Mêmes excuses au Québec que les inspectrices doivent investiguer une "plainte". Elles ont bien soin de garder la plainte confidentielle (s'il y en a une) pour utiliser n'importe quelle excuse pour leur intervention tout croche et illégale.
Scenario 1- Home fixing dinner when you get a knock on the door. Animal control is investigating a complaint of animal neglect. You are shocked because your animals are like family and you take exceptional care of them. They explain they get calls like this all the time and it isn't a big deal but they do have to investigate.
Okay, so you let them in and you show them your animals.. This is Sparky and he is fifteen years old had him since he was a pup. Moving on to Buddy who is a young cat that is very shy.. then outside to your pen of fat hens - some old, some young. You comment that most don't lay anymore. You have a goat and he is super friendly, Saved him from getting butchered and he just kinda hangs out on the farm. You have two horses, also older - one a hard keeper with cancer. You would never think of sending them to auction or killing them so you have provided a retirement home to the end of their days.
The officer thanks you and you think you are good to go.. you are NOT. You see your dog has tarter on his teeth, your cat isn't socialized and is fearful, your goat had a tad bit of hoof rot, chickens appear to have lice, and those horses... well, one has chipped feet (yes it is summer) and then of course the old one with cancer is thin and the officer doesn't agree with your feeding plan even though a vet gave it to you.

Because the officer isn't a regular deputy they were not required to go through the regular training programs but rather through ones required offered by the HSUS. Most of the training focuses on identifying neglect. Considering many of these groups are animal rights groups it is a bit tainted. Nonetheless, they are the legal enforcing officer who has the absolute power to destroy you.
They have no animal degree and operate on their two day class and feelings. In their opinion you are neglecting your animals. They give you a kind nod and then immediately reach out to the rescue that originally reported you.

Soon a posse of trailers with and an AC with warrant in hand tells you to sit down. You watch your animals hauled out of your home terrified and thrown into small cages without food or water. You are given a citation to appear in court or in some cases arrested. You are in shock.. how could this be. It must be a misunderstanding.
During the seizure they take note of your home and consider it deplorable. Wow, that stings. You may not be the best housekeeper in the world but your house isn't a threat to human or animal. So your laundry is on the couch and a few dishes are in the sink.
It is five in the morning when they come to your door and you just barely got up.. haven't put out food for the animals yet and generally feed at eight. They note there was inadequate water.. yet there was water. Does this mean there wasn't enough for say a week, month, what. You don't understand. They note the water is dirty - but yet it was only just one kibble that had been dropped into it. The horse water is dirty and they take pictures of the brown colored water. Sure it is dirty, the old horse dumps his hay into it before he eats it. It was just changed yesterday.
Now in a panic you reach out to an attorney. Twenty grand up front and most won't touch you wiht a ten foot pole. Your vet has been burned in these cases before when they have had to go up against the AR vet assigned to the case. They are scared they will end up getting into trouble too. Yes, they did say to not worry about the tarter because the procedure to clean the teeth could kill your old dog but dang... we are up against the big boys now.
Your friends will come to your defense - nope, they too want miles away from an animal abuser. Hundreds of people will call for your head, you will get death threats, this process will take everything you love away from you.
Meanwhile your animals are taken in and checked with a fine tooth comb. Is that a flea? Charges increase with each find. Yes your chickens have lice but you treat them regularly.. same with the horses feet as they are trimmed every six weeks. You are up to twenty five counts of neglect. The media has a hay day and the front page picture is that of them hauling your animals out of your home in hazmat suits - really? This is Chernoble. (les habits blancs et les masques ne sont que pour les caméras des médias, nous avons des témoignages)
Maybe a few people will question why your animals all appear to be in great shape but they too will be silenced... you find yourself very alone and isolated.. depression sets in. You put your faith in the justice system to right this wrong...
You soon find that your animals are being cared for at your expense even if you win. (quand le mapaq est allé chercher les chats du refuge de Lachine, la dame a dû admettre en Cour qu'elle n'avait pas les $250 000 qu'on lui demandait et les chats sont partis pour l'abattoir (?)
Give them up now or you could be looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars. You feel forced and it breaks your heart but you do... and then it shows how little you love or care for your animals making you seem even more guilty. In reality you are doing it for your animals because to spend two or three years locked in a kennel is unfathomable. Just release then they say so we can find them good homes. You do. The rescue will then sell your animals while also getting donations and in some cases receive more funds via government contracts. Unfortunately your old animals are unadoptable so they are killed. Can it get worse you ask?
Meanwhile it is near impossible to get any info on your case. You ask for the records on your animals and they don't match up, some are missing. You ask for vet records, rescue information, etc. and don't hold your breath cause it is very likely you will never see them. Your court appointed attorney isn't too keen on representing an animal abuser and would much rather have a child rape case. Pretty soon it becomes clear you are going to lose. Generally at this point you are two years in and have nothing left. You were fired, your church asked you not to come back... your house is in foreclosure.
You find out that this rescue has been doing this before and can prove it was a set up. Then you find out they have immunity. You find out the prosecutor is animal rights funded and he and the judge received training from the same AR groups. You are forced to take a plea to avoid hard jail time. You pay your fines and think it is over..
But as a part of sentencing you will be banned from owning any animals for a good deal of time. Maybe forever. You are now listed on a federal registry. You can't vote or have a gun... you must list you are a felon on all of your employment applications. All of this and yet your true heartbreak is losing your animals and hoping the ones that were not killed are happy.
Folks, this group wasn't formed to protect true criminal neglect. This group was formed to bring light to a very corrupt system where innocent people are being charged with felony animal neglect and having no due process. It is to expose the "follow the money" of rescue and to expose how the animal rights groups have infiltrated and control our legislators, enforcement officers, and courts to reach the ultimate goal of animal abolishment.
I can assure you, there is no animal owner today that is not at risk of what I have laid out above. Farmers and animal breeders are a million more times at risk. If you think for one moment it could never happen to you - think again. It is only a matter of time.before you or someone you love is impacted.
Heck, we are already impacted - breeders forced out, farmers attacked and us shaking in our shoes wondering if it is all worth the risk to own an animal. We live in fear as we should.
Are we not protected in our rights -?? "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person" We all have the right to live in freedom and safety." I am not feeling so secure or free these days... are you?
**** for those who have commented "Don't let them in" please do a quick search on exigent circumstances for animals where a warrant is not required.
