Let’s face facts people, H$U$ is nothing but a sham.  No one can figure out their complicated financial set up.  Apparently no one cares since they don’t pay taxes.  But they likely should pay, since most of their funds are spent not on saving animals, but recommending methods that KILL MORE ANIMALS , especially shelter animals.   They don’t tell the truth, will never tell the truth, and want to fleece the average animal owner out of their hard earned $$$$$. No reputable group of any type takes in $34 MILLION bucks during a Katrina Hurricane and then can account for only $7 million.  FRAUD.

NEW: Shirts To Benefit 2 Legal Cases in GA and WA

Petdefense has approved that the profit proceeds for these shirts will go to 2 legal cases in the USA, the Joe Woodall case in Georgia, and the Kris Finch case in WA.  Both cases involve questionable tactics used to obtain warrants and seizure, and although Woodall’s dogs were returned (much later than court order) the Finch dogs are being held hostage by AR rescue and their attorney who is claiming their lien takes precedence. That is debatable but nonetheless this type of out-of-control nonsense needs to be curtailed.

ALDF Worried re Louisville Fed Ct Decision?

Join the Crusade Against HSUS+Anti-Pet Laws,Please Help,Pass It Forward

Animal Legal Defense Fund (H$U$ cohort) in October 2009, claimed that this case (Louisville decision) did not need to cause animal rights any *WORRY*… we say “worry” because the article is entitled “Calm Down Everybody!” …….   http://www.aldf.org/article.php?id=1086

It remains to be seen if other cases challenging the methods of search/seizure are brought forward to different courts. We believe that AR groups such as H$U$ and even ASPCA take it upon themselves to act as the police, and in so doing, are acting in complicity with local enforcement.  Then H$U$ and ASPCA go away to find other victims,  and animals and a trail of wreckage is left behind…..

THE LOUISVILLE METRO ANIMAL CONTROL WITH HSUS ”HELP”: 

Results from the past………shows that the ordinance in question, currently in Federal Court due to constitutional law challenges, clearly shows FAILURE:

Dog Bites  from Louisville Metro Animal Services

2005: (partial year)  259

2006:  478

2007: 582

2008:  837

HSUS “worked” and claimed to “help” Louisville, KY on this ordinance, yet it is one of the most horrific, punitive, nonsensical ordinances EVER devised.

In October 2009, the Federal Court ordered that the Louisville Ordinance in one section, violated due process, where no option was given to owner upon seizure of animal, if owner could not post a bond, and owner was later found innocent. In other words, the animal was forfeited. In another section, the Court declared that no rational basis was found between intact v sterilized dogs in regard to the housing of such intact dogs, and the Court also figured the language was surplusage, and not related to the section it was located in. Therefore the intact dogs did not require an inspection of the enclosure just because it was for INTACT dogs.  

Quite frankly, the case has caused ARs some worry because most cases never go to court, and although only 2 provisions were proven NOT to be constitutional, the ARs are not USED to this happening.

And clearly, Louisville  has NOT done a whole lot of saving of animals (which is typical of animal rights laws) since these laws are only designed to do one thing— create less dogs for sale.  These crappy animal rights laws never save shelter animals, and they (the animal rights factions) KNOW it.  Yet they keep pushing it, because they don’t care.  A real shame for welfarists, because HSUS keeps pretending it is animal welfare!

Also, a total of 3 people killed during this time. The spay/neuter, search/seizure and all the carzy HSUS inspired snooping, snitching, and puppy stings have not helped. The Louisville Courier Journal in January 2009, had an artile about attempts by animal control, 2 years into the ordinance, to “crack down” on those allegedly breeding and owning without proper license. AC people would look for ads, pretend they wanted to buy a dog, and then SWAT team the owners and animals and seize them all. A major flaw in the ordinance does not define the dogs as to age, so since the only other definition is puppy (under 4 months) then dog must be over 4 months. Therefore animal control seizing a puppy is illegal if they are using the ordinance about who can sell a dog/what license.  Of course there is more to it but that’s a big part.

Louisville Metro animal Killing:

2005  Intake 11,962 Killed 7,683

2006                 14,178              9,340

2007                 15,206             10,138

2008                  15,920             9,388

Pretty much this amounts to a kill rate of 64%,65%,67% and 59%, averaged out to 64% over the time span. But they already HAD a 64% kill rate in 2005.  Not much of a change or help to us.

And….let’s not forget HSUS the law enforcement agency at the end……

“As a complement to a new ordinance, the HSUS would be pleased to send specialists to Louisville to train law enforcement officials in investigating and prosecuting dog fighters.  Increased enforcement of the state’s felony prohibition on dog fighting would advance any effort to reign in problematic individuals who use dogs in illegal and harmful ways.” 

Signed, Pam Rogers, Kentucky Legislative Coordinator, HSUS  291 N. Hubbards Ln #280,  Louisville KY  40207  502.893.9796

——————————————————————————————–

OH YES, HSUS has convicted felon employee(s) that can teach your police department a thing or two!!

——————————————————————————————–

So what does that mean!? If you own a certain breed of dog you must be problematic?  Well that’s the drift we got out of Lancaster CA isn’t it? The mayor or whoever said point blank, he hates gangs and whatever it is they like. If they like rotties and pitbulls then he hates those dogs.

This is how HSUS wrangles their way into conducting and helping set up dog raids, the killing of dogs, and the forfeiture of property.  They sweet talk their way into different jurisdictions, by pretending they really really want to “help”………but what they really want to do is to implement/set up HSUS standards based upon animal rights. And (like the song says)  THIS IS HOW WE DO IT.

HSUS is NOT, repeat, NOT an authority on canines, nor are they an authority on any certain type of dogs. They are not experts on dog fighting, or in conducting dog fighting trials.  They are not experts certified for search/seizure, and they don’t have law enforcement backgrounds. 

 What HSUS is, is a clever group that USES other agencies, uses other people’s money in the form of  *$donations$*, and bamboozles the public to set about their hidden agenda of no animals to be owned or used in any form, or way, period.   But of course, they don’t come out and say it.

 HSUS is NOT a governmental agency, HSUS is not a quasi-law enforcement agency.  HSUS is supposed to be a “non-profit” that saves animals.  Well I guess if you believed that, in relation to “pets ” in the USA you need to do your homework.  HSUS simply targets  pitbulls and commercial dog sources  SO THEY CAN GET NOTORIETY AND MORE DONATIONS,  BY CREATING EMOTIONAL RESPONSES FROM THE PUBLIC.

 Here are “Some” of the statements in HSUS’  letter to Louisville;  none of them is corroborated by any authority or proof, and in fact most of them are not actually true if you had to break them down to debate.  [PD comments in brackets]

” give animal control the authority and financing to ID/regulate dangerous dogs”  [dangerous dogs are usually the product of a low economic area with higher crime and more regulations don't make dangerous dogs less dangerous]

“breeders who so recklessly add to dog overpopulation” [first it assumes actual overpopulation,then it assumes breeders actually did it, and not just errant owners who are not careful; then it assumes that the dogs that the "breeders" they are talking about, must have bred the actual dogs/or cats that they are talking about. Up to 70% of killed cats are feral cats, meaning wild. The majority of non sold shelter dogs are usually ADULT or juvenile males of mixed breed, med-large size,origins unknown, which were acquired at little to no cost  of $0.00-$100. HARDLY the product of purposeful breeding.]

“TRULY responsible owners ALREADY have their animals STERILIZED”  [truly responsible owners don't necessarily have anything to do with sterilized dogs; almost all show dogs are intact dogs/so are police trained dogs]

“”restricting the hours dogs can be tethered can negatively impact dog fighters who keep dozens of dogs chained”  [clearly HSUS is only concerned about dogfighters and not the dogs themselves since when HSUS conducts dog raids, they KILL ALL the dogs, even when the owners are not guilty, and are not convicted]

“HSUS always encourages owners to keep dogs indoors“  [HSUS believes if you leave an animal outside you are abusing it, that's why they want horrendously expensive and unnecessary regulations on the "shelter" so you cannot afford it]

“regulations with specific requirements for outdoor dog shelters ensure the safety of dogs outdoors”  [A shelter does not ensure the safety of a dog; dogs have lived outside for thousands of years]

“pet auctions are irresponsible and unethical, and adds animals of questionable health and temperament to pet overpopulation”  [HSUS says this only because commercial kennels use auctions to sell their non breeding stock]  “pet overpopulation is a problem everywhere” [that is basically an untrue statement; HSUS even admits that the word "overpopulation" does not have the same meaning nor significance as it did 20 years ago, due to the reduction in the numbers killed in shelters, nationwide]

“pediatric surgeries are perfectly safe” [ HSUS ignores a huge amount of evidence from scientific community that says otherwise ]

“differential licensing is fair because breeders make money adding to the pet population”  [HSUS doesn't disclose that the breeders that might add to the population may be producing well tempered, expensive animals that never end up in shelters and thus, could not be contributing to shelter numbers; studies have already shown that the substantial majority of shelter animals are mixed breed med-large male juveniles of unknown origin. Hardly something one would do for money because no one would buy it.]

“require breeders to list their license number in ads, making it easier to ID for ACO”  [HSUS encourages snitches and clandestine operations like raids, and forfeiture; therefore, making it easier to pop people is their game--not saving animals, but arresting people]

“it is not clear whether “these” people are motivated by FINANCIAL GAIN or simply set in their ways…they may benefit from nixing certain points, but the rest of the community would not”  [If anyone should be accused of financial motivation, it's H$U$, which worships animals and money]

Who is Worse: Fanciers or The Dark Side H$U$?

http://www.gamefowlnews.com/archives/2009/10202009.html

We give credit where due. If anyone has the balls to say it like it is, then this takes the cake.  We already know most fanciers would cringe, but let’s be realistic, shall we SPORT?  Fanciers that never want pets sold in any store are helping the tide turn against themselves.

Because it is NOT  whether  pets are sold in stores, it’s that they can be SOLD at all. 

AB1122 recently veto’ed in CA by Governor, proves just that.  Animal could NOT be sold outside, but if humane society did it, it WOULD NOT BE ANIMAL ABUSE, yet if you did it as an individual, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANIMAL ABUSE.  

And MOST fanciers could have cared less about that dreadful, illegal LAW because they THINK it “meant” that they would not be affected?  HAH!!

How foolish!!  That stupid bill was just a stepping stone to the next law that takes away the selling of pets by placing horrid, untenable restrictions on every single facet of every possible SALE of every single animal.  Yet fanciers (most, but not all)— are not smart enough to understand this.  Instead, they worry more about running in that circle to get champion points. 

Well honey, that circle won’t be around for long if you can’t own, buy, breed or sell an animal. 

And as for the Dark Side  H$U$…………………

You don’t go from Katrina (missing all that money) to pushing AR laws in 35 states overnight without ALL THAT $$$$$$$$$. 

You don’t get a President elected, with a Regulatory Czar/AR Singer as well, without connections.  You don’t have a President hiring a Communist as his own personal Ecology Environmentalist [not Sunstein, another guy] without an agenda.

If you take the H$U$ agenda and merge it with Omybama, you have a BIG problem.

 And if you just go to the end of the above linked  article, you will see the imminent problem for CA.  You think CA has problems now? 

Wait until the Farm Prop 2 that HSUS so cleverly passed on the stupid people of this state— is implemented.   You will be seeing financial ruin for agriculture, costs that cannot be met, businesess that will be exiting the STATE.  Dot com bust, space bust, business bust, now it will be farming bust, and agriculture will not be CA’s pride and joy.  Instead we will be regulated by H$U$ companies that are not even known by name.

Why do YOU THINK H$U$ wants to ELIMINATE the Dept. of Agriculture????  DUH?  Because for starters–it’s one of the 12 Steps of the Animal Rights Plan. Divvied up by Merritt Clifton’s wife no less, in the late 1980’s.

If you think this is too far fetched, then you must watch too much Reality TV,  because Reality TV is all conceived and put out there by Hollywood. And Peta and HSUS have Hollywood wrapped up.  It is politically CORRECT to support PETA and HSUS in Southern California. 

That is why the AR movement is strong down there, where they don’t have any brains.  Plastic surgery took the place of brains.  The Animal Rights 12 Step Plan took the place of any rational thinking.  Brainwashing and Scientology have taken the place of education. 

Here is the AR Xmas Song:

Kill, kill, kill,

Kill, kill, kill, killing all the way, Oh what fun it is to fool

When Idiots can be Swayed………ed………………….  or how about………………

[Think Bee Gees, Travolta]

You Can Tell By the Way I Bought Adopted  Stole  Seized  My Dog

It’s Sterilized, it’s Sterilized!!

We might search, and we might Seize, to Sterilize! To Sterilize!

Too many pets that NEED to go, let’s Sterilize! Let’s Sterilize!

You don’t have to understand

To know that 12 Step is our PLAN– Sterliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzze………….[fade]

 

GOOD NEWS FOR ANIMAL OWNERS

Some good news, in addition to  the 3 biggest Animal Rights laws hitting the DUST in California!!

The CA legislature is definitely broken. But thanks to the avalanche of opposition from many groups and people, the Governor did finally VETO all three of the bills that we considered to be the worst. SB250 still remains for next session but it too will likely hit a snag.

The United States Court of Appeals, 3rd Circuit, UNANIMOUSLY found that the Animal Enterprise Protection Act (AEPA) was used appropriately against the SHAC 7 defendants.  AETA 09 SHAC   SHAC 7 defendants got combined total jail time of 24 years.

Then we have the Boudreaux case out of Louisiana, which had resulted in acquittal on any dogfighting charges, and where every dog was killed almost immediately by the Lousiana SPCA (no doubt working under guidance by HSUS, which helped draft the awful anti cruelty laws there), which deems all dogs “alleged” of fighting to be killed immediately…..

Thanks to HSUS helping to drag the Boudreaux case out for 4 years, where the HSUS so-called expert was not even deemed an expert,  it was unlikely that a claim could be filed in Federal court, but the attorney has NOW filed a case in Louisiana District (State) Court. 

http://www.theadvertiser.com/article/20091015/NEWS01/910150325/Pit-bull-breeders-sue-SPCA

Two Youngsville men acquitted in 2008 of dogfighting charges are suing the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for euthanizing their pit bulls

Scott attorney Richard Dalton filed the lawsuit in 15th Judicial District Court on Wednesday on behalf of father and son Floyd Boudreaux and Guy Boudreaux.  

Also, on the issues of illegal search/seizure:  In the case in WA state, the Finch family got an order to have dogs in an outbuilding kennel all returned by the court, which ruled that the warrant used was stale. A video that was a year old was used as a foundation for probable cause. That warrant was void, but the rescue who took possession of the dogs has refused to return them, under the guidance of AR attorney A. Karp, who claims they have a lien on the animals.

It is believed that this case may have extremely important precedent in regard to seizure/forfeiture. Petdefense may be working on the case depending on how much help is needed.

For about 100 years, the Boudreaux family bred American pit bull terriers, creating an internationally known breed called the Eli bloodline and the Boudreaux bloodline, Dalton said.

On March 11, 2005, the men were arrested and 57 dogs were seized from their Youngsville home after a Louisiana State Police investigation into alleged dogfighting.

They stood trial in October 2008 and were acquitted of all charges.

According to state law, upon acquittal, all items confiscated from the Boudreauxs should be returned to them, Dalton said.

“But all the dogs are dead,” he said. “There’s no more Boudreaux/Eli breed. The mom and pop direct descendants that would not have been sold are dead. That’s 100 years of breeding that’s gone.”

According to Louisiana Revised Statute 14:102.6, the law enforcement officer making the arrest can lawfully take possession of suspected fighting dogs and “cause them to be humanely euthanized as soon as possible by a licensed veterinarian or a qualified technician.”

But the law further allows the owners to post a bond with the court “within 15 days after receiving notice of such seizure…”

The Boudreauxs were arrested on a Friday, Dalton said. They were in jail until Monday and were unable to post a bond on their dogs until then.

By then, the dogs were dead, euthanized by the SPCA with 24 hours of being seized in the police raid, he said.

In testimony during their trial, Trooper Jacob Dickinson, a state police investigator who headed the case, said the SPCA gave investigators no prior notice before euthanizing the dogs.

The Boudreauxs maintain that they bred the pit bulls as pets and show dogs, not for fighting. Family pets, including a champion pit bull owned by a grandson and a pregnant dog, were seized and euthanized, Dalton said.

SPCA CEO Ana Zorrilla could not be reached for comment.

AND………………………Nathan Winograd speaks out re H$U$ and VICK:

Wayne pacelle is coming to town

October 16, 7:03 AMSF Animal Shelters ExaminerNathan Winograd

 

HSUS Spokesman Michael Vick is the most notorious animal abuser
of our time. HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle is coming to San Francisco
to champion Vick and to defend his decision to oppose shelter reform
legislation to save the City’s neediest homeless animals being killed
in local shelters.

 Humane Society of the United States embraces the most notorious animal abuser of our time and fights a proposal to save San Francisco’s neediest animals, the head of HSUS is coming to the City to raise money for his Washington D.C.-based group.

Unfortunately, Pacelle has long been an apologist and enabler of shelter killing.

In the end, the real reason behind the “Town Hall meeting” might just have nothing to do with animals. This “town hall” format is often little more than a fundraising ploy which has been successfully used by other organizations to sap money from local donors and thus away from local rescue groups, and into the bank accounts of national organizations. And for HSUS, money doesn’t appear to be a means to the end of saving animals. It is the end in and of itself, the animals be damned.

The controversial head of the nation’s largest and wealthiest animal protection organization in the United States is coming to San Francisco for an October 28 “Town Hall” meeting. Wayne Pacelle, the CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, will discuss, among other things, his new spokesman: dog-killer Michael Vick, the most notorious animal abuser of our time.

Can anyone imagine the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence embracing wife killer O.J. Simpson as a spokesman? Can anyone imagine the National Organization to Prevent Sexual Abuse of Children embracing pedophile John Geoghan as a spokesman? Can anyone imagine the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network embracing rapist Josef Fritzl as a spokesman? It is unthinkable. And yet Wayne Pacelle is asking animal lovers in San Francisco to embrace our movement’s version of Simpson, Geoghan, and Fritzl as a spokesman. It is beyond obscene. It is unthinkable.

Pacelle says he will answer questions from San Francisco animal lovers about this and other topics.

I have a number of other questions for Pacelle. Why did he, through HSUS:

1. Participate in the slaughter of some 150 dogs, including puppies, in Wilkes County, NC?
2. Lobby to stop No Kill legislation in King County, WA?
3. Support breed discriminatory legislation in Indianapolis, IN that would have led to the round up and killing of Pit Bulls?
4. Tell USA Today and Newsweek that killing in shelters is acceptable and that No Kill was warehousing?
5. Mislead the public about an epidemic of dog bites to convey the view that trying to save Pit Bulls was irresponsible and put children at risk?
6. Tell the court to kill Vick’s victims even as he was asking people to give HSUS money so he could “care” for them?
7. Leave New Orleans with tens of millions given to HSUS for the victims of Hurricane Katrina even while those animals were still suffering?
8. Legitimize the slaughter of virtually every animal at Tangipahoa Parish animal control?
9. Tell people not to adopt animals during the holidays, effectively accepting the deaths of 1,000,000 animals as the alternative?
10. Tell the Randolph, IA community that HSUS does not have a problem killing stray cats?
11. Claim that rescued dogs in Missouri should face a “pretty certain death”?

And especially important for San Francisco animal lovers, why is he opposing a No Kill San Francisco? Pacelle recently sent a letter to San Francisco’s Animal Control & Welfare Commission equating No Kill with hoarding and opposing shelter reform legislation that would save San Francisco’s neediest homeless animals.

3 BIG AR LAWS VETO’ed BY GOV. ARNOLD Hurrah!

Join the Crusade v H$U$ Anti-Pet Laws!! And Pass it Forward!!

The Governor of CA has finally vetoed 3 of the worst ANIMAL RIGHTS BILLS  in the history of California !!!!!

HSUS and friends drafted them.

The rather pathetic CA legislature passed all 3 of these awful bills. Tons of opposition was noted to make the record, but the legislature ignored everyone and kept passing the bad laws.  We wonder how any attorneys could possibly believe that these laws were either legal, affordable, or even reasonable.  Petdefense goes over some of the flaws of all 3 of the laws below.

See example below, of how HSUS fails to disclose what the laws were REALLY saying, by leaving out the law and just pushing one sentence (which was not accurate at all; typical of HSUS)  See what PetPAC said: http://petpac.net/news/releases/the_governor_vetoes_bills/

Without READING the actual drafted law, it is impossible to understand how BAD the laws really are.  Most people do not read the bills drafted by AR groups.

AB241, AB243, and AB1122 were all—Praise God—vetoed by Governor!!

AB1122 is in last paragraph, but has widespread precedent if  ever passed.  This bill as written must NEVER, NEVER— pass.  NOT in any form.  Not in any year.  To allow it to pass might as well signal the end of buying/selling animals, but few realize it.  That is the animal Rights method, to sneak such a law before the government, and then methodically use it to stop sales of animals.  If you cannot understand this, don’t be surprised. Even some attorneys were not aware, but definitely, AB1122 was one of the most UNconstitutional  in the group.

YET—look at what Whiney Wayne (AR HSUS) —- had to say about these 3 bills (in quotes)

Vetoed by the governor:

“AB241  (Limits number of intact animals a person can maintain.)”  Notice the fact that the law specifically included prosecuting even an attorney [that would help defend owner against the law]— that was punishable IN THE drafted LAW!!!!  This is NEVER mentioned.   Notice that nothing is mentioned about why 50 is *not* arbitrary— it is completely arbitrary !   Notice that nothing is mentioned about how much it costs, who would/could do it, and what unintended consequences might result?  CA is practically bankrupt, state workers have a mandatory 3 day loss of income EVERY MONTH.  Advocate groups must work against all of these proposed bills because HSUS+friends have the $$$ to keep up the charade for years with their deception.

“AB243 (Prohibits a person convicted of animal cruelty from owning an animal.)”   Notice it does not mention anything about the Court/Judge having the current ability to curtail animal ownership already.  Notice it does not mention that this would apply EVEN IF ONE WAS ACQUITTED.  Notice it does not mention that it applies even to search warrants—where there is not necessarily EVEN A CRIMINAL CHARGE MADE!!!

“AB1122 (Prohibits the roadside sale of live animals.)”  Notice Whiney did not mention that “selling” is outlawed for anyone who is not a “non” profit animal group.  Notice that it does not mention that rescue selling, individuals selling, and retail selling is ALL INTERSTATE COMMERCE. 

Notice how it blatantly IGNORES the fact that the SELLING is penalized by location, NOT by abusive conduct.  Which means if one was outside and legally placing homeless pets by a volunteer cat group at a Lexus sponsored dealtership, THAT would be illegal. 

Notice how it only says “roadside” when in fact, the drafted law eliminated all sales outside, all public land, all public grounds, easements, parking lots of any type, and far, far more (park, sidewalks, driveways, etc)  Notice it does not mention that the so called exemption for dog shows outlawed anything outside the show ring buildings. That every single state, federal and local animal law of THAT show jurisdiction must be perfectly adhered to (meaning every dog wears collars/tags and far more) which was not only unreasonable, it amounted to a defacto default of the exemption, if only one person was not in 100% compliance.  This is what HSUS does………they draft bad laws on purpose and hope no one notices just HOW BAD THEY REALLY ARE, FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT.

====================================================================  

The Truth About Bad Anti-Pet Laws:

AB243 was drafted to change the California Penal Code and would have done some substantial damage to our rights as owners.

243 attempted to say that forfeiture of all animals could take place even after ACQUITTAL, and placed 5 and 10 year “non” ownership or “non” contact with any animals— outside of what the Judge had already done via sentencing.

Clearly this was an attempt to start the decimation and elimination of farms statewide, by seizing  farms after accusing owners of “abuse.”  Next year it is anticipated the bill will return with modifications, but still aimed at farms, even if that is not stated clearly in the bill.    H$U$ plans to use “abuse” laws, and forfeiture laws on any farmers that do not follow Prop 2, which was the H$U$ law passed re chickens and having room to spread their wings. This was simply a lead-in bill to start the process. [We have seen far too many HSUS laws do exactly that]

The truth is that HSUS is NOT about animals “having room” to move, but is instead, a method of making owning, raising, and producing/bringing products to MARKET— a nightmare. HSUS wants to/intends to try and do the regulating of such farm products down the line.  It doesn’t take rocket science to figure that out.

AB241 was drafted to state that intact breeding stock must be limited to the arbitrary number of 50 maximum,  with full knowledge that H$U$ intended to return to modify the number downward. 

 The arbitrary number chosen by H$U$+Friends for any kennels included the kennels that were used by professional handlers.  Kennels for guide dogs, service dogs, and any other type of therapy or other trained dogs, were not exempted. 

 Of course it is expected that H$U$ will come back with such exemptions next year.  It is also suspected that H$U$ will move to regulate “rescues” by forcing them to obtain permits and kennel licensing, which is cost prohibitive in CA due to permit fees [non refundable], septic systems, blueprints, HVAC concerns, engineering costs, and inspection ongoing fees.  Currently, limit laws make it difficult to use foster families as it is. Forcing permits and kennel licensing will undoubtedly send tons more animals to their deaths.

It is also believed H$U$ will attempt to try and pass state laws concerning how many kennels, and where such kennels can be located; how many animals can be kenneled, and even how many animals can be sold. Further, H$U$ may try to stop the sale of animals in any store or retail operation at all, as was started in South Lake Tahoe.

 HSUS may also claim that no out of state animals can be purchased for sale in the state, that all animals for sale must be “re-homed” animals, and that no animals sold shall be over price XX.XX……… None of those things are beyond the HSUS reach, since HSUS holds the pursestrings to an apparently unlimited amount of advertising dollar.

By regulating the animals that come into the state, and those that go out, by eliminating animals sold online (which all diehard animal rights want to stop)— this would be treading on interstate commerce on a widespread basis.  Petdefense is absolutely certain that interstate commerce is what HSUS is trying to stop, since buying/selling of animals constitutes interstate commerce.

AB1122 was purposely drafted to CRIMINALIZE, under the CA state Penal Code, the selling, displaying or offering  of an animal at an outside or public location, including any parking lot.  However, the law  penalized the selling by the LOCATION, NOT by any actual conduct OF animal abuse…. Therefore, legal conduct (selling) was make illegal (into animal “abuse”)  simply by saying that a group (which wasn’t a “non profit) was committing animal abuse by “offering, displaying” for sale, ANY animal, at an outside location…BUT if the seller was a “non” profit, THEN the seller was NOT guilty of “animal abuse.”  The clear problem is that the conduct TARGETED was SELLING, NOT actual abuse of any kind.  

  Only certain exemption were given, to non profits and limited other exempted groups.  However, the exemptions were specious and unreasonable, making them in practical terms, worthless. 

Had this bill passed Governor’s desk, the selling of animals would be criminalized in the law.   The next step by HSUS would have been to expand the NO “selling” to retail stores, online, non-kennels, non-owners, non “in possession” owners, and a host of other scenarios.

For example, if you did not have the licensing, the paperwork, the “sterilized” documents, the vet records, the pedigree, the training certificate——lack of all of those things could trigger a law which prohibited one from selling the dog, cat, bird, etc.  That is not farfetched at all.  HSUS makes up as many laws as they can, and will try anything if they think the legislature is stupid enough to pass it.

Apparently the CA legislature is not very bright.
