Their first raid one year prior had no cocks present. <BR/> <BR/>How did it come about that there was news coverage present at the time of the raid as witnessed by the staff photos?<BR/> <BR/>It said in the paper, "There are felony penalties for interstate commerce, importing and exporting fighting animals" But no local laws prohibited owning game cocks. So under what color of law were his animals seized? I'm up in the middle of the night worrying about this one. <BR/> <BR/>Neighbors had been said to have complained resulting in an investigation by the DeSoto County Sheriff's office. I imagine that 255 chickens might have been a nuisance. <BR/> <BR/>But I'm not sure how the HSUS got in it. HSUS is a not-for-profit-animal-rights organization? Why were they present at a police operation? Why were these fellow's animals taken and given to them if the crime in this area is a misdemeanor only if he was fighting them and why were his dogs and other birds taken as well if they were not illegal? Also why were they shipped to other areas of the country and euthanized if they were evidence? If his having these animals was a crime then why wasn't he arrested? <BR/> <BR/>Don't get me wrong I have no interest in, or love of, fighting animals I'm only concerned with civil liberties as they apply to animals and animal ownership issues. <BR/> <BR/>Were the civil liberties of Arnulfo Hernandez violated when his animals including his other animals were confiscated? Who gave HSUS authority to be present at a police operation and why? Did they present themselves under color of law when in fact they were involved in violating his civil rights by confiscating his property and disposing of it without due process? I certainly have no love of fighting animals but I do have love for civil liberties. If Mr. Hernandez can be treated in this manner should we all be concerned? <BR/> <BR/>Who will stand up for Arnulfo Hernandez's rights? Is there any group or any newspaper group that would investigate this activity to answer these questions? Today it is Mr. Hernandez, who will it be tomorrow? He will have few supporters because of the nature of his activities and because of the color of his skin. Is that acceptable? Criminals should be given due process. That is rule of law. What gave the police department the right to confiscate and dispose of his property without due process? And why were they working tandem with a known animal rights activist group?<BR/> <BR/>If Mr. Hernandez broke the law he must suffer the consequences. I do have many unanswered questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33244618.post-17275905269718311962008-06-12T14:13:00.000-07:002008-06-12T14:13:00.000-07:00Great Post!

I'm about as whitebread as they come, and I have three pit bulls - all rescues - my husband and I always make a pretty convincing pair when we show up at city council meetings that generalizations about pit bulls and their owners are bunk! When I drive home from work I pass some rich neighborhoods and humongous houses in a city where pit bulls are banned, and sadly I think "when I can afford to live in one of those houses (I'm a lawyer), A/C won't dare bother me and my dogs, regardless of the ban" - and I know it's true! BTW - Tupac McGangsta and Felony Illegalpants Martinez - what a hoot! But not far from the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33244618.post-51190629290948690042008-06-10T11:37:00.000-07:002008-06-10T11:37:00.000-07:00I'd be the first to say I'd fight this kind of leg...I'd be the first to say I'd fight this kind of legislation if it were imposed in my area (because I have) and move (if the fight was unsuccessful). But I have to concede that I have the means to move wherever I choose.<BR/><BR/>I wish more people understood how much power they really have. Many people are too afraid to make any changes. They're too afraid to change jobs; to move to a new community.<BR/><BR/>It's nothing new for governments to pick on easy targets. In my experience, hard targets are almost always given a pass, simply because there's no easy win on the horizon. Why make powerful enemies and not even be assured a win? Why not exert power over those who can't fight back? It's like taking candy from a baby. <BR/><BR/>Now, on a certain, very primal level, I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who choose jobs and homes over their family members. You don't find parents saying they have to give up their children because their new condo association "doesn't allow children" or their new apartment building's landlord has a weight limit, and the children are too big. People wouldn't even consider giving up their children. (Although they're rarely asked to.) At the very least, they wouldn't choose to move to some area where children aren't allowed. Yet this is common among dog owners.<BR/><BR/>I'm disappointed that animal ownership is so tightly linked to convenience and whim. That's not likely true of the kinds of people who read your blog, but it's true of dog and cat owners, in general. Shelter & rescue numbers are testimony to that, along with the sheer number of animals rehomed at some point in their lives. On a personal note, I know I'd starve long before my pets. The excuses people give for abandoning their pets is about as lengthy as the list of pet owners who abandon their animals. Virtually all of them fail the "what if we were talking about a child" test. And that says evertying to me.<BR/><BR/>Still, I emphathize with people who have to make huge sacrifices to save their pets from their governments. <BR/><BR/>Imagine, though, what a message it would send if dog owners actually stood by their pets, and fought hard and moved (if it came to that). What if more people sued the government, either over constitutional issues or to recover moving fees? <BR/><BR/>Ah it's all pie in the sky, I suppose. The call for dog owners to come together and fight tyranny has been echoing in the ether for almost two decades. Maybe it's like the broken telephone game. What starts off as, "Fight bad legislation and save innocent dogs" ends up as nonsensical, "Bad dogs love animal rights, purple monkey dishwasher," and the public tunes out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33244618.post-60900210855208552892008-06-04T05:20:00.000-07:002008-06-04T05:20:00.000-07:00Hey - I know Felony Illegalpants Martinez and he h...Hey - I know Felony Illegalpants Martinez and he has a Golden Retriever! ; )YesBiscuit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13827466504671715047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33244618.post-15684883315349660842008-06-03T20:40:00.000-07:002008-06-03T20:40:00.000-07:00And I'm so sure that AARP-age white librarians nev...And I'm so sure that AARP-age white librarians never own pit bulls.<BR/><BR/>oh wait.........<BR/><BR/>But honestly, do you think PETA et al actually CARE about facts?<BR/><BR/>You know this isn't about facts.<BR/><BR/>All the pictures of nice white people with their pit bulls isn't going to change their minds.<BR/><BR/>I don't know how to win this fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33244618.post-24364067354105858822008-06-03T19:19:00.000-07:002008-06-03T19:19:00.000-07:00amen, luisa. i want you at all the BSL hearings!!...amen, luisa. i want you at all the BSL hearings!!! it's an uphill battle to get people to see this - but at least some politicians around here are reluctant to pass BSL because they see it as a racial hot button. so i'm all about playing the race card.spotted dog farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516593937957047569noreply@blogger.com
