Sounds extremely suspicious to me. I'd call the city and I'd contact the police and ask them about this. A sticker? "Volunteer?"

Yes, we do have rustlers in this day and age - bovine, equine, ovine, swine, and even poultry get rustled. Some modern rustlers can be just as violent as the worst of the old time bad men.

I would love for some moron to come and try to put my Arabian in a trailer to "rescue" or steal her...I would find the body where she left it. Her stall Her pasture and she will not go anywhere except with my hubby, myself or daughter....family only.

I should also add that here in Kentucky...folks will load your butt full of buckshot or worse for messing with horses.

I agree with this post. May be someone checking you out for a future visit when your not home.

A generic online "law" encyclopedia doesn't mean anything when it overlooks specific statutes

The laws in many U.S. states allow game wardens to conduct certain types of searches with or without search warrants

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_warden​

I just said it was worth reading but at least I was not quoting wikipedia.


As far as the federal government, game wardens do not have powers above the federal search an seizure laws. States can an do make laws all the time that go outside there bounds but federal judges always get the last say.

I'm pretty sure you cant be charged with any crime in any state for asking for a warrant even if they might not need one. By asking for one you cover your butt.

Point is here in Ohio a game warden can and do go on private land, Check anyone fishing and hunting, matter of fact they can come on your land ,and charge you with killing wildlife out of season, yes without a search warrant.....animal control can enter your home, if they think an animal is in there ,without food and water......without search warrant.

I think they darn near had their body parts removed by the Holstein. Dairy cows, all cows, seem to get very upset when someone tries to remove them from the herd. Ever watched a cutting horse work with real range cattle, as opposed to at a horse show with stock that are more used to being handled? Coolest cow horse action I ever saw was this big, rangy, calm equine who went calmly and willingly into a convenience store during the Puyallup Roundup after some cattle in the parade broke loose and wound up inside the local quicky mart.

Have there been any updates? Hope everything is alright.

No updates. The city closes on Fridays to save money. She won't have a chance to even contact anyone until Monday.

The suppose "city people" who had went though your property might have known the you might contact the city for verification, and chose the right day when the you was not able to contact the city for 3 or 4 days, and might strike around that time. I would call the police just in case!

They cannot legally come on your property without a search warrant, unless you allow them to. This reads like something those peta people would do, in order to check things out on your property. Even worse, someone wanting to steal or harm your animals. I would call the police and have a report filed.
