Animal control laws and officers challenge your right to dog ownership









Animal control laws and officers challenge your right to dog ownership

Animal laws that limit the number of animals allowed in a household or vaguely define a “bad smell” in the pet owner’s home are intended to make it easier to prosecute individuals.

Many dog owners in recent years have faced the unthinkable; a knock at their door that has heralded the arrival of an Animal Control officer with a complaint about your dog(s). In some cases that visit has been concluded satisfactorily to both the dog owner and the animal control officer; in others it has meant the heartache of either seizure of the owner’s dog(s) and/or facing stiff fines for various reasons in an abuse, neglect, or number limit citation.

With animal ownership laws now undergoing radical evolving changes throughout the country, the result is now a ‘perverted’ evolving animal “activist” produced animal care and control law now being used. Animal rights ‘extremists' some of which are in fact, animal control officers, and others working in animal rights group legislation lobbies are the new means for dog owner 'harassment.' The constant upgrade of these radical ‘animal controlling’ laws drastically increases the ‘real’ possibility of a visit to your door on your own private property from Animal Control Authorities becoming ever more of a specter to haunt you and also every dog owner in the nation.

Specifically targeted by legislation ‘activists’ are creating the laws that 'limit' the number of dogs, cats, pets, and animals allowed in a household (by an unsubstantiated arbitrary pet ‘limit’ number) which is intended to make it easier to prosecute individuals who are thought to have "too many," according to this arbitrary standard put into the animal law. Even more sinister is that these ‘activist’ pushed animal laws are also applied even to those people who are not in violation of health, nuisance and humane laws.

These dog or animal "number limit" laws are now being joined by various other anti-pet ownership restrictive laws, such as mandatory breeder permits and licensing requirements (being pursued for example at this time in Iowa legislation) for even a single one time litter of any dog and the owner is now faced with major state intrusive inspections for a kennel or breeder license for having more than 3 pets in the home, or having a single litter of puppies. All of this being “PAINTED” as the need to stop alleged puppy mills, which of course in most instances is “bull”. Other totally vague animal control laws that can threaten responsible dog owners who are not in any kind of notable breeding or kenneling business are those ‘activist’ lobbied animal laws that allow the animal control officer to ‘define’ the offense of “BAD SMELL” in the home as a violation in animal control care and control laws. Many good and loving pet owners whose dogs are well cared for and kept as their extended family members are suddenly in violation of an animal control officers “definition of “BAD SMELL” in the home, based upon the pets living in their homes, rather than caged outside alone and exposed to the climate, like a beast.

Why, there are many people, who object to a ‘single turd’ in a field that can be smelled downwind from 3 miles away, and object to that smell as a “BAD SMELL” under animal law or other people who are obsessed, compelled or driven to use massive amounts of dangerous cleaning products (by the liter or gallon) in a home (that are dangerous to the health of the animals and humans alike)to kill any and all ‘bad’ smells; so take into account an ‘activist’ animal control officer, who is this described ‘clean freak’ inspecting pet owner homes, using this vague and intrusive animal law as a criminal, abusive, or neglectful animal law violation according to their ‘definition of a ‘BAD SMELL’ in the pet owners home.

This vague and intrusive ‘unbalanced’ definition of tyranny control in the animal law begs for fees, fines, confiscations, seizures, and ultimate adoption or euthanasia of properly maintained pet owner animals in their home. Tyranny at its core to allow an ‘activist’ animal control officer to ‘harass’ and ‘intimidate’ virtually any pet owner in their jurisdiction, based solely upon a “BAD SMELL?” Please! These ‘activist’ animal laws have completely gone over the edge of the cliff in dealing in ‘reality’ and ‘common sense’.

'Animals C.L.U.B.- Freedom' National Organization Incorporated (Nonprofit) is actively opposing all restrictive legislation limiting the responsible pet ownership of all dogs, cats, and other pets. Unfortunately some 'perverted' anti-pet ownership laws have still made their way onto the books. Just take a look at the 94 + page anti-pet ordinance of Louisville, KY by its Metro council, or the tyranny animal control laws with a three strike violation rule, taking away any right to owning any pet or animal in Omaha, Nebraska, or the 3-strike violation rule in Mills County, Iowa if your little 'fluffy' is caught off your private property 3 times. Your little "Fluffy" will be declared a "dangerous dog" according to their animal care and control ordinance for the county. How’s that for success in animal control laws stopping animal crimes in the midst of a rural county? These ‘activist’ based and promoted animal tyranny laws are occurring all across the nation as we speak. Ever more intrusive and controlling by the day.

For all dog owners, do we need reminded that it is important to promote the need for responsible freedom in the care and ownership of your dog(s) and pets in order to prevent tyranny from overcoming common sense in dog ownership matters? Or is it going to take a ‘knock at your door’ and an unlawful dog confiscation without any ‘due process’ for the dog owner to open your eyes to the truth in animal law "tyranny" now days?


Breeding even a single dog litter is now the ‘target’ of license laws

There is great value to society in the historic preservation of all our pet ownership of our chosen dog breeds as extended members of our family, and in the selective, planned breeding of our pets, for desirable and predictable traits in our chosen and favored dog breeds as well.

Claims that the organized dog fancy or local backyard hobby dog breeders contributes to the problem of homeless dogs in shelters cannot be supported by any alleged evidence from any Animal Rights activist groups, such as PETA, ELF, ALF, HSUS, ASPCA or any local humane society through facts that are real, not manufactured like liberal propaganda.

Above all else, dog owners, backyard dog hobbyists and dog fanciers must all become aware of the animal control laws in their own locale, and must also be aware of their 'rights' if faced with that ‘intrusive’ visit from an Animal Control Officer or Law Enforcement Officer regarding your pets and animals, and their ability to ‘harass’ you with vague and ‘interpretive’ definitions of the animal laws.

It is necessary for all dog and pet owners to be familiar with all animal identification regulations for your dogs in your locale, as the future to continued further 'restrictive' local, county, state, or federal animal care, control, or identification regulations are potentially, only a 'stroke of the pen' away from being amended to include identification of many non-farm related pets and animals to be further controlled and cared for by government laws, due to any potential future transmission of a communicable animal disease in dogs or other pets or animals that may arise.

At that time, you and your dogs, and animals will then have to deal with Federal, State, and local animal control regulations on your private property, called a premises. Not only will you have a real possibility of 'animal control' showing up with restrictive regulations and ordinances of your dogs and your ownership freedom, but you will also have to deal with the 'dog-ma' of inspector police from the USDA animal and agriculture authorities or your state controlled 'dog-cops' checking your animals on your private property premises as well.

ALWAYS, Always, always, educate yourself and learn your animal control laws for your area and 'stand your ground' in knowing your 'rights' in responsible dog ownership. Always insure you have a name, and contact number for an Attorney at Law that is familiar with ‘Animal Law” in order to represent you and your dogs, not if, but when, the ‘activists’ in animal control come knocking at your door.

Remember when it comes to freely owning your dogs, pets and animals in an area frequented by Animal Rights Activists or Animal Control, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple."

Does anyone know anything about these HSUS animal rights agenda training camps?

Humane Society of the United States claim they are training law enforcement

By Dean A. Ayers Monday, December 21, 2009

QUESTION: Does anyone know anything about these HSUS animal rights agenda cop training camps? No one is publicly preaching or teaching about this agenda. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) proudly claims they “are” training law enforcement to shut down animal breeders.

ANSWER: HSUS has documented law enforcement animal rights agenda accomplishments in 2008:

Here are the HSUS quotes on these training camp accomplishments as follows;

The newly established Humane Society Legislative Fund began lobbying on Capitol Hill to secure legislation, support animal friendly Congressional candidates for office, and educate the public.

We also helped prosecutors win the conviction of scores of animal abusers and animal fighters — assisting with cases involving dog fighting, hoarding, farm animal abuse, and puppy mills. We created a new HSUS Animal Protection Litigation (APL) SWAT team consisting of 12 full-time attorneys and recruited hundreds of pro bono lawyers.

More than 57,700 law enforcement officers, educators, shelter professionals, emergency services personnel and veterinarians attended HSUS training and education classes.

The only cure for “puppy mill” legislation proposal propaganda is a large dose of the truth.

HSUS has previously claimed Pennsylvania was the “puppy mill” capitol of the USA. Now it seems that Ohio is the puppy mill capitol. Or is it Arizona? Or Colorado? Or Iowa? Or Illinois? As a result of these unfounded “puppy mill” capitol claims, legislators are clamoring to erase any stigma of being potentially labeled the “puppy mill” capitol of the USA, affecting their state’s good name. But they cannot all be the “puppy mill” capitol can they?

The key to resolving this problem and question, like so many issues, is education. Legislators want to do the right thing. They rely on constituents to tell them what problems are occurring in their districts. In the absence of good information, a slick propaganda campaign like the HSUS puppy mill effort can really take hold in many states, especially when the HSUS admittedly are sending law enforcement to their “animal rights” education training camps for alleged re-education on the animal rights side of the agenda. And what is even scarier, is that various law enforcements agencies are allegedly accepting these “training camp” education invitations to be allegedly re-educated on animal issues.

What is clear is that numerous legislators “wanting to do the right thing” for their state’s citizens in these alleged or suspected “puppy mill” states. The legislators allegedly disclose they are not aware that they are being deceived by the animal rights groups.

In press releases by the state legislators authoring the various puppy mill bills, many express shock at discovering that their state is the “puppy mill” capitol of the U.S.

But they cannot all be the “puppy mill” capitols can they, as animal rights activists want you to believe in their aggressive “puppy mill” reaching campaigns in many states. Just like one such aggressive “puppy mill” disclosure agenda in Iowa, by Mary LaHay, allegedly campaigning in the state of Iowa for her IowaVCA agenda.


So who is Rights or Wrong on “puppy mill” state’s statistics?

We the People, who love, care, control, and observe our dogs, and other owner’s dogs (or dog kennel businesses) daily, must ask our ourselves, and then ask our representatives and senators to verify the claims of kennel abuses before believing that their state is a haven for abusive “puppy mill” kennels.

Pro sportsmen in each state must ask their legislators to make sure that these “puppy mill” proposal bills do not impact small kennels that may sell only a few dogs in a proper and legitimate love, and caring, home, and animal welfare environment, as they primarily exist for hunting, field trials, hobbies, etc.

Elected officials must be told by We the People, that we are not the source of pet store dog purchases. There by preventing confusion in your comments and legislative proposal requests sent to your legislators, who are now treating private dog kennels the same as large scaled commercial “puppy mill” entities.

These USDA and large scale dog kennels allegedly containing hundreds or thousands of poor helpless and defenseless dogs, being “factory farmed” in relentless abusive breeding techniques and conditions, that will ultimately result in the elimination of the small scale legitimate home breeders and the sporting dog kennels who actually do care about the love for dog(s), and the proper and responssible animal welfare of their dogs and puppies.

When the people in each state contact their senators and representatives, they are not always told this “truthful” information I describe in this article. Rather generalizations and a stereotype of “puppy mills” is instead portrayed to the legislators. This is very damaging to responsible small scale dog breeders and to private property dog owners at best. It is just plain evil at worst.

Most legislators must also contend with behind the scenes issues, like the alleged dog kennel or animal rights lobbying in attempting to curb the legislators on the animal rights or animal welfare issues, depending on which side you campaign for.

In reaction the legislators want to make sure they (the legislators) are not over-reaching in new animal laws or they take the “extreme” measure and pass “anything goes” in good or bad animal laws for dog and animal owners, let alone dog breeders.

Many legislators have been open to animal legislation changes protecting smaller private property pets, small scale sporting dogs or small independent family controlled dog kennels. You just don’t know how the legislators are going to react.

The burden is on us to make sure they know the truth. Additionally, it is important the We the People communicate our concerns also to our local animal shelter, animal rescues, and animal control authorities, as to the “truth” in our information, as it is obvious now, that the HSUS, has a proactive agenda to radically influence all law enforcement authorities in their animal rights activists agendas.

An Open Letter of "Satire" to Mills County, Iowa Animal Control Authorities



Do I Have to Pay Animal Taxes on My "not" Raised Dogs?


An Open Letter of "Satire" to Mills County, Iowa Animal Control Authorities

Do I have to pay animal taxes on my "not" raised dogs with your office in Mills County, Iowa according to your new animal care and control county tyranny laws?

1 August 09

Dear Mills County, Iowa Sires and Animal Care and Control Authorities,

My friend over at Well Fare, Iowa just received two subsidy checks for $1,000 each from their county government office of animal care and control run by the State of Iowa Animal Rights Activist Legislation Employment Office, for "not" raising dogs in Iowacounties.

Right now I'm not getting any extra help from the government while I'm displaced from my previous employment because of the failing economy, so I want to go into the "not-raising-dogs" business, sponsored by State of Iowa and Mills County, Iowa Animal Rights Activist Legislation Employment Office, which I heard was sponsored by the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) created by the USDA. I heard allegedly that these new animal care and control laws you now have are now approved by Mills County, Iowa, Board of Supervisors, on 1 March 2009, in order to promote tyranny in animal care and control of law abiding dog and pet owners in your Iowa County. All of this animal control, of course, for the purpose of totally "taxing" dog and animal owners to "death" in the county, or face confiscation of their animals by the county animal controlling authorities.

So in the spirit of following your new animal 'taxation' laws in Mills County, Iowa; what I want to know is, in your opinion, what is the best kind of dog home or animal farm "not" to raise dogs in, and what is the best breed of dogs "not" to raise in Mills County, Iowa?

Do I have to register or license my "not" raised dogs with the new National Animal Identification System (NAIS) of the USDA, or with the Mills County, Iowa ARF Animal Control office? Also can I "not" report all the dogs that I will "not" own, every 24 hours as required by the NAIS regulations, when I do "not" move them off premises, so I will "not" be fined $1,000 a day, per "not" dog or animal, per "not" violating the regulations, according to the USDA NAIS and Mills County, Iowa anti-dog care and control regulations "not?"

I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor of "not" raising any dogs with my family in Mills County, Iowa in keeping with all the USDA and Mills County, Iowa alleged governmental/corporation "taxation without representation" funded laws and policies that your animal care and control laws allegedly promote. I would prefer "not" to raise purebred, cross-breed, mixed dogs, or any rescued dogs, but if that is not a good type or breed "not" to raise as a family dog, then I will just as gladly "not" raise any AKC registered breed of dogs on my private property either, in Mills County, Iowa.

As I see it, the hardest part of this USDA and Mills County, Iowa "animal taxation" and tyranny animal care and control legislation program will be in keeping an accurate inventory of how many dogs I have "not" raised.

That being said, in the "not" raising dogs for "unincorporated county area families" animal care and control brochures (not), for small dog non-producers, which I will qualify for; that this regulation and animal license and taxation program is "not" voluntary, even if my dogs are permanent indoor house dogs.

I need to know that as long as I "not" let the "not" raised family dogs off my private property, called "not" a dog owner premises," then I understand you will "not" subject my family to tyranny controlled 'taxation' and "harassment" on my private property about my "not" owned dogs under the Mills County, Iowa animal care and control animal taxation control legislation program that is now mandatory.

Can you please tell me if I got the Mills County, Iowa dog taxation facts correct from the new animal care and control laws you approved, Sire? I understand you all are "not" very responsive to citizens questions about this new animal care and control law, but that you all think you already have "all" the right answers at the USDA and Mills County, Iowa animal control authority office's "not."

My friend, named Dam Pissed, is very joyful about the future of this Mills County, Iowa tyranny taxation of all the dogs in the rural county (especially any dog that never leaves the inside of their house), by your alleged agri-biz-incorporated sponsored "welfare" county business, of "not" raising dogs" in family homes on private property in the rural areas of this county." I also heard that you just essentially 'copied' the tyranny animal care and control ordinance from a neighboring county of Mills? Did you not know how to properly write animal care and control legislation that would actually be 'fair' to dog owners in the county? Was it really necessary to plagiarize tyranny animal control laws from someone else?

My friend, named DAM PISSED, has been raising his family dogs for twenty years or so, and the best he ever made on them was $422 in a county dog show prize award in 1988. Until this year 2009, when he got two subsidy checks for $1000 each for "not" raising any dogs anymore, from your USDA and his neighboring county in Iowa by their sponsored animal care, taxation, and control programs "not."

If I can get $1000 (like my friend DAM PISSED) for each "not" raised family dog on my private property in Mills County, Iowa like my friend allegedly did in his county, then if I "not" raise 50 dogs on my private property in Mills County, Iowa will I get a bigger check of subsidy? For example, can I get $2000 for "not" raising 100 dogs, as long as I do "not" license them, and register them with the new National Animal Identification System (NAIS) "not"?

Also, with the bad economy and high price of food now days, I am considering the "not" raising cows or hogsanimal control program on family private property that the USDA and various Iowa Counties also sponsor from all those "not" so interested independent farmers "not" making any money on their family farms. I think they call them "mad cow" family operations don't they, so please send me any information you have on that subsidy program in Mills County, Iowa also for "not" raising those family pets or animals also.

In view of these circumstances, Sires, you understand that I am now totally unemployed and that I have no money to pay for all these new 'tyranny' dog license taxes for "not" raising any dogs, pets or animals on my private property in Mills County, Iowa. There for I plan to file for Iowa State Unemployment and Federal Government food stamps also, while I am "not" raising all these NAIS and Mills County, Iowa controlled animals.

Sires, after you have began to tax me and my dogs, pets, and animals "to death" for simply owning my own dogs, pets or animals in your fine establishment of a county in Iowa with all these new animal care and control laws "not" will you subsidize my 'burial" of pet ownership also?

Be assured, Sires, you all will have my VOTE in the coming elections for YOUR re-election. NOT!

Patriotic-ally Yours,

Mr. Dog Smith, "A Man who just owns a pet dog inside his home as his family".

PS. Please notify me when you are giving out free Iowa surplus corn and cheese, from the independent animal home owners and farmers you run out of business by your tyranny animal taxation laws.

PPS: TO ALL AMERICANS; For "Real" folks; Just VOTE, "NO" to Deadwood County, and State Politicians, who won't say "NO" to NAIS or the USDA or to STOP Anti-Pet, animal care and control county taxation and tyranny animal laws, spay/neuter to avoid taxation tyranny requirements, and unlawful and unconstitutional animal care and control legislation that does "not" provide "due process" for a pet owner before animal control can confiscate, seize or euthanize your dogs. This county has approved animal care and control regulations with an agenda to end American's freedoms and liberties to freely own animals and pets without government intrusion or violation of the U.S. Constitution and that is appalling!

PPPS: Also, Stop the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) to "protect" America from corporate - government intervention into American's U.S. Constitutional freedoms on your "own" private property with animals called a premises.

PPPPS: Stop any and all perverted Anti-Pet Ownership ordinances, spay/neuter license requirements, and mandatory taxation for animal owner control legislation/laws that take away your rights to freely own and maintain your pets and dogs on your own private property.

And by the way, please tell Mills County, Iowa. "We the People Have the Right to Bear F.arms!"

...AND OWN OUR DOGS, PETS AND ANIMALS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTRUSION!

RFID Chip Implants Are Linked to Animal Tumors



RFID Chip Implants Are Linked to Animal Tumors

(NationalDogPress) - When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans and already allowed the implantation of Micro Chips in pets and animals, the manufacturer said it would save lives and allow owners to find their pets when lost, as well as human use of letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, however, they failed to research the many studies already accomplished to prove a link of RFID chip implantation to cancer in animals.

Neither the RFID companies nor government regulators, nor mass media, publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had "induced" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats.

"The transponders were the cause of the tumors," said Keith Johnson, a retired toxicologic pathologist, explaining in a phone interview the findings of a 1996 study he led at the Dow Chemical Co. in Midland, Mich.

Leading cancer specialists reviewed the research for The Associated Press and, while cautioning that animal test results do not necessarily apply to humans, said the findings troubled them. Some said they would not allow family members or their pets to receive RFID Chip implants, and all urged further research before the glass-encased transponders are widely implanted in people or pets.

Published in veterinary and toxicology journals between 1996 and 2006, the studies found that lab mice and rats injected with microchips sometimes developed subcutaneous "sarcomas" - malignant tumors, most of them encasing the implants.

- A 1998 study in Ridgefield, Conn., of 177 mice reported cancer incidence to be slightly higher than 10 percent - a result the researchers described as "surprising."

- A 2006 study in France detected tumors in 4.1 percent of 1,260 microchipped mice. This was one of six studies in which the scientists did not set out to find microchip-induced cancer but noticed the growths incidentally. They were testing compounds on behalf of chemical and pharmaceutical companies; but they ruled out the compounds as the tumors' cause. Because researchers only noted the most obvious tumors, the French study said, "These incidences may therefore slightly underestimate the true occurrence" of cancer.

- In 1997, a study in Germany found cancers in 1 percent of 4,279 chipped mice. The tumors "are clearly due to the implanted microchips," the authors wrote.

Caveats accompanied the findings. "Blind leaps from the detection of tumors to the prediction of human health risk should be avoided," one study cautioned. Also, because none of the studies had a control group of animals that did not get chips, the normal rate of tumors cannot be determined and compared to the rate with chips implanted.

Still, after reviewing the research, specialists at some pre-eminent cancer institutions said the findings raised red flags.

"There's no way in the world, having read this information, that I would have one of those chips implanted in my skin, or in one of my family members," said Dr. Robert Benezra, head of the Cancer Biology Genetics Program at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

Before microchips are implanted on a large scale in humans, he said, testing should be done on larger animals, such as dogs or monkeys. "I mean, these are bad diseases. They are life-threatening. And given the preliminary animal data, it looks to me that there's definitely cause for concern."

Dr. George Demetri, director of the Center for Sarcoma and Bone Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, agreed. Even though the tumor incidences were "reasonably small," in his view, the research underscored "certainly real risks" in RFID implants.

In humans, sarcomas, which strike connective tissues, can range from the highly curable to "tumors that are incredibly aggressive and can kill people in three to six months," he said.

At the Jackson Laboratory in Maine, a leader in mouse genetics research and the initiation of cancer, Dr. Oded Foreman, a forensic pathologist, also reviewed the studies at the AP's request.

At first he was skeptical, suggesting that chemicals administered in some of the studies could have caused the cancers and skewed the results. But he took a different view after seeing that control mice, which received no chemicals, also developed the cancers. "That might be a little hint that something real is happening here," he said. He, too, recommended further study, using mice, dogs or non-human primates.

Dr. Cheryl London, a veterinarian oncologist at Ohio State University, noted: "It's much easier to cause cancer in mice than it is in people. So it may be that what you're seeing in mice represents an exaggerated phenomenon of what may occur in people."

Tens of thousands of dogs have been chipped, she said, and veterinary pathologists haven't reported outbreaks of related sarcomas in the area of the neck, where canine implants are often done. (Published reports detailing malignant tumors in two chipped dogs turned up in AP's four-month examination of research on chips and health. In one dog, the researchers said cancer appeared linked to the presence of the embedded chip; in the other, the cancer's cause was uncertain.)

Nonetheless, London saw a need for a 20-year study of chipped canines "to see if you have a biological effect." Dr. Chand Khanna, a veterinary oncologist at the National Cancer Institute, also backed such a study, saying current evidence "does suggest some reason to be concerned about tumor formations."

Meanwhile, the animal study findings should be disclosed to anyone considering a chip implant in pets or humans, the cancer specialists agreed.

To date, however, that hasn't happened.
