Had to go to town again today.
Coming back home on 130, just So. of Pahoa, my head snaps up when I see 3 or 4 head of cattle grazing in the tall grass just off the highway.
It's possible I just missed seeing it because of the tall grass and paying attention to traffic.
But, I saw no fence between them and the highway during pretty heavy commuter traffic.
I come out of western states where there are highways in areas that are designated as grazing areas where the vehicle operator carries a large portion of the liability if they hit one.
I know of no similar situation in Hawaii.
My assumption is that on a designated highway in the locality of a city's urban area:
Hit a wild animal, it's your problem.
Hit privately owned livestock, loose on the roadside, the owner is responsible.
What is the situation in Hawaii?

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
