Cross post far and wide!
The following post appeared on We the People list today:
I have been chatting on one of my breed group lists about these
legislative nightmares and just had some scary feedback from Palm Beach FL.
Palm Beach county is now hiring deputized volunteers. They call the
volunteers s the Citizens Pet Patrol. These volunteers will act as
puppy buyers, call on ads, call clubs for referrals, roam the
neighborhoods, and yes, even dog shows. If they find anything they "THINK"
might be
wrong or against their agenda, they will run to get a warrant to enter your
home. The hobby breeders who have a permit from the county have already
given
implied consent to these people to enter their homes by signing the permit.
Here is some language directly off the volunteer application:
*You must have a car and be able to volunteer 4 hours a day two days
a week.
*Responsibilities involve setting up educational booths at pet supply
stores, special events in the county (dog shows, perhaps?) and
schools.
Additional roles include patrolling known problem areas for non-
compliant issues and report findings to AC.
The volunteers are said to be mostly AR's who apparently have
nothing better to do.
My breeder friends are terrified and feel they can no longer allow
potential puppy buyers to come to their homes to visit the puppies.
