This is a very bad bill, and not just for animal lovers. It is bad for
anyone who believes in one's constitutional rights. This bill has more
than doubled in size in the last two months, I think. I have heard that
it no longer will be illegal to spin or weave shed or groomed pet hair,
just that of fur. Microchips, if registered, will keep your dog from
being euthanized or adopted out. However, they can still come into your
house and yard if they suspect that your dog is not wearing a tag or
your bitch is in season and unattended because you went to the store or
to take your child to the doctor, even if the bitch is inside a secure
place.
ANYONE can avoid having a search warrant if they "believe" that the
premises are the scene of possible animal cruelty--maybe if you don't
even own a pet, they could "believe" that you have debarked animals in
cruel conditions and be exempt from prosecution for slander and libel.
It gives the Animal Control Officer and the NJ SPCA more power than the
police force and the judicial system rolled into one.
This is un American even if one doesn't like animals. It is a steep and
slippery slope.
