Bank owned property with livestock issue

Ok so here we go first off this is in Louisiana and our laws tend to be a little different from other states.

An individual owns two pieces of land, one small tract with a mobile home and a larger tract behind where they keep livestock.  The bank, which is located in another state, forecloses on the land behind the property and is ready to list it.  One problem, the owner will not remove the animals and continues to put fencing across the driveway.  It is a difficult battle because of where the "precious owner" lives.

Technically, it isn't my issue but I like to maintain bank relationships.

In your opinion what steps would you take?

Thanks in advance for your input,

Chase Pino

This is one for a Louisiana attorney to answer, but I certainly would not mess with the fence if it's keeping livestock under control.  There could be a serious liability issue if somebody caused livestock to be at large and get hit on a roadway. People totally destroy vehicles or even die from hitting livestock on a road!
