I used to throw hay across the fence at least once a day until the fence did fail, unfortunately, it failed in another place than to my side, (I keep my fence in good condition) and now he keeps his horses penned up all the time. I am just waiting for them to die. It is really testing my resolve to practice what I preach about people minding their own business. Taken to the end conclusion I don't want somebody telling me how to take care of my animals. If this man was treating his children this way I would do something about it but I am not sure I would get the authorities involved.

Then just like you’re complicate in a crime when you watch someone murder or rape someone else and can be held guilty because you didn’t try to stop it; so here.

It’s one thing to mind your business when what someone is doing isn’t harming anyone or any thing else. But there are laws against abusing animals. This isn’t a matter of *getting the government involved* as in creating more of a nanny state by having it pass regulations. This is putting a stop to something that’s WRONG.

If that’s an example of libertarian thinking, people can do what they want on their own property, nobody can tell me what to do, etc. then that builds the best case I’ve seen yet against libertarianism and of why libertarianism would destroy this country. If you won’t do anything to prevent wrong, well, there’s no basis at all to complain when you watch a situation like that.
