What's the succinct way of say this?:
-We will not __ them.
('hold responsible' is not the same thing. When we know someone is the culprit, we accuse him. This is holding him responsible. But determining and in

Perhaps something like:
Residents here are free to graze (= to put cattle, sheep, etc., to feed on grass, pastureland, etc.) their animals on the farm, but if the animals are lost, we will not investigate the cause or pursue the perpetrators.
