Dean, as someone who has fought BSL for 30 years you are unfortunately right. They seize the dogs and tell you you need to come up with 10's of thousands of dollars to pay for their care while you drag through the court system. It's a horrible no win system.
Yep. Fortunately I have never had to deal with this first hand, I have only discovered others who have taken their grievances and frustrations to the public and taken an interest in them. The ones I've researched all have similar story line. All did nothing wrong and where there were allegations made against the owners, the allegations were easily proven false. The owners reluctantly allowed there dogs to be taken or were taken by force or even without their knowledge. All assumed misunderstanding and assumed they could easily get the dogs back. No arrest or chargers or fines were presented to the owners. Just a confiscation of the dogs from what I can remember in each intense though I might be wrong here in some of the instances.
The guys can do what ever they want, I'm just trying to provide insight as to the intity that the spca is. I don't think they are getting the gist of what I'm trying to describe for they seem to think if we can't do it one way, then we can do not another way. I think the big picture is being overlooked by these guys. Staying off the spca radar is key. You don't want to have to explain nothing in defense of your dogs. They are a marked dog be it legal or not and it can ignite a fire and emotion in them and once that's done, the heartache, regret, and other emotions soon set in.
To many reading this, these stories I refer to are just stories. The message and warning will not affect them or touch them in a way that has much significance. What will though is when a member of this community on here becomes one of them and starts giving us a weekly and frustrated first hand account of the same stories I speak of
