This boy is in a heap of trouble, and deserves to be.

Hmm, I wonder what happened to the "open range" law. Must have been repealed in that state.

The warrant said troopers have complained to Kunzler in the past, but he made remarks to the effect, "I don't care if my cows are hit by cars. I make more money claiming them on my insurance than selling them at the auction." This will play nicely in court...

I started reading this, ready to defend the rancher, but this ol' boy deserves what he's going to get. Sounds like a total slob rancher, and his indifference has killed someone.

It started out a steer and ended up a cow. Musta been one helluva crash.

It doesn't say what she was driving.
I'm guessing that it wasn't an SUV.
To: Tarpaulin
Wait, wait, wait... Is there NOT an SUV that can be blamed here? Somehow?... Some way?....

In Texas all counties used to be open range. Now we have local option on that issue. Even in "opne range" counties livestock has to keep off of Federal and State numbered highways.

By the title of the thread alone I can tell she was NOT driving a SUV.

"It would have to be outrageous before we felt like it was appropriate to file charges like this," prosecutor Scott Wyatt said. "There have been a lot of cattle-car accidents in this valley, and none of those rise to a level of a crime. It's just when there's complete disregard." Sounds like udder disregard for the law!

Idaho law gives right of way to livestock. If you hit an animal, you must compensate the owner.

About a month ago there was a report in Arizona of a woman who was killed when she hit a wild horse. :(

I live in Maryland and my neighbor owned a fair number of cattle...and 3 bulls. One of his bulls got out, twice, coming on to our land...animal control warned him he had to control it.
He did nothing to secure the bull and it got out again. That bull came on our land..again, and attacked ME (no horns, tried to trample me). I made it to our house, go my 12 guage and loaded it with slugs.
We the bull came at me again, I shot it 3 times in the head and killed it.
He sued me...I counter sued. We went to court and he lost...I won my counter suit for personal and property damages.
Not only that, animal control confiscated his entire herd and fined him $10,000. also, I was told by the ACO, if I wanted to, that he could be charge with a form of "assault", but I declined to press charges.
A year before this, several of his steers got out, and went out onto our rural road, bunched on a blind curve. Another neighbor ran into them, totaled his car, and broke his shoulder. He sued him and won some $50,000 as well.
Some people are just fools, and they are all over the place. BTW, this guy is just a some rich guy who owns a a big computer software company, who thinks he's a land baron because he he could buy 500 acres and built a house with large fenced pastures....but knows NOTHING about running such an operation. He still can't control his horses and dogs...yet he wonders why his neighbors can stand him.

Kunzler was arrested Monday and charged with one count of criminal homicide-manslaughter in the death of Kimberly Johnson of Auburn, Wash., a 40-year-old mother of six who was killed Nov. 27 after hitting one of his cows. Between the headline and this paragraph there appears to be some confusion on the reporters part over the gender of this animal.

His reckless disregard got a mother killed. He should pay, both with criminal and civil charges.
He's out of the ranching business one way or the other.

"I don't care if my cows are hit by cars. I make more money claiming them on my insurance than selling them at the auction." and I don't care if they lock him up and throw away the key.....after they take everything he owns and gives it to the woman's family
