BREAKING DOWN 'Unintentional Tort'. In certain cases, a person causing an accident may be held legally responsible for their negligence and may have to pay a plaintiff for physical injuries, property damage and/or financial loss.
Straw is normally used for a bedding material, while hay is used as a feed supplement. Straw is dried out and works well for building nests and providing cushioning for animals to sleep in. It is not moist like hay and is unlikely to mold.
The animal bedding acts like cat litter, absorbing and coating the manure. This keeps the smell down and the flies away just like we want. Straw and hay canât do this. Remember that a bag of animal bedding only costs about $4 â $8 a bag, which should last a number of months.
