Lakeland,Florida-Truck Hit A Horse

private driveway.....a home..?? a farm..???

maybe the horse was a stray, went there daily for food..??

you know, like you feed a cat, and it keeps coming back..??

it "could be" the owner, it "could be" someone assumed to be the owner.

did the horse have a lip tattoo to identify it?

did the horse have a chip to identify it?

gotta be proven who actually owns the horse.

so, if a horse came out of YOUR driveway, automatically, it's YOUR HORSE..???

was it a real farm..??

was it a home that had a horse..??

again...he should have had his own insurance

poor horsey is dead, and no one cares...

The jumps to conclusions and making assumptions in this thread is hysterical.

 

yes, yes it is, isn't they.>??

#horselivesmatter people will be here soon too...!!!

why people think the owner of the horse is liable for what the horse did, is beyond me as well.

so, a horse, and a monkey go into a bar, the monkey gets smashed and rides the horse downtown.

the horse craps in the street, and the monkey gets a DUI and littering fine.

who really should get the ticket..??

the bartender..?? the owner of the bar..??

the circus that USED to own the monkey..??

or the horse for being non-union..???

 

there has to be proof the owner or alleged owner failed to keep the animal coraled.

since you posted this thread, why don;t you make it your mission now to continue to follow up on this developing story?

until then, it's the old story of someone (the truck driver) passing off his responsibilities for his injuries due to his lack of thought, in having insurance.

 

Reading the statues is a great idea. If you did so you would see that requirement of fencing kept in reasonably good repair. Do that and you are in the clear.

Lot of experts in this thread but i bet not a single one owns land in Florida with live stock on it.
I happen to own livestock here in Florida, and over the years i have had them get out and be struck by vehicles, including 2 horses by a large carrier totaling the truck. Wasnt held responsible in any of those events. Why? Fencing is kept in reasonably good repair.

It is not possible to guarantee horses or cattle will never get out. If something spooks them that animal will go through any fence. Heck i had a brahma bull go through the concrete block wall of my barn.

 

thank you, that's all he/she wrote......!!!!!

and why i continue to say...good luck suing the owner....!!!!!!
