> What she is doing on her property is negatively affecting his property. <
True that. But that’s not the overriding point here. Freedom is. Just as I have every right to put a dozen plastic pink flamingos in my front yard. That might negatively affect other property values. It would be very thoughtless of me. Even spiteful. No matter. It’s my property.
> Especially if there are leash laws that apply, or feeding ferals laws. <
Ah, yes. And here we would agree. At some point this lady might be breaking a reasonable law. Then it’s no longer a freedom thing.
She is infringing on his rights.
You first example sucks. If the cats were like your flmaingoes and stayed in her yard, no issue.
The cats arent flamingoes stuck in the ground, they come over and crap all over his yard. She doesn’t clean up their messes like pet owners have to docfor their animals.
I get your point, Leaning, but your plastic pink flamingo brigade is not leaving poops on your neighbor’s lawn.
What you do in your space should not spill over into another person’s space. If it does, you are violating their property rights.
