Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] AKC - Alabama Bill Authorizing Confiscation of Dogs on
“Suspicion” of Harassing Livestock in Committee Tom
Wednesday, March 16, 2022
https://www.akc.org/legislative-alerts/alabama-bill-authorizing-confiscation-dogs-suspicion-harassing-livestock-committee-tomorrow-m-3-17/
Please share this information with dog owners in Alabama.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) has learned that House Bill 485 will be voted on
in the House Agriculture Committee tomorrow morning, March 17, 2022. The
committee meets at 9:15 a.m. It is imperative that Alabama dog owners contact
the committee and urge them to not advance HB 485 as currently worded.
AKC is concerned that HB 485, as introduced, does not adequately protect the
constitutional rights and privileges of dog owners. Among other provisions, HB
438 would allow law enforcement and animal control officers to initiate an
investigation and confiscate a dog if the dog “has been suspected of harassing,
harming, or killing livestock” while not on the premises of the owner. This
empowers an enforcement official to unilaterally confiscate an animal without
court authorization.
Further, the bill would make it a criminal offense for the owner of a dog that
is the subject of an investigation to refuse to surrender the dog “upon
request,” and significantly increases a dog owner’s liability for damages to
livestock caused by the dog.
While AKC agrees that owners should not allow their dogs to be at-large, we
strongly believe that dog owners must be afforded substantive and procedural
due process protections.
What you can do:
Alabama dog owners: Immediately contact members of the House Agriculture
Committee and respectfully request “please do not advance HB 438 unless it is
amended to protect the due process rights of dog owners.” Voice mail boxes at
the capitol for some legislators are full, so sending emails this evening may
be more effective.
