Hi nairalanders, I do have a small vacant land besides my house which I do use to cultivate common vegetables and crops. But the seal in planting such in me has started declining as goats and sheep in my neighborhood seem to be on a special mission to frustrate my little effort in barricading the said farm with nets and wire as the house is not fenced. They destroyed both the net and the crops I had been nurturing.

I complained to the owners of these 'Invaders' but they seemed not to be acting on my complaint.

Note: when my dog was misbehaving just last month I was made to kill it which I did.

I believe many could have interest in planting such crops and vegetables around them to help in reducing cost of foodstuffs but for the fear of these untamed goats and sheep.

Now I wish to know if the anti-open grazing recently passed by the southwest governors is also applicable to domestic animals.

Thanks.

You were made to kill your dog? Are they paying your rent..

It affects all grazing animals, contact the police immediately. You'll get a fair hearing as long as the owners are not Fulani but if they are just accept any compensation they give you

Did you make any attempt to fence your land?
Are you living in a village where livestock have always roamed around?

I only barricaded the portion of the farm land.
Apart from VI and Ikeja and estate areas, every other parts of the southwest are home to domestic animal roaming.

Thus, this happened in a state capital here in Southwest but not in an estate and the said land is not 'fenced'

One of the owners is an influential politicians. Police may not help much

confront the man first, he should be a reasonable person but if not, officially report to the police

I don't think it is illegal to let domestic animals roam in SW unless they pose security threats.

The first thing to do is to fence the farm land, maybe using bamboo to show that you have taken a reasonable protective action.
You can then report the owners to the police for compensation if the owners are not responding.

Make sure you have real evidence, photos and videos of the livestock on your farm, not mere words.

I will advice you seek preventive or civil solution first because people can become vengeful when forced to change.
