Q: Why aren't there any federal laws that protect all animals?
Emmanuel Muwonge's answer
The Act you took issue with was not intended to regulate how animals are used for research purposes, but only to set standards for how they are obtained and maintained at a facility
APHIS's Animal Care (AC) program oversees the AWA, which includes about 10,300 facilities. These AC officials make unannounced facility inspections to ensure they are in compliance with regulations, and to identify unregistered facilities.

Yes, you can possess it and, as I advised you yesterday, you can have it in your car if it is "securely encased or is otherwise not readily accessible for immediate use". If it's in an unlocked glove box, it is arguably readily accessible for immediate use.
Also, as a former firearms safety instructor, I would suggest that it's safer to not have a round in the chamber of a semi-automatic handgun until you are ready to use it.

Best advice is that you need to consult with a tenant attorney ASAP. There is a way to get out of a lease, but you must follow the proper steps and set it up correctly. You need hands on legal advice not a blurb from this site.

This license permits the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the licensed premises by the glass or other open container. The license also allows the sale of package goods for consumption off the licensed premises.

It does not appear that the "bull collector" did anything cause the bull to die, so I do not see how he could be responsible for any damages for the bull's death.

Assuming you couldn't avoid it the owner of the cow is responsible for your damages and any injuries. If no injuries, and you have collision, run it through your company and they can go after the farmer.

Stephen Douglas Lombardi's answer
It is improper and may even be a crime for someone to threaten to have someone put in jail over a disputed civil matter, such as an unpaid bill. In Polk County we refer to that as extortion. The contract you signed is what governs who should pay for what and when.

Sounds like you did a good deed and allowed a friend to leave their animal with you. I am hoping by this time the friend has picked up their animal. If not, I would notify them that if they have not picked up the animal by a time certain you will be charging at so much a day. This will likely encourage them to pick up their animal.

The Legislature can pass any law that is "reasonably connected" to the good of the public or public safety. Use of colored lighting on vehicles that can be confused by members of the driving public as police emergency lights.
That being said, you may have an "as applied" constitutional law challenge, if your vehicle was never observed on a public highway or right of way. That would cost several thousand dollars, for an appellate attorney to pursue.
