Okay, I'm all about getting the laws changed... Where do we go from here? |
Exactly why I HATE that show! I cannot tell you how many places get turned in to those people and nothing is done. Now, I am not saying it is the fault of the SPCA...it is just that the laws SUCK. They make it look like these busts happen all of the time....NOT SO!
I have spoken with various people in the state of Texas about well known hoarders and the like only to be told that they cannot do anything unless we have absolute proof that a law is being violated; and the laws are pretty flimsy. I know of one instance where they scheduled an appointment to see the animals in a person's care. Uhhhh hello???? Did they really think they would see what I KNOW is in that place? And when I questioned them about WHAT they did and WHAT they saw, they said they are not at liberty to discuss an "investigation". WhatEVER. The poor animals have so few rights. Oh...and one thing I was told is that it does not matter if the animals are vetted or not...I was FLOORED. So...people can just provide shelter, food and water and that is IT. Could be a plywood box outside. One place I know of warehouses dogs in pens with osb wood boxes....4 and 5 large dogs outside year round in this state and there are pictures of it on the web. But...no one does a thing. They refer to it as a sanctuary. If I come back as a dog, let me DIE before I live in a "sanctuary" that leaves me out in the TX heat with other animals. Left to fight over a spot in the plywood box that has only three sides.
