Goats vs HOA Fence Laws | Venice Beach News

A Laguna Hills family is locked in a legal battle with their HOA after losing seven goats to local coyotes — and trying everything from taller fences to lights to keep the rest safe. When they extended their fence beyond the HOA’s six-foot limit, they were sued, arguing the HOA’s rules ignore the real danger to livestock. The Blumes say it’s absurd to compare a goat’s life to a tennis ball, while the HOA insists on enforcing its rules — even as proposed fixes are too costly or ineffective. This clash pits animal safety against community aesthetics, and the court will decide who wins: the family’s desperate need to protect their pets — or the HOA’s rigid regulations.
