How Old Are Goldfish When They At Pet Shops

Refuge Campifélin alias SPCA Valleyfield

As I described in my paper written in 2007 but still relevant The Pounds, "inspectors" were presented to the shelter Campifélin early in the morning even before the founders, Linda, Ashley and Louise are on site. They had completed a tour of the cages at 2 hrs in the morning and were entitled to a break.

Made aware of the delegation and the truck identified cubes SPCA, Linda came running to the news. It's the heart pounding she tried to learn more.

She never knew the truth this morning. Even with all his questions, we kept asking him the keys to the shelter. By scheming and collusion, they pulled him and entered the building without warrant or legal authority. Coudonc, what kind of society that's it, Quebec.

The same maneuver had taken place the previous Saturday while the girls went to visit and closed cages and give more water to the cats. A city employee arrived on scene and lied to Linda, saying "that people were coming to help them and they had nothing to do." However, it was the same group who came with his big boots, they dragged in every room for "inspect". This group not only did not come to help but to identify firsthand what it could give the event as an excuse that he can take control.

In their eyes, all cats were in poor condition. Rumor has it that after their takeover, the fact that 3 has euthanized. Big deal!

Still, this morning, after we pulled the keys from the hands of Linda, the group entered the building and closed off leaving key 3 girls in tears, wondering what which was to get the cats they had occupied for 2 years.

In this group of inquisitors, it took Johanne Tasse, a nobody with an ego bigger than his site Internet, Doris Ferrin, the representative of the city with which it has engineered the whole affair, Corinne Gonzalez Director of the SPCA Ste Agathe, whom I trust but I can not imagine that instead of helping it has supported the other 2 for their takeover, and a handful of BusyBodies, volunteers who had not the impression that what they were told to participate in a rescue operation.

The idea of arriving unannounced at the shelters is obviously to take the volunteers in default. A poop in the litter too and Johanne Tasse exclaimed "this is unacceptable." God knows that morning, overflowing litter for all cats are nocturnal. However, the cup has admitted he knew nothing about cats and little dogs. What is she doing there then? We will see later.

If allowed to enter, too late. Inspectors, police officers, city employees, etc.. will say they had permission. Wrong! It is through collusion and connivance they invest themselves the authority to inspect something they do not even know and they especially do not want to know the situation. And most importantly, never, they never come to "help". Stay for the words and beware if you have more cats allowed in your residence.

When Linda arrived at the shelter for information, the local newspaper was there. It was a public relations exercise much more than the rescue of cats who did not need to be saved that the group had organized. Indeed the first article that came out gave Featured Johanne Tasse and his CAA ... something.

Never, in the city, in local newspapers or among the volunteers we had accepted the job as the three founders had done with few resources. How to enforce a verbal contract ever signed paper, they are committed by honesty, picking up stray dogs, giving the news by telephone to taxpayers and accepting Valleyfield abandoned cats that people brought.

I hope that this story is not finished and that the three founders will not lose all the money they have invested in personal adventure. Besides all the material that volunteers and other agencies had provided free.

are killed by anti-animal legislation

The recent intervention by the Berger Blanc in Repentigny to force the woman to dispose of their animals, we deliver in the face, the futility of anti-animal laws in this province. We will not discuss here the fact that this lady cats were not sterilized and procreated in profusion. It will be another debate.

I got hold of an article from an American blog that makes a good point (see the text of the blog below). While everyone screams, the spca in mind, there are too many abandoned animals in Quebec, regulations limiting the number of animals per housing directly lead to confiscation and euthanasia of pets healthy , loved and who had a permanent home.

A regulation passed "no more than 2 dogs per household" and immediately, the third dog is doomed to euthanasia or abandonment on the street if it's a cat. Or if a neighbor complains about smells (my neighbor had already called police because she thought that my compost pile smelled of ammonia) from wherever they arise, the person who has cats will be inspected. Note that we do not protect the animals here, we regulate ... ..

should review all this regulation and replace it with the protection of animals involved in a controversy, and especially through education. What nobody is doing now.

We have seen in Rosemont. Because a tizoune went to city council to complain that there were too many stray cats in his alley, named Lavallee (who was not reelected, thankfully) moved quickly to pass a regulation prohibiting feed the cats. In his little head corrupt mayor, someone told him that if we stopped feeding the cats, they will disappear, the guy was probably the Berger Blanc.

In Quebec, there is no question of discussing the settlement before it passed. Elected municipal officials garrochent us in the face with the pound from behind. How many people must live underground and lie because they dared to save alley cats.

No, I'm not kind to politicians, policemen and the impound guys because I know how far their corruption when they attack can lead to a taxpayer. Especially if the tax payer does not know or can not give an envelope from time to time, these three levels that should protect the population will unite to seize, confiscate, move and kill the pets owned by the taxpayer and then send him an exorbitant bill for this. It a corrupt system in all events because "it relies on the law and regulations." Apologies if so but give carte blanche to all those who play with corrupt tax money.

Yes, we will have to unite and express our disagreement with each and every one of these regulations as and when they are brought to our attention. Starting with Laval where police and municipal employees are wasting time and public money to harass women who feed the cats and to destroy their huts.

With Killing animals homes - KC Dog Blog www.kcdogblog.com

In animal welfare, we talk an awful lot about how we can end the problem of having homeless pets in the US. There is often talk of things like "pet overpopulation", "shelter overcrowding" and that type of thing. Even one of the largest animal welfare organizations, Best Friends, hosts the No More Homeless Pets conference.

But maybe a more disturbing trend is the seemingly growing trend toward killing HOMED pets.

These are happy, healthy pets, that have loving, caring owners -- that for various reasons, we have decided to bring into our overcrowding shelters where they will likely be killed. These are animals, that have homes, that because of laws that we've created, we have decided to make homeless.

Recently, a Dallas couple, Mark and Lynn Gideon, found themselves in trouble with the Dallas law. Three years ago, Dallas passed a law limiting the number of pets people could have in their homes. The Gideons obtained a special permit to grandfather all of their existing pets -- 7 dogs (mostly Dachshund mixes) and 10 cats. In August, an animal control officer came to their home and wrote them two citations -- one for pet waste and one for odor of pet waste (it should be noted here that all of the neighbors have denied complaining about any odor problems stemming from the house).

By all accounts, the animals were all healthy, all were altered, licensed and up to date on their vaccinations. Because the Gideon's received two citations within a 12 month time period, authorities are saying that all of their pets must be removed from their home. Seventeen animals, all with a home and all seemingly well cared for, being asked to be removed and to join the ranks of the homeless animals in Dallas.

Earlier this week, news hit about two Boxer mixes in Brampton, Ontario that were confiscated from their owners and are on death row at the Brampton Animal Shelter. The dogs are believed by city authorities to resemble 'pit bulls' -- which are banned in Ontario under the Dog Owner Liability Act. By all accounts, the dogs are healthy, happy, well-socialized, non aggressive and are loved by their owners. Both are now "homeless" and could be killed in the shelter.

In 2006, Kansas City, MO passed a law that mandated that all 'pit bulls' had to be spayed or neutered. In 2009, four years after the ordinance passed, 270 dogs were confiscated from Kansas City area homes because they were unaltered pit bulls (more to come on KCMO in the next couple of weeks). The vast majority of these dogs were by animal control officer accounts happy, healthy dogs -- but because they were unaltered, they ended up at the city shelter. More than half of these dogs ended up dead in the shelter. Again, they were happy, healthy dogs, with homes, that the city made to be homeless, and then, dead.

In the book Redemption, Nathan Winograd talks a lot about the Dark Side of Mandatory Laws, and how even though they are often pushed by members of the animal welfare community, most end up leading to increased killing in city shelters.

"Legislation may be worded so that the result of non-compliance is the impoundment and death of the animal. Many jurisdictions have seen their impound rates increase following the passage of laws which give government agencies carte blanche to round up and kill animals. If a shelter has high rates of shelter killing, it makes no sense to support the passage of laws that give them greater power and more reasons to impound--and subsequently kill -- even more animals" -- Winograd in 'Redemption'

If we are to end the problem of homeless pets in this country, it is extremely important that we not only find homes for pets in our shelters, but it is also important that we makes ever effort necessary to keep happy, healthy, non-aggressive animals that have homes IN THEIR HOMES. This means not passing arbitrary pet limit laws, not passing breed specific laws that remove pets from homes based on how they look, not based on behavior, and not pass mandatory spay/neuter laws that pull animals out of homes for not being altered so they end up in the shelter.

Ending the problem with homeless pets in this country begins with not creating homeless pets unnecessarily. It is one thing to struggle with killing homeless animals because of shelter overcrowding, it is quite another to kill ones that actually have homes, for no reason at all.
