VA: Owner Speaks Out after 10 Dogs Seized from Fluvanna Home

Heck, I wish I knew my rights better than I do. If I thought / or saw that they had a case on me, I'd do everything in my ability to lawyer up. Or if lawyer money was no problem, no doubt, lawyering up right away! I just hate hearing of people getting scared and pleading because of no lawyer. Fuck it, fight it til the end if you believe you're innocent. All has just been my personal opinion though.

The lawyer I had let me pay payments a minimum of 8 to 10 hours of working on the case. I did not have lawyer money either and yes be firm with these assholes.

Absolutely no grounds to seize his dogs. If this man has the space and the money to take good care of his dogs he should be able to have 100 if he wants to. What happened in America guys? The country is supposed to be the land of the free for Christ sake! Sounds like Nazi Germany to me or some other dictatorship. I hope to God this man gets his dogs back.

Yes you are right XLR8 This is happening on the county level or city level with your local dog pound.To harass people with dogs I'm with you on that. IF he can take care of five dogs or a hundred dogs Leave him the HELL ALONE.

Take a look at the video in the second news story link and they show photos of the “evidence papers”…

They list all sorts of stupid stuff, like a paper plate, a bottle of fish oil, 5 bones, a metal spring, a bottle of unknown liquid, 2 bottles, a slip cable, 6 chains, bag of feed, animal skin, a harness, a pellet gun, container with books and papers, a computer, etc…

A paper plate? A bottle of fish oil? What the heck is wrong with having those? This is a huge violation of the man’s rights and he and his dogs will be paying for it…

Here is a donation link to help this man with his fight for his dogs –

If we don’t fight for our rights, soon we will have none…

Judge Orders County to Seize Dogs from Alleged Dog Fighting

Jan. 29, 2014

Officials in Fluvanna County have determined what will happen to several dogs seized in an apparent dog fighting ring.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Jeff Haslip says a judge ordered the dogs to be seized by the county.

Thirty-nine-year-old Brenton Mathis, the original owner of the dogs, has 10 days to appeal the ruling. If he does, he has to post a $30,000 bond for the animals. If Mathis doesn’t appeal, then the county will decide what to do with the dogs.

The dogs were seized from a home last week, after a neighbor complained about there being more than 30 dogs on the property. Ten dogs were collected by authorities.
Mathis was arrested and charged with 8 felony counts of fighting animals, 8 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and one felony count of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

He is being held without bond, and a hearing is scheduled for February 18th.

Neighbors are fine so still not sure where it's coming from. Firearm isn't his and that's not his property. It's his grandmother's, but somehow still charged.

I don't know the situation so I'm not speaking on it but speaking on felons and firearms. I have plenty of friends who are felons and they chose not to be around me because I keep my firearms very much accessible and they don't want to get in trouble. Unless a firearm is completely NOT accessible (gun safe) to the felon, more than likely they will be charged and convicted. Being released from prison you're very much aware of your lack of rights you'll now be living by. Whether he knew the gun was there or not would be what I'd bring up in court if I was him. But they're gonna say if he was caring for all them dogs there, he knew what was in the shed. Hope all works out for him.

This is what I call "Policing for Profit" and total BS. I highly recommend that if you have not read this sticky that you do so now. http://www.game-dog.com/showthread.php/10851-Your-rights-as-a-dog-owner

IT does not matter who owns the gun a felon cannot be around a gun at all.
