From the Article...The guy had up a legal fence and the Bison kept knocking it down and doing other damage. The Bison kept intruding so he authorized people to come shoot them. I don't see a problem here unless he killed them on other people's land.

In a civil lawsuit filed in early March, Hawn claimed the Downare's bison walked all over his property.

"On numerous separate occasions, herds of buffalo have broken through the fence and stampeded onto the Property to graze on the grass. The damage that the defendants' buffalo have caused to the Property is staggering. The fences are damaged and/or destroyed in more than fifty locations. The bent poles and broken wire has compromised the integrity of the entire fence. Additionally, the Defendants' buffalo have killed hundreds of trees on the property, including many trees near to the home that Mr. Hawn had professionally installed within the past year."

The lawsuit also states that the bison "knocked the TV and satellite Internet dishes off line" and caused additional damage to solar panels.

The lawsuit states that Hawn had a legal fence around his property at the time of the trespasses.

The Bison kept intruding so he authorized people to come shoot them.

I'd like to know how the guy [Hawn] can authorize someone to break the law and I believe the Sheriff and prosecutors would also like to know that.
