Hello everybody.

With this bad economy we are having many back yard breeders trying to make a buck and they could care less compared to the ones who have a more reputable process. In Ontario over 33 dogs got seized in mid April by the Inland Valley Humane Society. Sadly it costs money and sometimes lives of the existing animals that reside in the facilities due to the lack of space in the crowded facilities.

I would like to figure out ways to reduce hoarding and backyard breeding in the
puppy mill variety. My idea is to seize the property such as the home and or the vehicles to help cover the costs of taking care of these animals. I would like to see municipalities and counties to use money to build a crisis center to make sure they can have surplus space to take care of these poor creatures that got abused by fate. It would be great if we had a satellite office to hold
75-100 dogs and 40 cats in cases such as this. Seizing property to recover costs would be one way to do this.

I think putting liens and or seizing property would be a high deterrent to make
sure people are handling animals in a responsible matter.

Hello everybody.

Hi,

With this bad economy we are having many back yard breeders trying
to make a buck and they could care less compared to the ones who
have a more reputable process. In Ontario over 33 dogs got seized
in mid April by the Inland Valley Humane Society. Sadly it costs
money and sometimes lives of the existing animals that reside in
the facilities due to the lack of space in the crowded facilities.

That is sad, but with the economy the way it is, people are going to do things they normally wouldn't even think of. They learn on the Internet about people starting businesses in their garages and becomning millionaires and they want a
piece of the action. Trouble is, they lack management skills and ideas.

I would like to figure out ways to reduce hoarding and backyard
breeding in the puppy mill variety. My idea is to seize the
property such as the home and or the vehicles to help cover the
costs of taking care of these animals.

Not a good idea and untenable.

That's more government and we have too much of it now.

Let the buyer beware. You can't protect everyone from their own stupidity and lack of common sense. P.T. Barnum was right, you know, but your points are well taken. I just don't think they're workable.

Just my .02 cents.

They do this with drug lords and meth labs.

Yeah, but without regulation people would be poluting rivers with uranium.

Agreed. I just dont want to see people exploiting unwanted animals for personal gain.

That's different.

The death penalty was supposed to stop murderers, but didn't. Most people don't realize it's the cold heart that kills.

Hey, I'm with you on that and maybe I don't fully understand the situation you face up there. We haven't experienced it here (yet).
