PLEASE READ!!!


This is a heads up to those who have bulldog yards!!


Here is some info from the Liberty County bust on why the dogs were seized and HOW THIS CAN HELP YOU AVOID LOSING YOUR DOGS..Most IMO is bullshit but there are many ways the law can obtain a warrant to seize dogs ..so best to know your local animal ordinances..

• The animals were also not given adequate shelter from the sun or rain, as mandated by animal cruelty and neglect laws.

• We do not believe that tethering automatically indicates fighting, but much of the layout of the property is exactly the type of setup that law enforcement sees every time it busts a property containing fighting dogs or dogs bred to fight.*

• There are no laws against breeding dogs OR tethering dogs, but there are laws about how those animals must be housed, and this breeder was breaking those laws. Though the animals were not being starved to death, the contaminated water they were standing in could potentially have given many of them transmissable diseases

• these animals act the way they do not by virtue of being pit bulls, but because of how they were treated by their owner.

• some of the animals we seized definitely showed scars from past fights

Surprised they're not on their way to get this mutt I'm watching. She's "tethered," and acts like a total spaz if there's another dog in the yard. (Not aggro, but looks like it.) She also doesn't have shelter from the rain since she's never out in it.

They would probably take me I bark more and louder and I am Human aggressive. Yah and I have battle scars too. Sign's of previous fights. Oh no.:eek:

I agree with you 440 about seeing dogs chained in standing water..that is not respecting the dog...they deserve better. If you are chaining your dog, bend over backwards to make their housing super great..shade, fresh water, regular poop patrol.
If you are making money off them, you should be doing something for them to make their lives pleasant. What really stabs my bleeding heart is know how much these dogs love to be with humans and to chain them and deny them human contact, that is terrible. But I did not see for myself how he treated those dogs...
I sometimes put Blue on a tether in the back yard if I have to fold the laundry or use the bathroom and she is out there for like 15 minutes with NO water. There is shade. So a picture could be taken and would make it look like she is neglected...I dunno.
I hate to see tethered dogs...
