yep what it all boils down to in this day and age is to keep your dogs and livestock in a condition that you would welcome ANYBODY to come and take a look . not only will it keep you out of trouble but makes life a lot easier and less stress full . is my yard that way all the time , NO but I am working on it everyday to make it so . just have to face the fact's that this is the way our world is . don't like it , then get involved with an organization fighting to right the wrongs the animal rights NUTS have placed upon us .
I believe there is a lot of truth to this statement. I don't know what the rules are in each state; I don't even know what the rules are in my own state. I guess I don't really care to know the rules, because I keep my dog kennels and my dogs in good shape. The get cleaned daily, watered daily, and fed daily. You wont see bones on any of my dogs with the exception of some rib bones during the height of hunting season. When you look at my dogs you see more muscle than bone. My yard is clean and dog houses are in good shape. No piles of dog poop. Roofs over the dog kennels and the kennels are in shade. I keep tarps rolled up at the ends of the kennel so that I can unroll them anytime and provide instant shade or block cold wind. I'm not trying to brag, but if an agent wants to look at my kennels or something else, they can have at it. I have a feeling they will look ay my set up and think that there time may be better spend going after someone else.
Another thing is, they don't know about what they cannot see. If you have your business out where everyone can see, maybe you could consider concealing what you have.
