*WHAT TO DO BEFORE ANIMAL CONTROL KNOCKS – Small breeder*
* *
*1. **Know the laws for your country and state by finding and
downloading the laws for your country and state for the animals you own.*
*2. **Make sure you are in compliance with your laws. Your premises and
dogs are in good order. Ask for help if you need it from family or friends
from time to time if needed for reasons, you may fall behind for example an
illness.*
*3. **Make sure your paperwork is up to date and you keep at least
copies of rabies records and vet records in one spot that is easily reached.
Often hard drives are confiscated. It may be a good idea to make discs and
keep off site with a friend or relative regarding your animal records as a
back up. Consider using a lap top that can be easily moved. When something
is deleted from your computer it can still be seen on the hard drive by a
“forensic computer person”. *
*4. **You need to have an attorney on standby or retainer, especially if
you have been harassed or threatened who is adept in criminal and
constitutional law and preferably who is sympathetic to the loss of rights
of animal owners. It is very difficult to find an attorney who will handle
a case where animal owner’s rights have been violated and even more
difficult to find one after a person has been raided, mainly due to the
emotional stress of the owner.
*5. **Make sure you take photographs of you and your dogs, your kennel
area and how it is set up, with various dogs and working with your dogs.
(Same for all animals) HSUS and other animal rights organizations are
getting more brazen in confiscation of farm animals. (hogs chickens and
ducks, and horses in particular).*
*6. **Remember that the animal rights activist are veterinarians, animal
control workers, and work in USDA as vets and head of animal health in some
states and own private shelters in some cases and have seizing powers. If
animals are seized from your property, chances are that all animals will be
taken and the likelihood of recovery is unlikely, due to the high fees
charged by a shelter or holding agency, for boarding fees, and a bond that
sometimes is required, not counting attorney fees and court fees, even if
found innocent the likelihood that one has the money to get their animals
back is minimal. Often times they have already been spayed or neutered
and/or already sold prior to owners being found guilty or not guilty. I
will remind you that the law is not sympathetic to a so called �animal
abuser� or �hoarder�, or a �puppy mill�. Even though there is no medical
diagnosis for animal hoarder, rather a term �researched� by animal rights
and the term perpetuated by animal rights activist as is �puppy mill�, which
is now the term for anyone owning multiple animals who breeds dogs. Often
on the in**ternet and responses in the newspapers, people whose animals have
been seized, �should burn in hell�! Realize this is a vegan animal rights
social movement and people feel they have found a jest cause and are working
overtime. We have to be ready for the onslaught.*
*7. **Document, document, document, any harassment by animal control,
animal rights activist, phone calls, or unannounced visits by persons
wanting to see your dogs. If your animals are confiscated sit down and
document event as soon as possible while fresh in your memory. Make sure
you get all names as possible and the agency they work for, what was said
and their actions.*
*8. **Make sure those names collected do not have or do have connections
to animal rights activist organizations. We have found HSUS workers and key
activists, now working in key cities in animal control and in USDA in animal
health.*
*9. **Know if your city runs animal control and if connected with an
animal hospital, under the sheriff�s office, aligned with prosecutor�s
office and animal rights organization. These present risky confiscations as
the sheriff, prosecutor, animal control and vets work together for a
confiscation, and not above lying to win a case of animal abuse. The key
phrases used are �overwhelming smell�, �dead animal�, �no food or water for
animal�, �matted coat, standing in feces and urine�, teeth in bad shape, and
�parasite infested, no treatment by veterinarian, and flea infestation� and
“long toenails”. *
*10. **If your city runs animal control and vet hospital and is associated
with an animal rights organization, sheriff�s office, prosecutor�s office,
one may find county minutes that refer to animal control and any problems
they may have in the past. These can be found online under country
government, meeting minutes. They will back each other.*
*11. ** Make sure your kennel area and floor is cleaned at night, most of
the raids will take place in the morning, keep exercise yard picked up of
feces and know the proper disposition according to law regarding feces
disposal. Clean any crates and change bedding in the a.m. and clean all
feeding and water dishes. It is easier to keep up every day. If you fall
behind because of – illness ask for help.*
* If you can afford it hire help for two or three hours a week and if
you can not ask for help from family or friends.*
*12. Anything that can be seen by prospective buyers which many times are
not prospective buyers at all can be reported as abuse. Be careful about
what can be seen if you entertain prospective buyers in your home to see
puppies. Please realize that abuse to some animals is not abuse to others.
Example: Old horse on premises certainly looks abused at the end stage of
life, a few fleas is not abuse, animals are rarely parasite free nor humans
for that matter. If your adults have a tendency to mat, cut them down into
a cute cut. Long toenails is not abuse but curling could be seen as abuse.
Be aware that abuse is in the mind of person and is variable and remember
that what is seen can be reported wether it is really abuse or not.*

While Americans across the country have entered the political game to save our country, moving that proverbial ball of freedom towards the end zone, we’ve been sacked. Blindsided. We’ve been so focused on legislative elections (and rightly so) that most Americans don’t even know they’ve been hit – and hit hard.
But not by some big, burly monster like voter fraud or corruption. No, we’ve been knocked flat by the ignorance of the conservative electorate and cute little puppies licking our stunned, what-the-heck-just-happened faces.
Well, I’ll tell you what just happened.
It’s called the Humane Society of the United States cowardly hiding behind animal cruelty, lying to our citizens and taking our constitutional rights away – one state at a time.
This radical animal rights organization (HSUS), who spends less than 0.5% of its $100M + budget on actually helping animals, is using the referendum process to slowly, systematically eliminate food production in the United States.
In California, HSUS has decimated the egg industry forcing chicken farmers out of business and consumers to buy imported eggs. In Florida, for all intents and purposes, HSUS eliminated the pork industry. (Wondering why pork prices are going sky high?) They’ve also crippled numerous other agribusinesses – dragging connected industries down with them.
This November, HSUS is after the dog breeding industry in Missouri calling the bill the “Puppy Cruelty Prevention Act”. Great name. I mean who wouldn’t want to keep someone from being cruel to a puppy? The problem is Missouri already HAS laws protecting animals – all animals. So what’s the real agenda?
Simply to get rid of ALL dog breeding in Missouri – the unlicensed AND licensed breeders. Missouri’s Proposition B makes it a “crime of cruelty” for a piece of dog food to be in a water bowl or for a dog breeder to treat their own pet if they become ill (even with something as simple as a cold). To add insult to injury, HSUS has exempted themselves and shelters from these same laws. Apparently, they’re allowed to be cruel, but no one else is. (No folks, I don’t make this stuff up.)
This would almost be comical if it weren’t for the OTHER, more insidious parts of this bill that hit at the very core of our liberties. This bill forces breeders to limit the number of dogs they can own – regardless of care. Think about this a minute . . . . Should the government have the right to limit the number of houses a realtor can sell? Or the number of cattle a rancher can raise?
These new regulations will put almost every breeder in Missouri out of business forcing the price of dogs to sky rocket and allowing pet ownership only for the very wealthy. But this bill is just a stepping stone. HSUS eventually wants to extend this law to ALL animals. Their idea of utopia is a United States with NO animal ownership; NO meat to eat; NO pets; NO hunting; NO fishing; NO service animals. If chicken farmers would be forced to own no more than 50 chickens they could no longer afford to stay in business. The same will hold true with hog farmers and cattle ranchers. Eventually, agri-business will be forced to go over seas, just as our manufacturing and tech industries.
But even the extinction of our food industry isn’t the scariest part of this whacko liberal agenda. A law is only as good as it’s enforced. And HSUS is happy to fill the void. HSUS has now become the self-appointed law enforcement of the animal world. In some states, HSUS employees are running around with guns and police-like badges breaking down doors, confiscating animals and business papers, and obtaining warrants with false information. Lawsuits are cropping up against HSUS, sheriffs and governments for blatant violations of the most basic of constitutional rights.
Enough is enough. We have to draw the line and hold these radical animal rights activists back. The battle this year is in Missouri. If we do not all enlist and soundly defeat this deceptive bill, you can expect your state to be next.

TO BE CROSSPOSTED
F.LOSEY
“AND NOW THE REST OF THE STORY” ABOUT THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE U.S.”
DID YOU KNOW THAT . . . . .
1. The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) spends more money on its lobbying activities and for hosting Receptions at the U.S. Capitol and State Capitols than it does on direct animal care.
2. The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) spends more money on Receptions and Award Dinners in Hollywood and Washington DC for entertainers and celebrities than it does in direct financial support of animal shelters for dogs and cats.
3. The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) acknowledges on its website that the HSUS does not operate a single animal shelter for dogs and cats anywhere in the U.S., and it has never reported how much, if any, of the One Billion Dollars of Revenue that it has received in the last 10 years was used in support of animal shelters for dogs and cats in the U.S.
4. Although the Missouri Ethics Commission has reported on its Website that the HSUS has contributed over $1.2 Million for the lobbying activities related to the Proposition B Ballot Initiative, there is no known record of the Humane Society of the U.S. contributing a single dime in support of any animal shelter for dogs and cats in Missouri.
5. Although the required Lobbying Reports that the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) has filed with the States of California and Ohio document that the HSUS contributed $5,830,728.76 in support of Ballot Initiatives in those two States, the HSUS has never told the public how much, if any, of the more than $200 Million Dollars of Revenue that it has received in the last two years was used in support of animal shelters for dogs and cats in either California or Ohio.
6. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is auditing the lobbying activities of the Humane
Society of the U.S. to determine if it has exceeded the IRS limitation of “TOO MUCH LOBBYING” by a tax-exempt, public charity. (IRS CASE FILE NUMBERS: 29-92012 & 55-1005-0025-C)
7. The Humane Society (HSUS) of the U.S. may have made misrepresentations on its Tax Returns because the HSUS had denied each year on its Tax Returns that any of its Volunteers and Paid Staff had “lobbied” until after the IRS assigned CASE FILE NUMBER 29-92012 to an IRS Investigation File in December of 2008.
8. If the IRS determines that the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) has engaged in “TOO MUCH LOBBYING,” the IRS may rescind its tax-exempt, public charity status and assess back taxes and penalties against the Humane Society of the U.S. that could total in excess of $100 Million.
9. The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) may not be in compliance with the Lobbying Disclosure Act (2 U.S.C. 1601-1607), a Federal Statute. In this regard, despite the fact that the HSUS reports on its Tax Returns that it lobbies the U.S. Congress, the registration records maintained on the websites of the Clerk of the U.S. House and the Secretary of the U.S. Senate, who are responsible for maintaining lobbying registrations required by the Lobbying Disclosure Act, reveal the words “no matching filings found” when a search request is submitted for the following:
- · The Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS)
- · Wayne Pacelle (President and CEO of the HSUS)
- · Michael Markarian (Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the HSUS)
- · Nancy Perry (Vice President of Government Affairs whose BIO on the HSUS Website explicitly references her oversight responsibilities for the lobbying activities of the HSUS)
- · The Humane Society Legislative Fund (The Lobbying Affiliate of the HSUS, whose President is the same Michael Markarian who is the COO of the HSUS)
10. If the Humane Society of the U.S. is not in compliance with the Lobbying Disclosure Act, it could be subject to a civil fine of up to $200,000.
11. The Humane Society of the U.S. has prepared and distributed a “Humane Action Guide for Kids,” who are as young as 5-years old. This Guide potentially exploits children by including a detailed section that encourages 5-12 year-old children to contact Elected Representative and further gives them detailed instructions as to how to be an effective lobbyist.
12. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is auditing the lobbying activities of the Humane
Society of Missouri in order to determine if it has exceeded the IRS limitation of “TOO MUCH LOBBYING” by a tax-exempt, public charity. (IRS CASE FILE NUMBER: 2010-003995)
13. If the IRS determines that the Humane Society of Missouri the U.S. has engaged in “TOO MUCH LOBBYING,” the IRS may rescind its tax-exempt, public charity status and assess back taxes and penalties against the Humane Society of Missouri.
14. The Humane Society of the U.S. has never publically condemned those who violate the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act – - a Federal Terrorism Statute that was amended after 9-11.
15. By letter dated January 18, 2008, the President and CEO of the Humane Society of the U.S. suggested that the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act is an “unjust” law, and that it is appropriate for acts of “civil disobedience . . . to draw attention to unjust laws.”
16. In an E-Mail dated November 16, 2009, the President and CEO of the HSUS stated that every “responsible breeder” is a “puppy miller;” every “family farmer” is “factory farmer;” and every “responsible hunter” is a “poacher.”
17. The Missouri Pet Breeders Association was the first Commercial Pet Breeder Association to publicly condemn substandard kennels in February, 2006.
18. Commercial Pet Breeder Associations in the 10 States where over 85% of all Federally licensed and inspected breeders are located have now publicly condemned substandard kennels.
19. Despite repeated written requests asking that the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) acknowledge the public condemnations by responsible breeders, the HSUS has never acknowledge the condemnations by responsible breeders who truly care about the health and well being of their dogs, and especially the puppies that bring so much love and joy into the homes of millions of appreciative dog owners.
20. The Humane Society of the U.S. and its Chief Attorney were named as defendants in a lawsuit that was filed in the District Court of Washington DC on February 16, 2010. The lawsuit was filed by the parent company of Ringling Brothers, and the lawsuit alleges that the Humane Society of the U.S. and its Chief Attorney, Jonathan R. Lovvorn, engaged in “malicious prosecution,” and conspired to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) 18 U.S. C. 1961. The allegations in this lawsuit also raise the issue of “money laundering” by the HSUS.

Here is an interesting message regarding the HSUS’s policy to NOT meet with local agriculture folks when they have their activist meetings, even when those folks were INVITED. Be sure to read the comment from the gentleman who worked on the set of the movie City Slickers and see how out of touch the HSUS is with common concepts of animal husbandry.
