This Trojan horse is entirely transparent and we're being told to pay no attention to the little man behind the clear Plexiglass.

Could it start with something as simple as naming and shaming? Let's say that M. Jones, animal control officer, screws someone over and we report it as such, on a website. Maybe the website would state that any puppy mill raid is to be presumed a criminal terrorist action against an animal owner until it is proven otherwise by due process of law, the due process that they deny animal owners by trickery and duress. We can of course say that it "looks like" they did this. We can phrase the criticisms as questions that the courts should have asked. We can tell the law that they have a public duty and so on.

An animal control officer seems to somehow be off-limits for harsh criticisms and name-calling. As many times as it has been pounded in to millions of heads, these days not very many people realize that it's a fallacy to say that "they were just following orders" which is puzzling considering the Nuremberg precedents.

We also have to stop worrying about what people will think when we criticize people who are allegedly punishing animal abusers.

This all needs to be based on a set of principles. Animals are property. The rights of an animal owner are sacrosanct. Ownership is a service for owners and animals and a public benefit. Breeding is a good thing.

Know your rights. They don't. My blog: www.animalculture.org

Again.. How do we control the mean, misbehaving people who will inevitably find their way to animal control services, just as they do (find their way into) in every other part of society? How do we deal with the disastrous case law already in place, allowing law enforcement to impound whole kennel populations, then running up a boarding bill on the owner? I smell a Trojan horse, here.

Mandatory spay and neuter means pets must grow old and die without replacements. No more babies, no more pets in our homes. Stop it before it's nationwide. Sterile animals cannot replenish themselves. It's the "facts" of life.
