VT Woman builds "screen" to block her livestock from distracting neighbors

A Thetford, Vermont, woman erected a 60-foot by 24-foot barrier obstructing her view of her neighbor's new home. Former Vermont gubernatorial candidate Ruth Dwyer has lived on her 200-plus acre farm in for more than 40 years.

For almost all of that time, Dwyer said she and her 150 animals had most of the surrounding area to themselves.That changed two years ago with the construction of a new home across the street, overlooking her farm
quote:
"Everything that goes on over there is taking place in a way that it distracts the livestock because of the location of all the activity, and it's very close. There never used to be any activity there. It's all normal activity for a house. It's just not normal for my livestock,” Dwyer said, adding she has no ill will towards her neighbors.
Dwyer recalled one instance when she was loading one of her horses onto a van and it was spooked by a child who had come outside to play basketball in her neighbor’s driveway, which she said was clearly visible from her barn.
“I knew it was going to be a problem,” Dwyer said.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when she has to change her clocks twice a year.

Is she wearing a snuggie, or is her head just super small?

she doesnt realize that the animals would eventually get used to the house across the way?

I'd rather look at this than her face.

Maybe she needs to create an account on farmers only and get a man in her life

Damn I hope she doesn't ride that horse if it spooks at everything it's never seen before

something tells me it's more that she doesn't want her new neighbor to see what SHE is doing with these animals than her concern for the animals.

This would be an interesting proposition taken to its extreme (and believe me a lot of people would take it to the extreme).

I'd imagine she used some of her political pull to get those permits. frick, I could barely move a fence 5ft forward in Jefferson Parish without jumping through hoops for a couple of months

she's a wacko and her contractor friend is an arse, distracting livestock? sigh.

It's not for her animals. Its clear to me from the interview.
