<< I agree that mental care is what this guy needs...
The problem is, if he is not a danger to others, or himself, he cannot be committed to a mental institution. (cows are not considered "others" only property)
You can thank bleeding heart activists for this. In the 70s they "liberated" the loons, and made it next to impossible for us to care for the mentally ill aganist their will. If they are deemed not to be a danger to themselves, or other humans, they must be released and all mental care must be voluntary. >>
Why would you force someone who's not dangerous to be locked up?
damn that liberty... >>
Have you seen the life of a mentally ill person who refuses treatment??? Most of our homeless are mentally ill people who, with supervision and treatment could lead productive lives. But because we are not allowed to force treatment, they live the way they do.
I'm not talking about jail, but treatment, be it inpatient, or outpatient.
