Kinda like asking if there’s a way around speed limits because, well, you are fond of driving fast and speed is emotionally calming to you. If there’s no exception in the law that prohibits roosters, which I have not looked up, then there’s no way around it. Areas are zoned as farmland and... View More

I assume you actually want to incorporate a farming enterprise, with the entity under a corporate name. And yes, the new corporation will have to pay taxes under a new tax id. Whether the land is part of the corporation or not needs to be carefully considered.

A Louisiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a month.

Q: I think my boss wants me to break a law for his business, can I be held accountable?

I work at a pet boarding facility, and in the state of Florida, owners are required to have their dogs up to date on their rabies vaccine. My boss told me to accept a dog that is out of date on his rabies vaccine..

Terrence H Thorgaard

answered on Feb 27, 2021

I believe the requirement that owners keep their animals vaccinated would be Florida Statute 828.30. It doesn't appear to include any requirement that pet boarding facilities refuse to accept unvaccinated animals, and if there is that would be your boss's duty, not yours.

Q: What can you suggest to make the law more preventive than reactive?

answered on Oct 29, 2020

Many people already see the law as being preventive in nature. This can be found in statutes and codes that are seen as being deterrents to the commission of crimes, or that serve to discourage other forms of wrongdoing in the civil sector. Good luck
