What if the neighbor continually parked it in your driveway and siphoned gas from your car's tank to run his car?

I understand. The cows were not respecting property lines, and that's the "justification" for the bleaching.
How does one prevent livestock from crossing properly lines, short of fencing them in?
The cattle owner claims a financial loss of $140K due to the bleaching. Can the bleachers make a claim of financial loss?
Also, stealing gas from someone's car is not quite the same as vandalizing it.

The fence between the two properties crosses a creek in multiple spots and recent rainfall has caused water to wash out parts of the fence, allowing the cows to escape, according to the victim.
He says he was working to get the fence fixed.

According to the article, this was not the first rodeo. This had been years in the making.
I grew up in one of the last free range areas in America. When things changed, you fenced in your livestock. When people fenced in their livestock, they started to put money into their pastures.
Good Bermuda requires fertilizer. Even cow patties on common grass have to be broke up with a tractor and a harrow, or the cows won't eat the grass around them.
And fencing? Fencing costs thousands of dollars. Old Ben was right, good fences do make good neighbors.
If your stock gets out, you get them back in as fast as you can. Your neighbors will help. Shucks, a few weeks ago I had to help my FIL's neighbors get a horse and a jackass back in the pasture. Last Wednesday, I helped my nephew pen goats that had gotten out and then we fixed the fence... Those weren't even his goats, but the neighbor wasn't home.
In short, you are responsible for your animals. They eat grass in another pasture or tear up fences, you fix it . That's money they're tearing up and it ain't your money.
The ol boy is lucky it hadn't gotten to the point his neighbor didn't shoot his best bull (it charged him, donchya know?
) and call the law, instead of hitting them with some bleach.
