Is this really happening in the US of A?
For a real shocker see the video on the URL below.  Instead of picking up
loose animals on the streets, Fort Worth is arresting, handcuffing and
hauling pet owners off to jail.
Fort Worth had better build more jails because when the new "animal rights"
inspired ordinance passes, all dog and cat owners must sterilize their pets
or buy a permit.  Other provisions include:  attempts to define "agressive
dogs" before they do anything; fencing enclosures based on weight and height
of animals; delegates authority to seize tethered animals on private
property without a search warrant; and increases pet license fees and fines.
All guaranteed to kill even more animals at Animal Care and Control's
Facility!  Besides being discriminatory to low income pet owners and ethnic
groups.  Two dozen people owe $100,000 in citation fees meaning almost
$4,000 per person!

Information for contacting all Fort Worth city officials and media is on our
website:  www.rpoatexasoutreach.org under the Fort Worth ordinance link on
the right side of the home page.  Tell them what you think about their
animal ordinance and their gestapo tactics regarding enforcing ordinances.
Talk about an anti-pet city!

ANIMAL CONTROL ROUNDUP

FORT WORTH - The city of Fort Worth is going after more than two dozen
people. Together, they owe nearly $100,000 for animal control violations.

Animal Control Officers teamed up with Fort Worth Marshals and fanned out
before dawn Thursday to catch people with unpaid animal control citations.

"Those are not my dogs," said Peggy James when approached by authorities
about nine warrants in her name. "I don't own any dogs."

James was arrested.

"Well ma'am, when the citations were issued to you, you should have gone to
court and explained that to them," said Dave Fulbright, an Animal Control
supervisor, to James.

Authorities searched for 26 different pet owners wanted for anything from
failing to register or vaccinate to abandonment or tethering their animals.

"It is a big deal," Fulbright said. "It is a huge deal, and we're obligated
to enforce the rules and laws in the city of Fort Worth."

Rosita Flores owes $3,900 for 14 animal violations."I've never been to
jail," she said during her arrest.

During the roundup, officers found a baby pot belly pig living inside one of
the homes. Officers gave that homeowner a warning.

This stuff continues to bother me.  They won't take you to jail for threatening a persons life or pulling a gun on a person that is on private property because the DA does not want to fool with the paper work.  But they will come to your house and haul you to jail for not registering and vacc some dogs???  Sad times....

these people are not going to jail for animal violations they are going for failure to apear. Fort worth is a bit over the top with their ordinances and tactics, I agree. But I can tell you I have issued more than one person citations that totaled 4000 bucks. and they deserved every bit of it. and if I could have done more, I would have. An example of one was a Lady that had two pits that were very dog agressive. They escaped 7 times and on two of the occasions chased people inside their homes and on another, they busted through another citizen's 6' wood fence and stretched "fluffy" The lady received written warnings from my officers 7 times before she ever received the first citation. We basically begged her to keep her dogs up and to vaccinate for rabies (state law) Well she ignored the warnings and the dogs got out several more times and the last ended in a child being bitten in the head and getting 27 stitches. The dogs were eventually released to us and the lady's citations totaled about 3700 bucks for all the offenses. Had she gone to court when she was supposed to, she would have had them reduced and been allowed to pay them out. but she failed to appear, and got arrested.

The moral of my story is there are a lot of irresponsible people out there that deserve the tickets, and deserve whatever else happens to them. I'm no bunny hugger, i'm a hunter like the rest of y'all but there are lot of animal rights type people around and they tend to have bigger budgets than we do so get active in fighting the crazy laws or they will continue to take our rights away. They have people that spend every day of their lives trying to push these crazy humaniac laws through and if it werent for people like Mr. Mason we wouldnt have a chance.
