Historically, the common law required property owners to fence in their livestock, but California was a pioneer in the free range movement, adopting laws that required property owners to fence out livestock owned by others. Learn how California fencing and free range laws strive to achieve a balance between the often conflicting property rights of livestock owners, pet owners and the public. This seminar will also explain how the California laws regulate vicious and dangerous dogs that present a risk to others.
