yet, what kind of traps this nut case is setting. Are you sure thary are a "legal type"? (Such as the Have-a-Heart, live catch traps.) What kind of a "huinter" uses live catch traps anyway? He (the SIL) sounds as nuts as the old man! Since he has chained the trap to a post, sounds to me like he knows he's doing something he shouldn't be doing. Have you spoken to any of the Animals Rights groups about this nut? How about one of the animal rescue organizations, like, say Alley Cats Allies or a local chapter of that organization. Animals do have rights here in the states, but we also have a severe animal over population problem because some people let in tact animals run free, or, worse yet, treat them like a disposable commodity. They sinply turn the animal out when they grow tired of them. Pet abandonment is a crime in most states. Enforcing the laws is the hard part. Last fall we had a young man take his anger out on some horse owned by his neighbor, slashing many and actually killing one. Right before his trial came up, his Lawyer plea bargined him down to a lesser charge thus keeping him from going to a jury trial. A jury would have wanted to hang him, literally! I know I wanted to! I am wondering if there is anything you can do to the neighbor, legally, to make his life as rough as he has made yours. Can one take their neighbor to courst fro harassment and causing undo emotional stress? Got any lawyer friends who can advise you on the possibilities of a civil case against this jerk? That is now what the owner of the horse has to do to get any justice and/or compensation for wrongful death of their horse. Rebecca |
