Deer Catch a Buzz in Oregon

There are some happy deer in Grants Pass, Oregon.  They found a really large meal at a hemp farm there.  But they are probably still looking for a midnight snack. 

One thousand (1,000) hemp plants were planted at the farm.  After the deer evaded some barbed wire, they breathed in the aroma of all that bountiful hemp.  It smelled so good that there are now only about 40 plants left, according to the Grants Pass Daily Courier. 

Deer are wild animals so there is no crime.  

But, in California, if you have a small animal, like a dog, who trespasses on your neighbor’s property and destroys plants and property, and this happens repeatedly, this behavior could cause you to receive a citation from your local municipality. 

For example, people living within the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles, who have a dog that repeatedly gets out and destroys neighborhood property could be cited with a violation of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, Article 10, which states, “Any animal that harasses passerby or vehicles, attacks other animals, is repeatedly at large, continuously barks, or trespasses on school, public property, or private property will be considered a public nuisance.  It is a misdemeanor to continue to allow your animal to remain a public nuisance.  (Los Angeles County Code Sec. 10.40.065)
