Why I Love the Balkans

Wild Bear sued for damages and found guilty for stealing honey- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7295559.stm Only in the Balkans . . . well and maybe some other places - several years ago I read an article about a man in Africa who was made to marry a goat (and care for her as his wife) that he had been found having intimate relations with.

Really, after you read this article it seems like it is more a case against the state seeing as they have to pay for damages - how would it work in the States? I think you would file a complaint against a pesky animal with fish and Game - and they would try to capture and relocate it, and if the relocation didn't work, they would put the animal down if it proved to be enough of a nuisance.
