Rather than regurgitate Scott Heiser’s words, I encourage you to read ALDF’s post about State v. Nix, in which the Oregon appellate court held that individual horses count as separate victims, reversing a trial court holding that multiple abused horses merged into a single count of animal abuse. As the post mentions, this is a very exciting case, and will be very useful persuasive law for cases across the country.

Some judges are beginning to see the light!
Seth, you’re right, it is an exciting holding! I note, however that your State v Nix link goes to the wrong case. The State v. Nix link should go here:

The ALDF link is fine.
Again, though, thanks for bringing this important case to our attention!
Thanks for the catch Lorien.
thanks this post
