My tax dollars don’t need to pay for picking up dumped animals that come out of a for profit business.

TAXPAYERS pay for this. Breed less, charge more and stop asking for handouts pooor pooor ‘victim’ breeders.

Why should tulare county pay for spay neuter rehoming and rescuing dumped pets bc breeders flood the market?

After the rules take effect puppy prices will rise and responsible breeders will be rewarded.

What we have now is unworkable.
The changes are a great step.

That breeder wouldn’t have a problem if he didn’t create problems for himself and others. In his case it is self inflicted.

All he has to do of stop abusing and neglecting animals.

Spoken like a true Radical Animal Rights THUG. Yes, I’ve seen this bullying go on for years in many cases throughout the Country. The AC and vets have been to his home on multiple occasions, unannounced and have found that his dogs have their needs met. This ordinance has NOTHING to with “overpopulation” or care standards but EVERYTHING to do with putting a breeder out of business. Shame on the elected officials to be emotionally manipulated by the the activists and their lies and bullying. If the actual “experts” have been to his home and visited the kennels and did not find cause to “seize” his animals, why do you guys keep trying to get laws passed to get him shut down? Oh, that’s right, you’re pushing the Radical Animal Rights Agenda of NO breeders/NO pets. Why don’t you all work on rounding up the hundreds of stray dogs running loose throughout the farmlands, spay and neuter them all since they are ones that are producing the 2000 puppies that come to the shelter FIRST before blaming breeders for all your problems!

I’ve read what others have said and feel they are just pushing an agenda. I saw a photo of “sick” puppies, but I also saw another photo of the same puppies in the same position that looked just fine. Eyes clear and bright, clean, brushed fur, short nails on other puppies. But the “sick” puppies photo was shown with two of the puppies in mid blink, so their eyes were half shut. Yeah, that might cause them to look sick, but it was just a moment of a blink. That’s why I NEVER trust photographs! They can and usually are staged, doctored, taken out of context or not even from the source. These are all tactics used by the radical animal rights advocates to get lawmakers and the public on their side.

Big picture is this will do NOTHING to combat the stray dogs running at large and procreating at will in Tulare Co. MSN (Mandatory Spay Neuter) has been proven time and again NOT to work.

Plain and simple this is not only an attempt to shut down a breeder that is low hanging fruit because of his high profile in the county, but also a way for the radical animal rights groups to push their agenda to end all breeding.
