its not overreach if its the actual law and it was brought to their attention by someone else. assuming they weren't out just kicking in doors and looking for pet squirrels and coons and the report was made by a vet out of concern, do they really have a choice to not investigate and respond accordingly? if they ignored it, the vet would make a big deal out of it. change the law if you don't like it applied as it reads. its like me getting stopped for doing 5 mph over the limit and being upset i got a ticket. or blowing .082% and getting arrested for dui. or setting my blind up 5 feet on someone else's property because the cover did extend on to the stuff i had permission on. anywho... you get the point. on a slightly different topic, can you not vaccinate coons and squirrels for rabies like you can dogs and cats?
