Pass laws that only allows persons to rare cattle in designated farming zones/cattle ranches. These zones must be well fenced to avoid animals from public roads.
The City Council needs to Fine these animals owners whose animals is not stamped (branded.) They also need to have contact information for these animals owners. The animals are littering the place daily, the cows goes into the rubbish bins and make a big mess. Have all these animals owners register their animals with the respective City Councils so they can be identified easily. We are told to plant our food but we constantly have to worry about the stray animals that eat or produce. It is getting out of control people shouldn’t have to die for us to get things done in this day and age.
