If you even try to deny it friend, I have some ocean front property in Ohio to sell <G>. Why do you assume that people who are over-dogged are the most vocal? I may be over-dogged (at the moment) but I have a great relationship with my AC and my neighbors. I work with them and they work with me. All my dogs are vaccinated and registered. I comply with the laws but also see the benefits of creating a relationship with your local AC. This is being taken away from us. Soon, it will just be numbers, forget a personal relationship. And, I live in L.A. Even when I had a complaint (from a fired caretaker) AC came out, checked my premises and dogs and were satisfied at how my dogs were taken care of. I have had no issues since. I have nothing to hide either. Come see my dogs and look at my records. The thing I disagree with is the MANATORY compliance stuff. I am not doing anything illegal and I should have the right to keep my dogs. I will be vocal for the folks who just want to live in peace with their dogs. If you can handle and deal with the amount of dogs you have, why should the Government say you can't have that many? There are way more important issues to address. Dogs bred for fighting, feral dogs and dangerous dogs. There are laws on the books for that. Why are these States trying to curtail legitimate breeders? Put the effort into the drug dealers and people using those dogs for protection. BTW, we will shoot and kil these dogs in a heartbeat. Pick a side. Do you want to be totally mandated or do you want to have the Freedom (we as U.S. citizens) are entitled to? The choice is yours.
