Animal Services gets aggressive on illicit breeding, sales

Unlicensed pet breeders, take note -- your next customer could be an undercover 
animal-control officer.



Determined to crack down on unlicensed breeding and selling, Metro Animal 
Services officers are poring over newspaper and online pet ads, then calling 
unlicensed breeders to set up sales.

The more aggressive enforcement tactics, put in place after the city passed a 
stricter animal ordinance more than a year ago, have resulted in Animal 
Services officers busting about a dozen illegal pet sellers -- confiscating 123 
animals and spaying or neutering those that haven't been altered.

And for Colleen: 

Robert DuVall and his fiancee, Ashley Harrod, posed with their dogs Jordan, 
left, and Cassius. DuVall, who was caught in a Metro Animal Services sting, 
said he had to pay about $750 to get his seven dogs back, which included having 
his two adult dogs spayed and neutered without his permission. He contends that 
officers had no search warrant when they took the dogs, which he said is a 
violation of his rights.
