Wooster, OH asked in Animal / Dog Law and Land Use & Zoning for Ohio

Q: I need help with a land owner that has animals running at large

Land owner refuses to contain cattle to his property, allowing animals to cross roadway onto my land. Animals have destroyed shrubs and tracked through my lawn and hay field.

February 09, 2018 his cattle were on roadway and caused an accident with a motor vehicle. OSP was on scene to investigate.

I have contacted the USDA, Wayne County Sheriff, Clinton Township trustee and Wayne County Commissioners.

What I would like help with, is, to have landowner to follow the law, ORC 951.02 and 971.22.
