You said "There are cases, documented, of AC personnel making their own laws, taking the property (animals) without due process and denying legitimate animal owners of their property (animals)" And where would I find these cases that are documented? The ones you speak of. Thanks, Colleen Donnelly Hunde Haus ~ My Blog! We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

(Remember, I will NOT say that the shelters/rescues are putting them out for adoption anymore... new language and i know that it isn't popular... but as rescues/shelters <SOME of them> use the money to help pay for the organization, so do breeders sell to keep breeding) Anyway, point is, that there are now documented cases of AC centers confiscating dogs, healthy pups and dogs, and immediately selling them out. There are cases, documented, of AC personnel making their own laws, taking the property (animals) without due process and denying legitimate animal owners of their property (animals) It's late.... I need t go to bed. :-) Stormy On Jan 3, 2009, at 8:42:40 PM, cleary1414@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: It was reported in the Mansfield News Journal... there is a link to the news story in the post from John. This sort of thing happens all across the company... AC officers/dog wardens deciding to enforce laws that don't exist.
