		<description><![CDATA[My yard is fenced with entrance gates at the front and back of the property.  I have found during recent weeks that a neighbor has been opening the front gate where the sidewalk is and entering my yard to allow her dog to use lawn and sometimes that side of the house as its personal toilet.  Since my yard is gated and the neighbor is entering through a latched gate, can it be considered trespassing?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My husband hit a dog with his vehicle on a very busy road.  Apparently the dog received over $6,000 in medical attention, and now the owner of the dog wants us to pay the bill.   Can we be held liable if the dog ran into the road, without a leash on, nor a fence on the property?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently adopted a young male kitten from Oakland (CA) Animal Shelter. Their policy is to neuter all cats, even very young kittens,  before adoption. However, this kitten was sick so they postponed the procedure and let me bring him home.  Now they are insisting that I neuter him now, but I think that he is too young and the vets that I have consulted agree. What can I do?]]></description>
