I wanted to read this case decision before I posted it, which I did this morning. This is a VERY nice decision that refers to case law on property, forfeiture before court, warrant-less search and more. The decision was negative for LMAS (Louisville Animal Services) although they were dropped as "not a person," and positive for dog breeders. This is plain language court-speak and the judge has inserted some humor. "Barking up a wrong tree" for example What's your opinion? http://www.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/11a0287p-06.pdf Stormy Hope GSDCA Legislation Liaison ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
