This was seen firsthand in the current federal case in Sacramento Eastern District Federal Court, where Placer County (yet again..) is being sued for errant conduct as to seizure done by the "humane society" there, which has been long known for their tactics.<br />
<br />
The lawsuit (last we saw) had at least 70 pages, and they were suing numerous parties, including that Humane Society of the Sierra Foothills (definitely illegal conduct used..) and many other people employed by the county, and others....we already had long ago spoken to the defense attorney that was originally on the case, a criminal law specialist.<br />
<br />
Hard to believe, but the attorney that mostly wrote much of the animal CA Penal Code law showed up in Placer County, and told the Judge there that it's the "legislature's" fault that in post seizure hearings, one does NOT always get a hearing??<br />
<br />
Attorney has personal knowledge of what happened in that case, and we also have the transcript of the defense attorney Wagman, admitting that PC 597.1(h) means if there "is" a search warrant, you don't have any legal right to a post seizure hearing, basically??? Anyone who knows criminal law is aware that a post seizure hearing is normally afforded in most cases unless the subject matter is illegal in and of itself (drugs, illegal items like having been stolen,etc.) as example....<br />
<br />
This is what the pet owners' criminal law specialist attorney stated: "..Statutes are declared unconstitutional by higher courts frequently..if this statue is interpreted to deny my clients all their due process rights, it will be declared unconstitutional in a further proceeding..."<br />
<br />
In fact, the statute<i> as applied</i> (which is a form of construction) in fact, makes the law as worded, illegal as it is applied to the facts of the case--of that, there is no doubt. That doesn't mean the owners who lost everything necessarily wanted to test the statute [because they didn't in reality]...<br />
<br />
<b>However, we are CERTAIN that if it was tested by using this case, the statute as applied, was illegal.</b><br />
<br />
We know this is true because after this case, we were involved in the case where allegedly many malamutes were seized (again, the seizure was a set up using rescues that were part of the shenanigans state wide) --- and after having spoken to the owner, we realized what had occurred. Basically, the owner was bamboozled into thinking that the "rescues" were trying to help her but in reality, the rescues just wanted all of her stock dogs. The dog owner herself, was NOT a rescue but rescues were constantly trying to obtain her dogs. The dogs were specifically bred for certain criteria, and were NOT rescue dogs.<br />
<br />
In the end, if anyone does test the illegality of the statute as outlined, we would be happy to be involved. The author of much of this code <b>knows it is not legal, because he even admitted that--by having instructed attendees at his yearly seminar with SHAC, to give all of such owners involving that specific code, a HEARING. </b><br />
<br />
And how we know that, is because animal control officers that attended that seminar done by this same attorney, was TOLD to offer the hearing to the involved parties, even if the code doesn't say they GET a hearing????<br />
<br />
**Note: to be honest, we realize that <i>just having</i> the hearing will not make anyone necessarily innocent, or able to get their animals back, because the impound costs are highly expensive and most owners cannot afford those costs. We are aware of at least 3 cases though, where the owners were able to get some of their animals back.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020093497178878349.post-57416248493502516482019-12-30T13:17:00.002-08:002020-01-28T10:19:00.528-08:00Attorney Won Post Seizure Hearing in Hollywood, California!It's true, attorney did win a post seizure hearing in Hollywood, CA when the seizure was done improperly.<br />
<br />
Very few attorneys have ever accomplished this. The Seizure Code for animals in California, is so poorly written, poorly updated, and convoluted, that even a seasoned Criminal law Specialist in Roseville had to ask attorney herein for help on the law in a different seizure case...<br />
<br />
The law under the CA Penal Code has been severely cobbled together and changed, year after year after year, and when reading this terribly written code, to be quite frank, <i>it is actually not legal in more than one way. As in "as applied." The reason for this is due to the statute which calls for a taking by the government, <u>without a hearing.</u> In other words, it amounts to a forfeiture, like when a person is in possession of illegal contraband/or drugs--everything is forfeited. One cannot have a hearing on items that are actually illegal in the first place to own basically.</i><br />
<br />
We have inside information that the people responsible for the law (an attorney in the Bay Area) had already told animal control that even though the law does not afford a "hearing", he recommended at his seminar on the subject, to give the accused a hearing anyway. Obviously this means, this attorney knows his law is completely flawed, yet he has done nothing to change that law. That same attorney also appeared in Roseville and told Judge that it was the "Legislature's fault" because they passed the law. We call that-- nothing less than being an outright SCHMUCK. Wait until the law is actually challenged in Federal Court. It will have to be changed because it is obviously illegal.<br />

We don't say that because we think we know everything, but because the law as written is simply illegal, we need a case usually, in order to have standing in Federal Court, to challenge it. There actually is such a case in Sacramento Eastern District on this issue, BUT the case is not premised on challenging the law itself, it is instead focused on other factors that happened in the case, and the moving party does not want to challenge the law for other reasons.<br />
<br />
We can give out information on that case if you are interested, just call and ask 530 359 8810 and leave us a message. Very few attorneys are even aware of this case. We may write more about it later in 2020.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020093497178878349.post-87704371261347562432019-04-30T13:22:00.003-07:002019-04-30T13:22:20.116-07:00Oregon Defeats Law Prohibiting Sales of Purposely Bred Pups<a href="https://animallaw.foxrothschild.com/2019/04/19/a-bill-that-would-have-prohibited-sales-of-purposely-bred-puppies-from-pet-shops-was-soundly-defeated-in-oregon/">https://animallaw.foxrothschild.com/2019/04/19/a-bill-that-would-have-prohibited-sales-of-purposely-bred-puppies-from-pet-shops-was-soundly-defeated-in-oregon/</a><br />

<br />
We needn't rehash this yet again BUT---- puppies are born to be sold so people can own them.<br />
<br />
Most rescued animals do not have owners and thus rehoming them is what is done to get them homes. Calling the sale of an animal that is rehomed is in fact, a sale; if the selling entity is a non profit, the sold animal can be said to be rehomed and the expense of buying the animal could be considered a donation to the non profit.<br />
<br />
But because the word "sale" to activists means "buy"--and the word "rehomed" to activists means "not buying"--this is incorrect. Whether you pay cash or use a credit card, you are exchanging your money for the animal, period. Whether that animal is $5.00 or $5,000, and whether you are paying for the time or expense or rehab of said animal, you are still buying it; even the pound charges you to buy the animal, and it is not tax deductible in most cases because the county or city is not a tax exempt not for profit entity.<br />
<br />
Even if a 501(c)(3) sells an animal and calls it an adoption fee, you are still exchanging money for property. The fact that the non profit says you can exempt the tax does not mean the animal was free, and the money you paid is added to the non profit's income which is generally not taxable.<br />
<br />
Non profits can in fact, and do, make A LOT OF PROFIT. That fact is highly misunderstood. A profit in a non profit entity is allowed 100%. It is the <i>purpose of the entity</i> that makes the entity tax exempt. Most hospitals are non profit entities and they are not broke; the HSUS is not broke; the ASPCA is not broke; the largest non profits in the world are usually flush.<br />

can be sold in a pet store (retail) unless it came/comes from a shelter, or non profit group<br />
such as a rescue. That's just the simplified version. and it supposedly won't actually be<br />
active until Jan 2019? So that gives CA pet stores [that want to sell kittens/or puppies,etc]<br />
time to get out of business or get out<br />
of California? <a href="http://www.petbusiness.com/California-Passes-Pet-Sale-Ban/"> http://www.petbusiness.com/California-Passes-Pet-Sale-Ban/</a><br />
<br />
For example, the pet store franchise Petland, well known for being chased<br />
down by every AR zealot in the country, would basically lose all their stores in CA, if<br />
there are any left? and the private run pet stores selling kittens, puppies, etc would have the<br />
same problem, UNLESS they can prove they are selling non profit animals? Most likely the<br />
sellers must be non profits unless the law allows sales of non profit animals by a group which<br />
is NOT a nonprofit?<br />
<br />
Seriously, and what does this cause? Basically it will mean more USDA licensing if pets are<br />
going to be sold, which are sold without being seen? The APHIS rules are many, and we are<br />
not about to list them all here, but knowing they have been out there for years now, anyone<br />
not in compliance that gets caught will have some kind of problem for sure, we can thank<br />
rogue seizure groups for that, AR crazy people, and the people who get caught selling<br />
animals who may have done nothing wrong? Pretty much, sales of animals can still be done<br />
if it's a small scale and you don't ship the animals. If you think you are going to sell animals<br />
regulated by the new law in the future, you should get legal help first, NOT after you have<br />
already been doing it without knowing the rules. You could be in violation without even<br />
knowing it.<br />
<br />
As for rescues in California, there really are very few regulations aimed at non profit groups which<br />
take in animals. Seriously. And when they take the animals from shelters, they are supposed to be able to know how to fix behavioral issues that present as problems--which is why maybe 50% of shelter animals end up returned to shelters? The Hayden Law doesn't cover much. CA pet store laws are quire stringent.<br />
BUT since animal activists don't want people to buy what they want, they want owners<br />
to "adopt" anything and buy nothing.<br />
Let's face it, adopting is BUYING, it's not free.<br />
Any rescue can tell you that rescuing isn't profitable, but just look at ASPCA and many rescue<br />
groups out there.<br />
Are they all so rich that they can lose money every year??<br />
Who knows if the IRS 990s are even true? Who knows the REAL history of what animal<br />
you are buying from them? No one does.<br />
No one would ever know.<br />

Trust us, you won't be finding any good sourced puppies at a store, since<br />
non profits will not be allowed to get them from any breeders. That means they either<br />
had to raise them themselves, take them from someone, or steal them possibly, or buy<br />
them from non breeders. or get them for free. Good luck. best to just buy one from an<br />
actual breeder that is in compliance with the rules, or just drive or fly out of state and<br />
buy one. California animal laws suck big time and can only get worse. Look at who's<br />
running the laws.

I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
On October 4, 2010, Plaintiff Al Davis ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint ("Complaint") alleging claims for: 1) violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"); 2) violations of the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 51; and 3) intentional infliction of emotional distress. (Doc. No. 3.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
On December 16, 2010, Defendants filed a Motion to Strike Plaintiff's "SLAPP" claims, arguing Plaintiff's state law claims should be stricken because Plaintiff could not demonstrate a reasonable probability of success on the merits. (Doc. No. 9.) The Court denied the motion on January 31, 2011, finding Plaintiff's claims were not "`cause[s] of action against [Defendants'] arising from any act of [Defendants] in furtherance of [Defendants'] right of petition or free speech under the United States or California Constitution.'" (Jan. 31 Order (Doc. No. 17) (quoting Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 425.16).)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants then filed a Motion to Strike Portions of the Complaint on March 1, 2011, moving to strike Paragraph 21 under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f). (Doc. No. 18.) Defendants argued Plaintiff's allegations of perjury, concealment, and collusion to obstruct justice were "scandalous," "impertinent," and "irrelevant matters," and requested the Court strike Paragraph 21 because it alleged privileged conduct under California Civil Code Section 47. (<i>Id.</i> at 6.) The Court agreed that Paragraph 21 involved privileged communications under California Civil Code Section 47(b) and granted Defendants' motion. (Apr. 8 Order (Doc. No. 21) at 6 (citing <i>Kimes v. Stone,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/84%20F.3d%201121" style="color: #00528b;">84 F.3d 1121</a></cites>, 1126-27 (9th Cir.1996)) (noting that "[f]or well over a century, communications with `some relation' to judicial proceedings have been absolutely immune from tort liability by the privilege codified as section 47(b) ... [T]he privilege is now held applicable to any communication ... and all torts except malicious prosecution" (citation omitted)).)</div>

II. LEGAL STANDARD</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
A court shall grant a motion for summary judgment when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a); <i>Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc.,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/477%20U.S.%20242" style="color: #00528b;">477 U.S. 242</a></cites>, 247-48, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). The moving party must show that "under the governing law, there can be but one reasonable conclusion as to the verdict." <i>Anderson,</i> 477 U.S. at 250, 106 S.Ct. 2505.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Generally, the burden is on the moving party to demonstrate that it is entitled to summary judgment. <i>Margolis v. Ryan,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/140%20F.3d%20850" style="color: #00528b;">140 F.3d 850</a></cites>, 852 (9th Cir.1998) (citing <i>Anderson,</i> 477 U.S. at 256-57, 106 S.Ct. 2505); <i>Retail Clerks Union Local 648 v. Hub Pharmacy, Inc.,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/707%20F.2d%201030" style="color: #00528b;">707 F.2d 1030</a></cites>, 1033 (9th Cir.1983). The moving party bears the initial burden of identifying the elements of the claim or defense and evidence that it believes demonstrates the absence of an issue of material fact. <i>Celotex Corp. v. Catrett,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/477%20U.S.%20317" style="color: #00528b;">477 U.S. 317</a></cites>, 323, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986).</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Where the non-moving party has the burden at trial, however, the moving party need not produce evidence negating or disproving every essential element of the non-moving party's case. <i>Celotex,</i> 477 U.S. at 325, 106 S.Ct. 2548. Instead, the moving party's burden is met by pointing out that there is an absence of evidence supporting the non-moving party's case. <i>Id.; Horphag Research Ltd. v. Garcia,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/475%20F.3d%201029" style="color: #00528b;">475 F.3d 1029</a></cites> (9th Cir.2007),</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The burden then shifts to the non-moving party to show that there is a genuine issue of material fact that must be resolved at trial. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c); <i>Celotex,</i>477 U.S. at 324, 106 S.Ct. 2548; <i>Anderson,</i> 477 U.S. at 256, 106 S.Ct. 2505. The non-moving party must make an affirmative showing on all matters placed in issue by the motion as to which it has the burden of proof at trial. <i>Celotex,</i> 477 U.S. at 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548; <i>Anderson,</i> 477 U.S. at 252, 106 S.Ct. 2505.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
<i>See also</i> William W. Schwarzer, A. Wallace Tashima & James M. Wagstaffe, <i>Federal Civil Procedure Before Trial</i> § 14:144. A genuine issue of material fact will exist "if the evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the non-moving party." <i>Anderson,</i> 477 U.S. at 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
In ruling on a motion for summary judgment, a court construes the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party. <i>Scott v. Harris,</i> 550 U.S. 372, 378, 380, <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/127%20S.Ct.%201769" style="color: #00528b;">127 S.Ct. 1769</a></cites>, 167 L.Ed.2d 686 (2007); <i>Barlow v.

Contractors Ass'n,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/809%20F.2d%20626" style="color: #00528b;">809 F.2d 626</a></cites>, 630-31 (9th Cir.1987).</div>

III. FACTS</h4>
<h4 style="font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 1.313em; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: 28.3608px; padding: 0.25em 0px; word-spacing: 0.25em;">
A. Preliminary Evidentiary Issues</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff filed an Objection to Defendants' Evidence, challenging specific statements</div>
<div style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;">
[848 F.Supp.2d 1109]<div>
</div>
</div>
<page no="1109" reporter="F.Supp.2d" vol="848">in the declarations of Dale Ma, Laura Hintz, and Sally Montruccio. (Doc. No. 56.) As the Court does not rely on the statements in Mr. Ma's declaration to which Plaintiff objects, the Court only addresses Plaintiff's objections to Ms. Hintz's and Ms. Montruccio's declarations.</page><br />
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff argues that both Ms. Montruccio and Ms. Hintz are lay witnesses with no legal training, who therefore cannot give their opinions on what constitutes a service animal under California or federal law. (<i>Id.</i> at 4-6.) The Court overrules Plaintiff's objections to the declarations of Ms. Hintz and Ms. Montruccio. Ms. Hintz provides a thorough description of her job as the Field Services Representative of the Department of Animal Care and Services for the City of Rancho Cucamonga, and the Court finds her qualified to describe the Department's procedures for licensing dogs. (<i>See</i> Hintz Decl. ¶¶ 1-2.) To the extent Plaintiff intended his objection as one for lack of foundation, the objection lacks merit.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Ms. Montruccio also details her expertise in training service dogs, and provides a thorough explanation for her conclusion that the puppy was not a trained service animal. There is sufficient foundation for her opinion. (<i>See</i> Montruccio Decl. ¶¶ 4-24.)</div>
<h4 style="font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 1.313em; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: 28.3608px; padding: 0.25em 0px; word-spacing: 0.25em;">
B. Uncontroverted Facts</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
In his SGI, Plaintiff attempts to dispute 34 of Defendants' 35 alleged uncontroverted facts.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="1" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid1" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">1</a></span> To the extent those facts are not mentioned, the Court has not relied on them in reaching its decision.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="2" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid2" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">2</a></span></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The following material facts are supported adequately by admissible evidence and are uncontroverted. They are "admitted to exist without controversy" for the purposes of Defendants' Motion. <i>See</i> L.R. 56-3 (facts not "controverted by declaration or other written evidence" are assumed to exist without controversy); Fed. R.Civ.P. 56(e)(2) (where a party fails to address another party's assertion of fact properly, the court may "consider the fact undisputed for purposes of the motion").</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
On December 28, 2008, Plaintiff entered Defendants' Burger King restaurant on Roscoe Boulevard, Van Nuys, California ("restaurant") <b>with a 13 week old puppy Plaintiff was training to be a service dog ("the puppy"). (Compl. ¶ 12; Davis Decl. ¶ 4.)</b> </div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
On the entrance to the restaurant were posted two signs stating: "No animals except for service animals"; and "No animals except as allowed by state law." (Ma Decl. ¶ 5, Ex. 3; Davis Decl. ¶ 5.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
When Plaintiff attempted to order food, a restaurant staff member asked Plaintiff to leave because of the restaurant's "no dogs" policy. (Davis Decl. ¶ 5.) <b>Plaintiff asked to speak with the manager and explained to the staff member that the puppy was a service dog in training. (Davis Dep. 17:5-8, 18:10-15.)</b></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The manager, Defendant Gloria Garduno, repeated that dogs were not allowed and pointed to the sign on the outside of the restaurant. (Davis Dep. 17:17-19.) She also asked to see the puppy's "ID." (Garduno Dep. 40:9-10.) When Plaintiff said he did not have one, she told him he could not stay in the restaurant, but could</div>

<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
After leaving the restaurant, Plaintiff retrieved a camera from his car and took pictures of the sign. (Davis Dep. 17: 21-22.)</div>

1. Plaintiff's Disability</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff has a degenerative back disability, which limits his ability to walk and sleep. (Davis Decl. ¶ 2.) Plaintiff's back problems date from 1988 when he suffered a herniated disc and underwent surgery. (<i>Id.</i>) In 2004, he dislocated the "T-10 through S-1 vertebrae disks [sic]" in his back while working as a physician's assistant. (<i>Id.</i>) His doctors recommended he undergo another back surgery, but Plaintiff worried surgery would not ameliorate his pain. (<i>Id.</i>) Since then, Plaintiff's back pain has persisted, though the pain variessome days he is relatively pain free, while other days he cannot get out of bed. (<i>Id.</i>)</div>
<h4 style="font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 1.313em; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: 28.3608px; padding: 0.25em 0px; word-spacing: 0.25em;">
2. Plaintiff's Puppy</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff's puppy is a Great Dane that was approximately 13 weeks old at the time of the alleged denial of accommodation. (Coates Decl. ¶ 3, Ex. 6; Hintz Decl. ¶ 4.) Plaintiff acquired the puppy in November 2008. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 10.) <b>The puppy received a service dog tag from the City of Rancho Cucamonga, California on December 2, 2008, and a general dog license on February 29, 2009. (Hintz Decl. ¶ 7.)</b></div>
<h4 style="font-family: Oswald, sans-serif; font-size: 1.313em; letter-spacing: 0.1em; line-height: 28.3608px; padding: 0.25em 0px; word-spacing: 0.25em;">
3. Puppy's Training</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
When <b>Plaintiff entered the Burger King restaurant on December 28, 2008, the puppy was not fully trained as a service animal, but had some "basic obedience" training.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="4" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid4" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">4</a></span> (Montrucchio Decl. ¶¶ 10, 23.) When Defendants allegedly denied him accommodation, Plaintiff was attempting to train the puppy to assist him with walking and balancing inside restaurants. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 10; Davis Decl. ¶ 4.)</b></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
As a young dog, the puppy still had a "playful" streak.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="5" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid5" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">5</a></span> (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 10.) Additionally, the puppy was too young to have complete control over its bladder and bowels for extended training periods. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 22.) Thus, there was a risk that as a young dog that was not fully trained, the puppy could defecate or urinate in public places while being trained. (<i>Id.</i>)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The <b>puppy was not a trained service dog in December 2008, "under any circumstances, according to minimal industry standards and practices."</b><span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="6" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid6" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">6</a></span>(Montrucchio</div>

C. Disputed Facts</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The parties dispute whether the puppy was able to ameliorate Plaintiff's disability, and specifically, whether the puppy could assist Plaintiff with balance and mobility.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="10" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid10" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">10</a></span> (<i>See</i> Davis Decl. ¶ 4; Mot. at 13.) According to Defendants' service dog expert, the young puppy was not large enough to assist Plaintiff with walking or balancing. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 23.) In fact, Ms. Montrucchio testified that Plaintiff could have injured himself and the puppy if he had leaned on the puppy for balance when the puppy was just 13 weeks old. (<i>Id.</i>)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants also submit Plaintiff's deposition testimony, in which Plaintiff states the puppy served as "a reminder" not to put his complete body weight on his left side. (Davis Dep. 15:10-12.) When Defendants' counsel asked if the puppy could physically assist Plaintiff in walking, Plaintiff replied "no." (Davis Dep. 15:17-20.) Plaintiff also replied "no," when Defendants' counsel asked whether the puppy could physically assist him in balancing. (Davis Dep. 15:21-24.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff, however, submits a letter and two prescription notes written by Dr. Harding G. Young, which state that Plaintiff uses a service animal due to his "severe back pain/disc degeneration." (Davis Decl. Ex. 1.) Plaintiff also claims in his declaration that he obtained the puppy "to personally</div>

Defendants note in their Reply, however, that Plaintiff's doctor has not submitted a sworn declaration identifying Plaintiff's disability and describing how a service animal could ameliorate the condition. (Reply at 10.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants also argue that Plaintiff's declaration describing how the dog assisted him is "uncorroborated and self-serving" testimony and therefore does not raise a genuine issue of fact.

A. ADA and Unruh Civil Rights Act Claims</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Title III of the ADA establishes that "no individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations of any place of public accommodation...." 42 U.S.C. § 12182(a).<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="11" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid11" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">11</a></span></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
To prevail on a Title III discrimination claim, the plaintiff must show that:</div>

<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Here, Plaintiff claims he has a disability within the meaning of the ADA, and that Defendants failed to accommodate Plaintiff when they refused to allow him to remain in the restaurant with his puppy. (Compl. ¶ 12; Davis Decl. ¶¶ 2-5.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The parties do not dispute that Defendants are private entities that own and operate a place of public accommodation. (Compl. ¶ 7; Answer (Doc. No. 22) ¶ 7); <i>see also</i> 28 C.F.R. § 36.104 (restaurant or other establishment serving food or drink constitutes place of public accommodation). Nor do the parties dispute that Defendants' manager, Ms. Garduno, asked Plaintiff to leave the restaurant on December 28, 2008, because he was accompanied by the puppy. (Davis Decl. ¶ 5; Garduno Dep. 5-12.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Thus, the only elements of Plaintiff's ADA claim at issue here are whether Plaintiff had a qualifying disability, whether the puppy was a "service animal" within the meaning of the ADA, and whether any defenses apply. The Court addresses each in turn.</div>
<div style="font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-align: right;">

</div>
</div>

<page no="1113" reporter="F.Supp.2d" vol="848"><bold>1. Qualifying Disability</bold></page></h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
To sustain a claim under the ADA Plaintiff must first demonstrate a qualifying disability. 42 U.S.C. § 12182(a). The ADA defines disability as:</div>
<bq style="border-left: 0.6em solid rgb(170, 170, 170); color: #1e1e1e; display: block; padding: 0.2em 1em; text-align: justify;">(1) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual;</bq><bq style="border-left: 0.6em solid rgb(170, 170, 170); color: #1e1e1e; display: block; padding: 0.2em 1em; text-align: justify;">(2) a record of such impairment; or</bq><bq style="border-left: 0.6em solid rgb(170, 170, 170); color: #1e1e1e; display: block; padding: 0.2em 1em; text-align: justify;">(3) being regarded as having such impairment.</bq><div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
42 U.S.C. § 12102(2)(A)-(C).</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The corresponding regulations specify further that a "physical or mental impairment" includes "any physiological disorder or condition." 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(h)(1). Thus, the ADA protects a broad array of physical and mental impairments, including back disabilities. <i>Rood v. Umatilla Cnty.,</i> 526 F.Supp.2d. 1164, 1175 (D.Or. 2007) (back problems such as lumbosacral sacroiliac spondylosis, herniated disc, and degenerative disc disease could qualify as disability under ADA).</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The federal regulations define "major life activity" to include "caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, seeing, hearing, eating, sleeping, walking, standing, sitting, reaching, lifting, bending, speaking, breathing, learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, interacting with others, and working; and the operation of a major bodily function." 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(i)(1).</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The federal regulations state that the terms "major" and "substantially limits" should not be interpreted strictly. 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(i)(2), (j)(1). The primary focus of the ADA should not be whether an individual's disability substantially limits a major life activity, but rather, whether discrimination has occurred. 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(j)(1)(iii).</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants argue that Plaintiff's injury does not substantially limit him. To support this, Defendants cite to the regulations' appendix, which states that "temporary, non-chronic impairments of short duration, with little or no long term or permanent impact, are usually not disabilities." (Mot. at 20 (citing 29 C.F.R. Part 1630 App., § 1630.2(j)).) Defendants do not, however, submit any facts demonstrating that Plaintiff's disability was temporary.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="12" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid12" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">12</a></span> Defendants instead seem to argue that because Plaintiff stopped attending physical therapy and has admitted to taking walks, his physical condition fails to meet the ADA definition for a qualifying disability.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="13" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid13" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">13</a></span></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Whether a person has a qualifying disability, however, does not depend on whether she attends physical therapy, nor must a plaintiff be completely unable to walk to demonstrate a qualifying ambulatory disability or back disability. <i>See</i>29 C.F.R. § 1630.2.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">

Glacier Nw., Inc.,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/413%20F.3d%201053" style="color: #00528b;">413 F.3d 1053</a></cites>, 1059 (9th Cir.2005). At the same time, however, "conclusory declarations are insufficient to raise a question of material fact." <i>Id.</i></page><br />
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Here, Plaintiff explains the history of his back condition, describes the pain he experiences as a result of the condition, and states in his declaration: "Due to my degenerative back problems I have difficult[y] walking and sleeping." (Davis Decl. ¶ 2.) Plaintiff also provides a letter from his doctor, which states that Plaintiff "suffers from [a] severe back disability," and a prescription note stating Plaintiff has "severe back pain/disc degeneration." (Davis Decl. Ex. 1.) While Plaintiff's declaration borders on conclusory, the doctor's note tilts the balance in favor of finding a triable issue of fact exists here regarding Plaintiff's disability.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Thus, viewing the facts in a light most favorable to Plaintiff, a reasonable jury may conclude from this evidence that Plaintiff's symptoms significantly restricted him from at least one major life activity such as sleeping or walking.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="14" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid14" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">14</a></span></div>

2. Service Animal</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants argue that Plaintiff's dog did not qualify as a "service animal" under the ADA because the dog was not trained to work for Plaintiff to help ameliorate his ADA disability. (Mot. at 11.) Defendants also maintain that the ADA only covers licensed service animals, which excludes an "untrained puppy" with no skills to "differentiate him from an ordinary, well-mannered pet." (<i>Id.</i>at 13.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff argues federal law does not specify what kind of training a dog must complete in order to qualify as a service dog. (Opp'n at 6.) In the absence of federal guidance, Plaintiff contends, California law applies. (Opp'n at 5 (citing Cal. Civ. Code § 54.2).)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Though the federal regulations do not create a federal certification process, the ADA's corresponding regulations specify that a service animal "means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability." 28 C.F.R. § 36.104; <i>see also</i> 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq.; <i>Miller v. Ladd,</i> No. CV 08-05595 NJV, 2010 WL 2867808, at *4 (N.D.Cal. July 20, 2010) (citing <i>Vaughn v. Rent-A-Center, Inc.,</i> No. 2:06-cv-1027, 2009 WL 723166 at *10 (S.D.Ohio Mar. 16, 2009) (citing <i>Access Now, Inc. v. Town of Jasper, Tenn.,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/268%20F.Supp.2d%20973" style="color: #00528b;">268 F.Supp.2d 973</a></cites>, 980 (E.D.Tenn.2003); <i>Bronk v.

Additionally, "the work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual's disability." 28 C.F.R. § 36.104; <i>see also Bronk,</i> 54 F.3d at 429.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
To survive a motion for summary judgment, therefore, Plaintiff must show there is a triable issue of fact as to whether Plaintiff's puppy was "trained to work ... so as to help ameliorate" Plaintiff's back disability.<span style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="tooltip" fid="15" href="https://www.leagle.com/decision/infdco20120127e29#fid15" style="color: #00528b; padding-left: 0.4em; text-decoration-line: none;">15</a></span> <i>See Davis v.

<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
In <i>Davis v. Patel,</i> the court found a declaration averring that Plaintiff was "turned away `supposedly because she had a licensed service dog with her'" did not create a triable issue of fact sufficient to survive Defendants' motion for summary judgment. The court reasoned that the affiant was not "qualified to expertly opine on ... whether [Plaintiff's] disability required a service dog." <i>Id.</i>at *5.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Here, drawing all justifiable inferences in Plaintiff's favor, the Court finds the record does not contain admissible evidence demonstrating that Plaintiff's puppy was a trained service animal able to ameliorate Plaintiff's disability.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
First, Plaintiff fails to present evidence creating a triable issue of fact as to whether the puppy was a trained service animal. Rather, the uncontroverted facts show the 13 week old puppy was not fully trained as a service animal, and only had some "basic obedience" training. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶¶ 10, 23; Davis Decl. ¶ 4.) At the time of the incident, Plaintiff was still attempting to train the puppy to assist him with walking and balancing inside restaurants. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 10; Davis Decl. ¶¶ 4-5.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The only evidence Plaintiff submits showing the puppy was a licensed service dog is a picture of the puppy's service dog tags. (Davis Decl. Ex. 2.) This does not establish, however, that the puppy was a properly trained service animal within the meaning of the ADA. Defendants' service dog expert testified that Rancho Cucamonga's service dog tags are given out based on an "honor system." (Hintz Decl. ¶ 9.) If a person fills out an affidavit stating the dog is a "canine licensed as, to be qualified as, or identified as, a guide dog, signal dog, or service dog," then the city issues a service dog tag. (<i>Id.</i>) Though the City gave Plaintiff such a tag on December 2, 2008, the City did not ascertain whether the puppy was trained, nor whether Plaintiff was a qualified service dog trainer. (<i>Id.</i>¶¶ 7-10.) In fact, the City rarely issues a service dog tag to a puppy less than four months old that has not received a rabies vaccination. (<i>Id.</i> ¶ 11.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants' expert also testified that working service dogs are required to be fully vaccinated. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 21.) As Plaintiff submits no expert testimony disputing this requirement, Plaintiff fails to create a triable issue of fact regarding the vaccination requirements for service dogs. Plaintiff also admits the puppy was not vaccinated for rabies at the time of the incident. (<i>See</i>Davis Decl. ¶ 9.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Thus,<b> the puppy's dog tag alone does not create a triable issue of fact as to whether the puppy was a trained service animal within the meaning of the ADA.</b></div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Second, Plaintiff does not present evidence raising a triable issue of fact with respect to the physical assistance the puppy provided Plaintiff. <b>In fact, Plaintiff admitted in his deposition that the puppy did not assist him in walking or balancing. (Davis Dep. 15:17-24.)</b> Although Plaintiff provided a note from his doctor, this note does not describe how a Great Dane service dog would ameliorate Plaintiff's back disability. (Davis Decl. Ex. 1.) The doctor's note also does not specify whether Plaintiff's disability requires the assistance of a service dog, but merely states Plaintiff "uses a service animal due to severe back pain/disc degeneration." (<i>Id.</i>) Plaintiff does not provide a declaration from his</div>

<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Plaintiff's declaration on its own does not suffice to create a triable issue of fact, especially where his previous deposition testimony contradicts his assertion in the declaration that the puppy ameliorates his disability. <i>See Kennedy,</i> 90 F.3d at 1481.</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
The ADA does not create unlimited license for disabled customers to enter facilities of public accommodation with their pets. The federal regulations limit protected entry to trained service animals that help ameliorate their owner's qualifying disability. 28 C.F.R. § 36.104. As Plaintiff fails to present any evidence creating a triable issue of fact as to whether Plaintiff's puppy was a trained service dog, the Court finds Plaintiff cannot — as a matter of law — prove the elements of his ADA claim.</div>

3. Public Health and Safety Defenses</h4>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
Defendants argue that under the ADA a public accommodation is not required to permit access to a service animal when that animal poses a "direct threat" that jeopardizes public health or safety. (Mot. at 14.) Defendants contend that, because Plaintiff's puppy was neither vaccinated nor trained, and Defendants' public accommodation was located in an officially declared "rabies area," the law did not require Defendants to permit entrance to Plaintiff and his puppy. (<i>Id.</i> at 14-15.) Alternatively, Defendants assert several affirmative defenses under the ADA. (<i>Id.</i> at 15.)</div>
<div style="color: #1e1e1e; padding-top: 0.15em; text-align: justify;">
As Plaintiff fails to submit admissible evidence creating a triable issue of fact with respect to the ADA claim, however, the Court need not consider Defendants' defenses, and instead, finds Plaintiff's ADA claim fails as a matter of law.</div>

FootNotes</h4>
<br /><footnote fid="1" id="fid1">1. The majority of Plaintiff's purported disputes do not address the facts or sources of evidence Defendants present, but instead, propound legal arguments as to the merits of the case. (<i>See generally</i> SGI.) As these arguments do not address whether the proffered facts are disputed, the Court accords them no significance.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="2" id="fid2">2. As the Court does not rely on any of the exhibits attached to Defendants' Request for Judicial Notice, the Court does not address the evidentiary issues raised concerning the exhibits' admissibility.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="3" id="fid3">3. Plaintiff claimed during his deposition that, after retrieving a camera from his car, he returned to the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager again. (Davis Dep. 17:22-23.) Plaintiff did not recall the entire conversation he had with the manager, but remembered the manager would not allow him to stay in the restaurant with the puppy. (Davis Dep. 18:4-6.) Ms. Garduno, however, testified in her deposition that Plaintiff never returned to the restaurant. (Garduno Dep. 49:25.) This dispute is irrelevant to the Court's decision and therefore the Court need not resolve it.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="4" id="fid4">4. The parties do not dispute that the puppy received a service dog tag prior to the alleged denial of accommodation. Plaintiff submits as an exhibit a picture of a dog tag with the words "Rancho Cucamonga Service Dog 009," and asserts this is a "close up of just Barack's service dog tag." (Davis Decl. ¶ 7, Ex. 2.) Defendants also present testimony that the Department of Animal Care and Services for the City of Rancho Cucamonga issued a service dog tag to the puppy prior to the alleged denial of accommodation. (Hintz Decl. ¶ 7.)</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="5" id="fid5">5. Defendants' service dog expert, Ms. Montrucchio, also testified that the puppy would have been a "safety risk" at 13 weeks. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 18.) Ms. Montrucchio is a Field Service Representative of the Department of Animal Care and Services for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. (<i>Id.</i> ¶ 2.)</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="6" id="fid6">6. Defendants claim Plaintiff has refused to allow Defendants' expert, Ms. Montrucchio, to examine the puppy, in violation of Rule 26, and include as an exhibit a letter from Plaintiff's counsel arguing an expert examination of the puppy would not be admissible evidence. (Coates Decl. ¶ 10, Ex. 12.) Nevertheless, Ms. Montrucchio provides her expert assessment — based on the facts available — that the puppy is not a trained service animal. (Montrucchio Decl. ¶ 9.) As Plaintiff does not claim the puppy is a trained service animal, but admits the puppy was still "in training," the Court does not find this fact to be in dispute. (Davis Dep. 5:11-12.)</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="7" id="fid7">7. Plaintiff claims there are no federal or state certification requirements for trainers of service dogs. (Davis Decl. ¶ 8 (citing <i>Green v. Housing Auth.,</i> <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/994%20F.Supp.%201253" style="color: #00528b;">994 F.Supp. 1253</a></cites>, 1256 (D.Or. 1998)).) Even if correct, Plaintiff does not provide any expert testimony or declarations to support his claim that he was qualified under industry standards to train the puppy to be a service dog.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="8" id="fid8">8. After much questioning, Plaintiff did claim to have read the book "Service Dog Training," though he could not recall the page length of the book. (Davis Dep. 16:22-25.)</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="9" id="fid9">9. Plaintiff claims to dispute this fact, but does not provide any conflicting evidence. (<i>See</i> SIG ¶ 14.) Rather, Plaintiff claims this fact is "irrelevant" and that he was "in total compliance with the law." <i>Id.</i></footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">

<footnote fid="12" id="fid12">12. A condition which is chronic or merely in remission can still constitute a qualifying disability. 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(j)(1)(vii). Thus, even if Plaintiff's disability resulted in variable degrees of impairment, he could still bring a claim under the ADA.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="13" id="fid13">13. Defendants cite to a previous defense verdict against Plaintiff as evidence that Plaintiff does not have a qualifying disability, and request the Court to take judicial notice of the Order in that case. (<i>See</i> Requ. for Judicial Not. Ex. 17.) Whether Plaintiff suffered from a disability in February 2007, however, neither proves nor disproves Plaintiff suffered from a qualifying disability at the time of the instant alleged failure to accommodate in December 2008. Thus, while the previous defense verdict is noticeable, <i>see</i> Federal Rule of Evidence 201, and while the Court therefore grants the Request for Judicial Notice to the extent that Defendants attempt to assert issue preclusion here, the Court does not rely on this evidence in reaching its decision.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="14" id="fid14">14. In fact, Plaintiff need not demonstrate multiple impairments resulting from his physical disability to show the condition "substantially limits" a major life activity. Here, Plaintiff's inability to sleep could on its own establish Plaintiff has a qualifying disability under the ADA. <i>See</i> 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(j)(1)(viii).</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="15" id="fid15">15. The Ninth Circuit has found that a private entity's "certified" service requirement for service dogs does not necessarily violate the ADA. In <i>Lentini v. California Center for the Arts,</i> the Ninth Circuit found that an art center's failure to accommodate a patron accompanied by a certified service dog violated the ADA. <cites><a href="https://www.leagle.com/cite/370%20F.3d%20837" style="color: #00528b;">370 F.3d 837</a></cites> (9th Cir.2004). In finding the center did not reasonably accommodate the plaintiff, however, the court did not criticize or reject the center's policy requiring service animals to be "certified." Under that policy, "certified" meant any animal "officially trained" to assist a person with a disability. <i>Id.</i> at 840. Thus, the Court finds it can consider industry standards for certifying service dog trainers and licensing service dogs in reviewing the evidence here.</footnote><div style="font-size: 0px; height: 20px;">
</div>
<footnote fid="16" id="fid16">16. In his Opposition, Plaintiff asserts that "telling an African-American he must eat outside is precisely the type of discrimination [P]laintiff faced in growing up in the South." (Opp'n at 12.) Plaintiff misstates the facts, however. Defendants' manager never denied Plaintiff entry to the restaurant. In her deposition, Ms. Garduno stated she told Plaintiff he could take the food "to-go" or leave his puppy outside. (Garduno Dep. 40:9-17.) Plaintiff seems to argue that race discrimination constitutes the extreme or outrageous conduct necessary to establish an IIED claim. <i>Id.</i> As Plaintiff offers no evidence suggesting Ms. Garduno denied entry to Plaintiff on account of his race, the Court finds this argument has no basis in fact.</footnote></div>

<br />
WHY does this seem wrong to us?<br />
<br />
First of all--- there is not any duty for any store or outlet to ONLY SELL rescued animals. Even though we are well aware that the proponents can claim there is a rational basis for it, the evidence would prove that such tactics really means that the non profit sector seeks to benefit from usually having to BUY such animals themselves, in order to sell them.<br />
<br />
Oh sure, people can go to shelters and not find what they want. They can go to rescues and not find what they want. So rescues then have to scramble to find what people WANT--- and what most people want, is some animal that is not damaged, not aggressive, not dumb, not untrained, not a barking forever, untrained, house soiling, overly scared, overly timid, biting, overly hyper, overly sick, overly anything bad (as in behavior, health, temperament, manners,etc.)<br />
<br />
And no matter what the rescues claim, and the rest of the AR people claim, there are some rehomed dogs that are ok. But for the most part, people don't surrender their dogs to shelters that much. They just try to give it away or charge some small fee by pushing it on Craigslist or online. WHY??<br />
<br />
Because everyone knows that shelter animals face daunting odds. There only has to be one seriously ill dog with distemper or parvo to make it spread to other animals, especially puppies, and those animal which were not vaccinated.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8m-89PewE6o4fPOGO84Zmm-9LwdD_nCtXiZKVU0f70GmaHNec_O90XljOWflq_4QAoM-K2B8eLTdjmVjVju0BiEzlxzH9XuVkrcXhMEvulmLk11VGG2DF3z5yUGqS6qvfos-oM5oR4-0/s1600/1-got-this.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="665" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8m-89PewE6o4fPOGO84Zmm-9LwdD_nCtXiZKVU0f70GmaHNec_O90XljOWflq_4QAoM-K2B8eLTdjmVjVju0BiEzlxzH9XuVkrcXhMEvulmLk11VGG2DF3z5yUGqS6qvfos-oM5oR4-0/s320/1-got-this.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Some people can't even STAND to go into a shelter. What is normally there is not something most people would want, but there are exceptions. We have owned shelter dogs, but they were not without their faults. However, having done animal rescue for years in the past, we are very aware of how the game is played. And in the end, many non profits exist to make the profit. They pay no taxes. [In order to pay NO taxes, they must obtain the Federal tax exemption; failure to do this means there is no tax exemption on the proceeds received. Meaning, the animal you buy from they is a TAXABLE transaction to the buyer, and the proceeds are taxable to the seller. There is no non profit "writeoff" for such a transaction.]<br />
<br />
Non profits can claim whatever they want, but unless they are highly FUNDED--- and have TONS of donations--- they are going to be pushing off dogs onto people that THEY want people to have. In order to really match dogs to people, most rescued animals are NOT suitable for novice owners at all.<br />
<br />
In fact rescues should almost never sell dogs to novice owners for no other reason than the new owner won't know what the hell they are doing. <br />
<br />
Last but not least, the new proposed law for California (that all retail sold dog/cat/kitten etc) MUST be "rescued" or shelter animals --- is likely not legal, especially when it is for the entire STATE.<br />
We have seen no one address this issue, but believe as applied it would be illegal. When non profits are making the laws, then regulating the laws, then controlling the sourcing of animals, the sales of animals and the oversight of what can be purchased, we believe that is far too broad of a reach as far as the general public goes, since there would be little to no proof that such tactics will reduce either overall animal populations (such as unwanted cats) or that it would even affect known shelters, since no one knows how many shelters or rescues even exist, because registration and oversight does not even exist for rescued animals. The only plausible database is that of the state/or county, and with the software used by such entities, it is very easy to manipulate that software. <br />
<br />
Meaning, it is not a big deal to be able to manipulate the numbers of animals claimed to have come "in" vs the numbers going "out." All they have to do is open the gate, and let out a bunch of animals that they claimed they took in--- leave. Or they can drop them off instead of taking them in. Most parts of the city do not have strays running the streets. <br />
<br />
Only in certain locations, usually the poor neighborhoods, will you see animals running the streets. Like in Los Angeles in the barrio, dogs are routinely brought in and killed and then new dogs are obtained to replace the ones AC took. This solves nothing except to remove them from the streets. The key to stopping this is for local efforts to alter the dogs in poor areas. It is that simple. But Los Angeles gave up on that long ago, after their foolish idea was put in place believing they would become "no kill" in 10 years? Very stupid. Of course it would never work if you don't put 10 trucks for spay/neuter in the barrio areas.

What's NEW for 2016???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well...........in Arizona, the pet store ban on stores selling any commercial kennel dogs/pups in several areas was CHANGED apparently--- by taking down BSL type law (against certain breeds) <b>and then allowing sales of commercially bred animals in some pet stores</b>.............AND unknown to many---<b><span style="color: red;">HSUS did NOT oppose this</span></b>, DESPITE HSUS claiming to hate bully dogs (HSUS became friends with Michael Vick--remember?) and HSUS HATES allegedly "milled" dogs because HSUS is still going city to city trying to get every single city to stop every single pet store that might ever get a commercial kennel dog to sell??? Well we gotta agree--it's legal to sell commercial kennel animals.....we are not in favor of abuse, BUT if it is legal to sell such animals, we believe they can sell them. And by pointing out ONLY the "bad" seeds does not make every single seller a bad seller.</div>

NOT suprisingly, attorney gets many many fake calls from all over the USA. Almost none of these people have an actual case, but pretend they do. They then take up attorney's time in speaking to them. In most of these cases, attorney never even calls them back. This has gone on for years and we get calls from places like Yemen (where the hell is that!) and back in the South; also we get calls from people we know that are surveilling the attorney. It goes with the territory.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's be clear on who is pushing the nationwide "no sales in pet stores except rehomed/shelter animals"...............that is the group above, HSUS and CAPS and a few others like Best Friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Essentially Best Friends has a known sordid background based on what appears to be cult type issues. This has been researched and is widely known online if one looks it up. Additionally, Best Friends is very keen on working with HSUS and ASPCA. Both ASPCA and HSUS paid out millions to the Feld Entertainment group after suing in a frivolous lawsuit for over 14 years, in Federal Court--on alleged civil RICO (racketeering) charges..............Needless to say, attorney fees were awarded, as it was found the activists PAID a Plaintiff to BE the Plaintiff. This was planned by activist groups and their attorneys were also sued. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
HSUS and others are now pushing to outlaw the sales of any pets or animals (dog/cat) in any pet store or likely, any commercial place. But they would exempt "rehomed,rescue and animals from a nonprofit" and try to claim it's rational basis under constitutional law. </div>

What's NEW for 2016???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well...........in Arizona, the pet store ban on stores selling any commercial kennel dogs/pups in several areas was CHANGED apparently--- by taking down BSL type law (against certain breeds) <b>and then allowing sales of commercially bred animals in some pet stores</b>.............AND unknown to many---<b><span style="color: red;">HSUS did NOT oppose this</span></b>, DESPITE HSUS claiming to hate bully dogs (HSUS became friends with Michael Vick--remember?) and HSUS HATES allegedly "milled" dogs because HSUS is still going city to city trying to get every single city to stop every single pet store that might ever get a commercial kennel dog to sell??? Well we gotta agree--it's legal to sell commercial kennel animals.....we are not in favor of abuse, BUT if it is legal to sell such animals, we believe they can sell them. And by pointing out ONLY the "bad" seeds does not make every single seller a bad seller.</div>

NOT suprisingly, attorney gets many many fake calls from all over the USA. Almost none of these people have an actual case, but pretend they do. They then take up attorney's time in speaking to them. In most of these cases, attorney never even calls them back. This has gone on for years and we get calls from places like Yemen (where the hell is that!) and back in the South; also we get calls from people we know that are surveilling the attorney. It goes with the territory.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's be clear on who is pushing the nationwide "no sales in pet stores except rehomed/shelter animals"...............that is the group above, HSUS and CAPS and a few others like Best Friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Essentially Best Friends has a known sordid background based on what appears to be cult type issues. This has been researched and is widely known online if one looks it up. Additionally, Best Friends is very keen on working with HSUS and ASPCA. Both ASPCA and HSUS paid out millions to the Feld Entertainment group after suing in a frivolous lawsuit for over 14 years, in Federal Court--on alleged civil RICO (racketeering) charges..............Needless to say, attorney fees were awarded, as it was found the activists PAID a Plaintiff to BE the Plaintiff. This was planned by activist groups and their attorneys were also sued. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
HSUS and others are now pushing to outlaw the sales of any pets or animals (dog/cat) in any pet store or likely, any commercial place. But they would exempt "rehomed,rescue and animals from a nonprofit" and try to claim it's rational basis under constitutional law. </div>

Hunting, Fishing, Birds and Petting Zoos too...Yes, it's true...........selling or buying a pet in some cities has become illegal.<br />
<br />
Especially if it's from a pet store. The Humane Society of the USA (HSUS) knows that it would be illegal for states to make laws that interfere with interstate commerce.<br />
<br />
So HSUS--which, by the way-- was one of the national groups, including ASPCA-- to pay out millions of $$ to the Feld Entertainment group involving the circus, after civil RICO (<span style="color: blue;">racketeering</span> charges) were levied against them in the 14yr long Federal Court litigation that found the activist groups<span style="color: purple;"> had paid the Plaintiff to go forward with lawsuit</span> against the circus.......... <br />
<br />
In any event, HSUS knows that commercial kennels are legal and are under federal APHIS control. HSUS wants more investigators for such kennels but let's be serious--with our economy, that's not likely high on list of the government, and likely will never be high on the list with the way things are going. HSUS then decided to go after the sales of commercial kennel animals, <i>by telling activists how to petition to stop the sales of such animals.</i><br />
<br />
It would have to be done by going city to city, because to do it as a state law would be blatantly illegal. Apparently the activists don't bother to figure out that a state law would be illegal. Currently there are 4-5 Federal lawsuits on this issue, for example, Chicago? And in Oceanside CA, the city attorney has published a synopsis of <b>how creating a new city code section to prohibit sales of certain sourced animals may result and likely will result, in a Federal lawsuit against the city.</b><br />
<br />
What people really do not understand, is the basics of the supply/demand, and how it does not really work when one takes shelter animals and tries to make them<b> the source </b>of all pets. A shelter is not a pet store, even though you or others may wish it was one. A shelter is not a viable commercial entity and it was never designed to be one. <br />
<br />
The rescuing of animals and pets<i> is not supposed to be</i> a commercial enterprise, they are basically non profit status social welfare based. <br />
Yet by watching the animal rights activists, led by HSUS, ASPCA et al, they are led down the path that rescues/non profits should take over the commercial business of the pet trade.<br />
<br />
In case you haven't noticed, non profits are heavily working in tandem with major producers of dog food, chicken food, anything related to pets, animals and selling. Various lawsuits between Purina and Blue Buffalo, where Blue was claiming they had no chicken meal in their food when they in fact, did [Blue Buffalo is now subject to at least 7 lawsuits in Federal Courts, probably for fraud in labeling the product-- we haven't read the lawsuits/covering it up rather than admitting it]; tainted animal treats coming from overseas, tainted pet food coming from overseas, etc. Pet food is the largest grossing part of the pet trade, and most pet stores make the largest share of income from selling pet food.<br />
<br />
Every one of these things is just another opportunity for non profits to make $$ by partnering with another business (a commercial business) and then helping to "promote" their own enterprise. This is done with any animal related product. Just watch TV and look online.<br />
<br />
With about 76 million dogs and 85 million cats owned, one can see significance of pet food sales. Of the dogs, only perhaps up to 17% are obtained from shelters. (That is an entire story in itself, see petdefense.wordpress.com if you want to know why, since the majority of people killed by canines were rehomed, rescue or shelter dogs. This mathematical red flag is enough proof of circumstantial evidence that could likely be admitted into court. That means odds of being killed by this source of canines is about 500% greater; and<i> that doesn't include bites</i>, just death.)<br />
<br />
===========================================================<br />
BUT---as can be seen, MANY of these activist goals involve taking out economic industries such as fishing, hunting, farming, testing for research <b>AND</b> <b>the breeding/sales of animals and pets..........see # 10 below in the 12 Step List?? </b><br />
<br />
Yes, HSUS, ASPCA, PETA and friends, want no breeding of pets, they don't want any animals or pets or fish,etc. to be bred--if they <i>are not indigenous to the area</i>.<br />
===========================================================<br />
<br />
So any imported flocks, imported sheep, imported fish, you name it, should be illegal according to HSUS and the activists. HSUS tries to pretend they don't really do this, but yes, this is exactly what they do, while fleecing everyone to give them $20/month by credit card. (Note: PETA kills about 90% of all animals they take in and believe the best gift one can give a homeless animal is to KILL it by euth.) HSUS has tried for years to get Congress to make non indigenous life forms illegal to own, buy, or sell. This includes birds, fish, horses and probably any other species alive.<br />
<br />
And this is proven clearly in Supreme Court cases involving HSUS, where HSUS lost on First Amendment grounds, preemption, and more. Those cases involved videos, violent videos and children, sales of videos; which agency can regulate downer animals (such as pigs), and sex fetish videos being sold into stream of commerce [but was used against a historical video on how dog fighting originated nationally.]<br />
<br />
HSUS was attempting to carve out the exception to regulate by making violent videos into the same category as pornography. If successful, HSUS would then keep moving forward by applying this to anything with animals in it--movies (outlaw animal actors), rodeos (outlaw rodeos), petting zoos (this has already been done in certain CA cities), outlaw the circus (Barnum/Bailey will stop using elephants in 2018+ several Southern CA cities have outlawed the circus from performing) <b><span style="color: red;">and now</span></b>, outlaw sales of animals from commercial kennels (this apparently has been passed in more than 30 cities nationwide.)<br />
<br />
This cross marketing and propaganda campaign nationwide has not been lost on us. The activists have made it known decades ago, and earlier, that they believe:<br />

The legal battle over Onion the dog ended Thursday, nearly two years after he mauled and killed a young Henderson boy. <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">Henderson officials, who have long sought to euthanize Onion, turned the dog over to the Lexus Project, an animal rights group based in New York. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">According to a statement released late Thursday, city officials decided to give up the court fight “in an effort to spare family members the grief of reliving the tragic events of the dog attack that killed” 1-year-old Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan.</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: inherit;">The attack occurred on April 27, 2012, as the boy celebrated his birthday with his father, grandmother and other family members at their Henderson home. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit;"><b>After the incident, the city declared the dog vicious, and the owner turned him over to be euthanized. </b></span><br />

In December, the Nevada Supreme Court returned the case to Clark County District Court for an evidentiary hearing to determine the facts of the case and ownership of the animal, a 120-pound mixed breed. <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">At issue was whether Onion’s owner, Elizabeth Keller, voluntarily surrendered ownership to the city on the day of the incident.</span><br />

“The litigation for Onion has been dismissed, and he has been relocated permanently to a rescue,” she said. “And out of respect to the family of Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan, we will make no further comment on this subject.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thus, it alleged that her lawsuit was essentially for HER and not the non profit. However the case was supposedly starting trial on 7/28/14,but Grace dropped the case and never went to trial; a bench warrant was issued against the CEO and eventually, our understanding is that the case was dismissed with prejudice. [Our sources also indicate that prior, back in Lassen County, Grace was offered up to $800,000 to go away, we have no idea on what terms, but Grace refused the offer. That had to have been before the trial in Los Angeles was set up.] </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After that, apparently Grace's problems grew, and she and her non profit were evicted from the ranch in El Dorado County. The bank attorney used Twitter to claim many facts (bad facts it appears) about Grace/the non profit. Grace admitted the non profit was under investigation, and bank attorney later claimed the CEO (Ms. De Caprio)-- was siphoning off donation funds to herself--because CEO De Caprio says, she was owed $$ that she had previously loaned to the non profit. To be quite frank, the CEO used the horses taken in the seizure, to gain donations from the public. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Recently, El Dorado County held a post seizure hearing, since Grace still had some of the seized horses; and although both original owners from Lassen responded, neither of them could afford the bail out costs, and the ranch owner is still not allowed to have animals as Lassen has kept his purported "abuse" case open and has so far purposely delayed the trial (likely creating a failure to have a speedy trial after almost 4yr); the People have no decent witnesses, no experts; but they would likely put up fake ones if they had to, however, the key witness, the Grace Foundation vet, has already declared they would have to arrest him to try and force him to testify, and we doubt the CEO from Grace would testify for Lassen after the debacle from Los Angeles;the case has gone from sensation to nothing but corruption exposed on part of bank or banks, and the bank attorney Timothy M. Ryan of Irvine who was working on the case, and with The Grace Foundation. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is still a viable malpractice claim on Ryan by Grace if she hasn't fumbled it, as Ryan was actually representing Grace in 2011, a direct conflict of interest. Additionally, Ryan sued Grace for defamation/trade libel and we believe he actually won. The truth of what the Ryan firm actually did, has already been stated in the bankruptcy case; and currently, the third District court of Appeals held that ranch owner's appeal could not be decided by the Court because the purported action supposedly involved an interlocutory issue. One of the questions is whether the ruling on the "summary adjudication" by Ryan, leading to an order or judgment in state court, on issue of how much land (rancher's raw land) became the bank's land is questionable, since the bank appears to have an order that they ended up with a reformed deed of trust over land which they not only never owned, but which had no lien on it at all. Their equitable lien, if any, would have to be a money judgment specified with a specific amount, which they never got. One can see this is complicated, at least to anyone who is not a bank or real estate practitioner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Bank tried to sell the property with notice of liens and then withdrew the sale. Due to improper survey, the improvements were actually on the rancher's land, and not on a separate parcel area. Because rancher refused to sign what the bank tried to force him to sign (we cannot recall what the document was) this case then became a huge nightmare; ranch owner agreed to "turnover" in bankruptcy court against his attorney's advice, and the bank attorney worked with Grace to oust the owner by getting horses seized and booting owner and using a fake Receiver.... 4 years later, a different Judge allowed rancher back onto the land and now bank or banks are trying to get a ruling on clarifying what last Judge said, when Judge said the Receivership was not done properly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hell, the Receiver was completely illegal, because Ryan was the Receiver, and acted for the Receiver at nearly all times. There are many words for what that could be called and none of them are pretty. Because we only state the truth, Ryan can claim whatever he wants, but we actually KNOW documents were taken out of the Superior Court files, switched, re-written, and handed to Judge who rubber stamped it all. That Judge later recused himself. Two court clerks were fired. Likely the wrong clerks, we believe the bad clerk is still there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Knowing how slow the AG works, it is not likely the CEO would get into huge trouble from past cases we have seen. It is the CEO and Bd of Director's fault that the non profit suffered though, because CEO acted improperly in not putting decisions before the Board--and then apparently CEO used bank attorney to help seize animals improperly. Of course CEO claims it was not her fault. Partly true, as the bank attorney's receiver was at fault, as was Lassen County for allowing it to happen. So bank attorney is at at fault as well, since he acted as the Receiver, the physical Receiver was just a figurehead. Justice can only be seved when bank attorney is forced to face the improper actions he took, and eventually, that day should come.</span><br />

WAITING CAN RUIN YOUR CASE!!It has been this attorney's experience that many owners wait until after animals are seized to try and get help on their cases, thus the notices (assuming they were properly given) involving hearings and due process can be more of a difficult issue, especially if there was no hearing, or if the hearing was already lost, or the hearing was not done properly. Although in many cases, the proponents will result to deceit and stealth in order to seize anything, it is possible that part of the procedure may have been done correctly. Thus it is very crucial that an assessment is done of all actions taken by the seizing entity as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
We recently heard about the defendant (an attorney) who was purportedly convicted on ONE felony count, whereupon the State Bar claimed that such conviction amounted to moral turpitude. We know of other cases where defendants have been accused of beating up a girlfriend, and even that was not moral turpitude because he took a plea for another type of crime. So for an animal negligence case to rise to the level of moral turpitude, it is not exactly the same as if you left your kid in a car and it got sick and almost collapsed? Or even if you accidentally forgot and left your dog in the car and it actually expired? <br />
<br />
Judges tend to want to find "hoarders" guilty in many instances, however, animal hoarders in many cases, are simply people with a facet of OCD which is considered different than ordinary OCD, but there is no known scientific theory, only professional and semi-scientific guesswork. To us, the OCD part means it is a defense since OCD is all about the brain, and where non normal behavior is seen in relation to the actions (claiming to love animals and then purposely not feeding them for example), we can see that there is a direct discrepancy which is brain related. <br />
<br />
Anyone accused of a Penal Code violation related to animals should call an animal law defense attorney immediately, and hopefully before any seizure is done.<br />

Below is information that was posted to the above site link, most of which is animal rights leaning. We have long noticed a tendency for the site to post articles, and cases which seem to take the side of activists but will skimp on the cases that favor the winning side, if the winner was human and not the "animal." We also never use the term "companion" animals, we always use either "animal" "pet" or "owned" animal.<br />
Owners have paramount rights over animals, period. Animal rights people believe that people should have no ownership of animals, that animals should not be used in entertainment, that animals should not be used for food or anything else that humans may want or like. Such as horses pulling carriages in Central Park in New York; sled dog races, the circus, the rodeo, etc. The fact that some people may be negligent will not change animals into children. The word "guardian" is not something we use either. A guardian is lifted from child welfare statutes. It confers NO OWNERSHIP, therefore we do not use that term. It is an activist term to which none of us subscribe.<br />

Overview of Laws Regulating Rescue and Foster Care Programs for Companion Animals<br />Kristen Pariser (2014)</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
"The types of people who work in rescue and foster care programs are often very passionate and caring; running these organizations requires a lot of patience and access to resources. However, there has been a lack of regulations and oversight in monitoring these groups. Additional legislation defining these organizations and laws to require licensing and inspections will ensure all organizations are accountable to the animals they shelter."<br />
<br />
"Although there are few states that currently define these groups, other general laws on animal facilities may be able to be applied. <i>The first step to becoming a rescue or a foster care provider is to be licensed.</i> Because there is no national law regulating these organizations, the requirements will vary from one state to another, and even from one city to another. In some states, a rescue or foster home may be regulated like a commercial kennel or similar to a shelter. The organizations may be subject to inspections from the Department of Agriculture or they may opt to work under contract as an agent of the shelter. Some states will have no regulations and simply leave it up to the city or county to regulate permitting and enforcement of the rescue and foster groups."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<i><span style="color: blue;">Note by author of this blog</span><span style="color: #222222;">:</span></i><span style="color: #222222;"> In CA it is not generally required to be "licensed" in general in order to "rescue" an animal such as a dog, cat, bird by the State; some cities/counties may require a local license but generally, shelters do not require a 501(c)(3) to pull animals necessarily; and rehoming without a 501(c)(3) is usually not illegal, since non profits can exist WITHOUT a 501(c)(3). Animal control limit laws usually do not exempt rescues, so some rescues warehouse in rural areas. Kennel permits are usually quite expensive and are discretionary approval based in most cases. Often septic systems are required and a host of other codes in regard to building will apply. Often the permit application fee is not refundable and can be thousands of dollars. For exotics, it is an entirely different setup with federal regulations and is both somewhat complex and difficult, especially where activists do not want many species to be owned, bought or sold, even bred species such as tropical birds or fish. </span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
"Once the organization becomes licensed the group will need to acquire companion animals to begin their work saving and re-homing the animals. This can lead to issues because under the law animals are still considered property and can be the subject of contractual agreements. Disputes over ownership can happen. When this occurs a court will look to see if a valid contract was in place. Next, it will look at the terms of the contract and determine which party has breached those contract terms. Many shelters will contract with rescues and foster care providers and depending on how the contract is drafted, the shelter will either retain ownership of the animals or will transfer ownership over to the receiving party. A rescue group will also set up contractual agreements with their foster parent volunteers. Contracts with dog breeders can also become a problem if a rescue takes a dog surrendered by its owner when the animal should have been returned to the breeder according to its purchase contract."</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<i><span style="color: blue;">Note by blog author:</span></i><span style="color: #222222;"> We never use the word "foster parent" as no foster family is the 'parent' to an animal, period. An animal is not a child. It may be a temporary foster home, kennel or other setting, but in no instance is the fostering considered a parental unit. In fact, the foster entity normally is not ultimately responsible for the animal legally, but the rescue likely would be. SELECTING the foster unit may <i>cause further liability</i> to the rescue itself since a foster may not know what they are doing and then allow the animal to cause harm to a child or other prospective buyer. Further, legal issues can arise pitting the rescue against the actual buyer of the animal in the event that the rescue claims to still "own" the animal even when the buyer has already purchased it. Using the word "adoption" does not mean no ownership transfers. If a rescue claims to own property that has already been sold, then there was not a sale, but something else. These circumstances can cause expensive legal bills and should be avoided. This addresses the alleged "flipping" mentioned below, claiming that an animal is "resold" for "a profit."</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
"Pet flipping is also becoming an animal welfare concern in the world of adoptions. Pet flipping is where someone finds a dog for adoption and then turns around and re-sells the animal for a profit. Rescue and foster groups are now considering revising pet adoption contracts to prohibit adopters from re-homing an animal once it is adopted. This as a practical matter could be difficult to enforce and retaining certain rights over the animal after it is sold can possibly leave a rescue or foster open to further liabilities."</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<i><span style="color: blue;">Note by blog author:</span> </i><span style="color: #222222;">"Flipping" is constantly done by RESCUES. "For a profit" is simply the animal activists way of saying that selling an animal should NEVER result in a "profit." Well guess what? Many rescues sell animals for a profit. They only make money by selling animals and by gaining donations. If they don't get donations then they gain by selling the animal. If they cannot keep afloat by either means, then they shouldn't be in business, BECAUSE rescuing animals is quite expensive to do. If rescues are set up in BUSINESS, being a non profit does NOT mean they cannot make a profit. In fact, ASPCA and HSUS are huge examples of profit making "non profits" just like the huge cancer groups that take millions of donations. Their profits are used to keep their work going in theory but the reality is, HSUS for example, spends plenty on pension funding, lobbying, and advertising on TV. So much so, that HSUS has bragged for years on end, that they go from the state capitols to the Congress to the courts.</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
"The legal complexities however don’t just end with licensing and acquiring companion animals. Rescues and foster care providers must also abide by several other laws when operating their non-profit organization. A majority of the states have a spaying and neutering requirement that applies to both shelters and other releasing agencies. In addition, there has been a trend in animal rescue groups to travel across state lines and bring animals from high-kill shelters in the south to the north for fostering. Some northern states have instituted new laws and regulations in response, which may require quarantine, health certificates or additional veterinary inspections to help reduce the spread of contagious disease."</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<i><span style="color: blue;">Note by blog author</span><span style="color: #222222;">:</span></i><span style="color: #222222;"> There are far more laws than several. Activist animal rights people are CONSTANTLY telling people how we owners should do everything, they insist on telling us where we MUST obtain a pet. They insist on claiming we have no right to choice as to what we buy. That we must all buy what they want US to own. HA. Not in our opinion.</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
"Many cities and counties may also have pet limit ordinances that limit how many pets an individual can keep at one given time. Courts have upheld these statutes as being constitutional, therefore, rescues that use foster homes will need to be sure that all volunteers abide by the statutes. In addition to pet limit laws, private nuisance and zoning laws can limit the number of animals that can be kept in residential zones. Rescues and fosters should also be aware of local tethering laws. Some cities may have anti-tether laws that prohibit tethering and others may permit it under limited circumstances. All rescue and foster volunteers should be sure to have the appropriate type of housing for securing the companion animals that they house."</div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
"Another issue that rescues and foster groups can run in to is breed specific legislation, which will prohibit owning and keeping certain breeds of dogs that have been deemed dangerous. Rescue groups wanting to help those breeds of dogs will have to operate outside of the city limits where breed specific legislation has been enacted."</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17.27272605896px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<i><span style="color: blue;">Note by blog author:</span></i><span style="color: #222222;"> BSL laws, while disfavored, do not deem all dogs listed as necessarily dangerous, but simply are lists of dogs that the city or county </span><i style="color: #222222;">claims are dangerous</i><span style="color: #222222;"> due to the statistics used by insurance companies, based on dog bites. Thus, certain breeds can be on a list even if NOT deemed dangerous. Like Saint Bernard, Great Pyr, and others.</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
"Regardless of which dog breeds a rescue or foster group works with, it is important to have liability insurance. A majority of states have strict liability dog bite statutes, which mean that even if a rescue or foster volunteer does not intend for someone to get hurt, the owner or keeper of the dog will still be held liable for damages caused by the dog."</div>
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;"><b>Note by blog author:</b></span><span style="color: #222222;"> In California, the dog's owner is subject to strict liability. If a rescue takes in a dog, it owns the dog. If the rescue fails to tell the truth about a biting dog, or a dog with dangerous propensities, or a dog that has bitten many times, the rescue is in trouble. If the rescue tells an owner it will not own the dog but will find it a home, and knows of the bad behavior of the dog, the rescue can still be sued. No rescue should be rehoming dogs with questionable or known bad propensities. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;">Most rescues are NOT professional dog handlers, dog behaviorists, or dog professional anything, period. <b>Which is why we see "rescue" people in the news, getting KILLED by having 3-7 rescues dogs or even 1 rescue dog, which kills the rescuer, seriously maims the rescuer, or may even kill children.</b> In most cases, the killed or maimed "rescuer" was female.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Over half of dog-human fatalities is likely attributable to REHOMED dogs. This fact is not broadcast widely, </span><span style="color: red;">[because animal rights activists don't want to admit that rehomed dogs can present huge liability problems, legal issues, behavioral issues, health issues and even huge danger]</span><span style="color: blue;"> but when only about 15-18% of dogs are sourced from rescued/rehomed/shelter-- and they are responsible (in fatalties) at over 50% of the killings nationwide, we can see that the chances of it being "coincidental" is impossible.</span></b><span style="color: #222222;"> Note that nothing was stated about "breed" of dog, despite the generic "pitbull" label assigned to most dog attacks in the media.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;">If only 37 dogs<i> per year</i> kill 37 people, it is nearly impossible to find that half of the killings would be done by the minimal percent (15-18%) of rescued/rehomed/shelter animals. Yet because it is true, <b>we can see that this huge unlikely fact means that rehomed/rescue/shelter animals pose far greater risk of harm to people than just regular dogs obtained as puppies, NOT from shelters, which stay with a family from day one. </b>As yet another example of this, a Bay Area guy bought a dog from the shelter; it was pregnant apparently, and he kept the dog and at least one puppy. He ended up with 4-5 of such dogs, and they ended up killing his step-grandson in the garage. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"> First, no one should be keeping 5 dogs in the garage. Second, no one should leave a child with even 1-2 dogs, much less more. Third, the door to the house leading to garage was obviously not secure. Fourth, the owners should have known better than to keep more than 2 of such dogs when they didn't know anything about the breed, propensity, or other behaviors of such shelter animals. </span><span style="color: red;">It was NOT surprising to find the owner was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. </span><span style="color: #222222;"> Rescued animals killed the child.</span><br />

In the first case, even if a defendant was careless, that does not necessarily amount to gross criminal negligence IN California, which requires the standard (to meet the burden of proof.) General negligence is not sufficient.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-size: 16.3636360168457px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
<em><a href="https://www.animallaw.info/case/shotts-v-city-madison" style="color: #304389;">Shotts v. City of Madison</a></em>, 2013-KM-01108-COA, 2014 WL 4347582 (Miss. Ct. App. Sept. 2, 2014). Defendant was charged with animal cruelty after burning his girlfriend's dog while giving it a bath. He said it was an accident. There were no other witnesses, and the attending veterinarian testified that the dog's injuries were consistent with defendant's account. Defendant was nevertheless convicted after the county court <i>suggested he could be guilty of animal cruelty if he had “carelessly” hurt the dog.</i> </div>
<div style="font-family: Lato, Arial, Helvetica, 'Nimbus Sans L', sans-serif; font-size: 16.3636360168457px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">
Instead, the appeals court found the lower court applied the wrong legal standard. The 2011 animal cruelty statute, since repealed, that applied in this case required proof beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant acted maliciously. Since the prosecution failed to meet that burden, the Mississippi Court of Appeals reversed and rendered the defendant's conviction. Justice James dissents finding that there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction.</div>
We didn't bother to read this case below, because ALDF uses a lot of the same attorneys that HSUS and cronies use, so if there is a way to "tweak" something, they usually do it. Doesn't mean success in every case (such as saying chimps have human rights due to their cognitive ability) as animals are still considered as property in the United States.<br />

<a href="https://www.animallaw.info/case/animal-legal-defense-fund-v-otter" style="color: #304389;"><em>Animal Legal Def. Fund v. Otter</em></a>, 1:14-CV-00104-BLW, 2014 WL 4388158 (D. Idaho Sept. 4, 2014). In a ‘hold your tongue and challenge now’ First Amendment challenge to an Idaho statute that criminalizes undercover investigations and videography at “agricultural production facilities,” the Animal Legal Defense Fund, as well as various other organizations and individuals, (collectively, “ALDF”), brought suit. The State defendants, Governor Butch Otter and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, moved to dismiss the ALDF's claims. The claims against the Governor were dismissed under 11th Amendment immunity because the ALDF failed to explain the requisite connection between the Governor and enforcement of section 18–7024. The court also found that since the ALDF failed to allege a concrete plan to violate subsection (e), it lacked standing to challenge section 18–7042(1)(e) and the claim in regards to that provision was therefore dismissed. However, the ALDF’s First Amendment, bare animus Equal Protection, and preemption claims survived the motion to dismiss.</div>

<a href="https://www.animallaw.info/case/defenders-wildlife-v-jewell" style="color: #304389;"><em>Defenders of Wildlife v. Jewell</em></a>, CV 12-1833 (ABJ), 2014 WL 4714847 (D.D.C. Sept. 23, 2014). In 2012, a rule transferred management of the gray wolf in Wyoming from federal control to state control. Plaintiffs moved for summary judgment, and maintained that the decision was arbitrary and capricious because Wyoming's regulatory mechanisms were inadequate to protect the species, the level of genetic exchange shown in the record did not warrant delisting, and the gray wolf was endangered within a significant portion of its range. Given the level of genetic exchange reflected in the record, the Court decided not to disturb the finding that the species had recovered, and it would not overturn the agency's determination that the species was not endangered or threatened within a significant portion of its range. However, the Court concluded that it was arbitrary and capricious for the Service to rely on the state's nonbinding promises to maintain a particular number of wolves when the availability of that specific numerical buffer was such a critical aspect of the delisting decision. <b>The Court therefore granted plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment in part</b>, denied it in part, and remanded the matter back to the agency.</div>

<a href="https://www.animallaw.info/case/united-pet-supply-inc-v-city-chattanooga-tenn" style="color: #304389;"><em>United Pet Supply, Inc. v. City of Chattanooga, Tenn</em></a>., 13-5181, 2014 WL 4637546 (6th Cir. Sept. 18, 2014). A private non-profit corporation that contracted with the City of Chattanooga to provide animal-welfare services, received complaints of neglect and unsanitary conditions at a mall pet store. Investigations revealed animals in unpleasant conditions, without water, and with no working air conditioner in the store. Animals were removed from the store, as were various business records, and the private, contracted non-profit began to revoke the store's pet-dealer permit. <b>Pet store owners brought a § 1983 suit in federal district court; </b>the Owners alleged that the removal of its animals and revocation of its pet-dealer permit without a prior hearing violated procedural due process and that the warrantless seizure of its animals and business records violated the Fourth Amendment. The district court’s entry of summary judgment was affirmed in part and reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.</div>

Due process requires an opportunity to be heard at a “meaningful time and in a meaningful manner.”Armstrong, 380 U.S. at 552, 85 S.Ct. 1187. The failure to provide a hearing prior to a license or permit revocation does not per se violate due process. See Barry v. Barchi, 443 U.S. 55, 65–66, 99 S.Ct. 2642, 61 L.Ed.2d 365 (1979) (holding that the summary suspension of a horse trainer's license without a prior hearing did not violate due process, but the failure to provide a timely post-suspension hearing did violate due process). But there is no dispute that never providing an opportunity to challenge a permit revocation violates due process. Thus, the revocation of Pet Supply's permit without a pre-deprivation hearing or a post-deprivation hearing violated due process.</div>

*18 No reasonable officer could believe that revoking a permit to do business without providing any pre-deprivation or post-deprivation remedy was constitutional.<br />

<pre> "This bill would provide that an involuntary deposit is made by the
abandonment or leaving of a live animal in or about any premises or
real property that has been vacated upon, or immediately preceding,
the termination of a lease or other rental agreement or foreclosure
of the property. The bill <b>would require any person or private entity
with whom a live animal is <i>involuntarily deposited</i> </b>to immediately
notify animal control officials for the purpose of retrieving the
animal."</pre>
<pre>Abandoned Pets
<u> DESCRIPTION</u>
Generally, a voluntary deposit of property occurs when a
party gives to another, with his or her consent, possession
of their personal property; whereas an involuntary deposit
of property occurs when the property is provided to another
by accident (without negligence) or by necessity.
This <b>bill would provide that an <i>involuntary</i> deposit is also
made by the <i>abandonment or leaving of a live animal</i> in or
about any premises or real property that has been vacated,
upon, or immediately preceding, the termination of a rental
agreement or foreclosure of the property. </b>
This bill would require any person or private entity with
whom a live animal is left, as specified, to immediately
notify animal control officials for the purpose of
retrieving the animal as provided by Penal Code Section
597.1, which authorizes any peace officer, humane society
officer, or animal control officer to take possession of
the abandoned animal and provide care for the animal until
the animal is deemed to be in a suitable condition to be
returned to the owner.
This bill would also authorize animal control officials to
secure a lien upon the animal for the purpose of recovering
the costs of rescuing it, as provided by Penal Code Section
597.1. </pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>It is pretty obvious that the person has to abandon and leave the animal</pre>
<pre>for this to apply. Owner never left them, the County, the Receiver and</pre>
<pre>the rescue/bank attorney SEIZED the animals about 1 month after getting</pre>
<pre>an exigency removal, without due process. There was no due process because</pre>
<pre>there was no order to give ownership up--the animals were only to be moved</pre>
<pre>in part, to the fairgrounds to determine if they needed vet care. The horses</pre>
<pre>were to be returned to owners and never were returned.</pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre></pre>
<pre>This bill does not mean bank attorney works with a rescue and AC to use</pre>
<pre>improper method of seizing animals while owner is still on property, and</pre>
<pre>bank attorney goes to court acting as the Receiver, to say he must gain</pre>
<pre>custody/remove due to exigency health of animals. Nope.</pre>
<pre></pre>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There cannot be an involuntary deposit of something which has already been</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
there with the owner for years, but bank is trying to TAKE property over which</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
they may have some equitable lien that was never proven up in $$ amount in a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
lawsuit brought by the one owning the property, not the bank?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As far as "foreclosures" go, there was/is no foreclosure, because banks do not have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
title they can prove; thus they had to use other means; Bank of America admitted they have no ownership. Banks have only a potential interest in improvements that are</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
situated on owner's land, and they did not partition it. They never filed a lis pendens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They claim they inherited the improvements somehow (which was in securitized trust.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That leaves Wells Fargo Bank. Bank attorney Ryan was REMOVED from the case.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He was replaced with other Bryan Cave attorneys. Those attorneys have done</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
very little in the case and <i>have not even tried to take the property.</i> There are some</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
key, hard issues with that, and they don't want to make it worse than it already is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
we guess, even though someone had offered the now-evicted rescue about $800,000 to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
settle the case and she refused.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Although El Dorado held post seizure hearing on the horses which WERE involuntarily</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
left at the ranch, the horses ARE evidence in a criminal case AND we have no idea</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
where they went. Lassen did not respond to the post seizure notice, but there are</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
still criminal charges pending on those horses. Do we really think Lassen can</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
convict owner by using pictures? They would have to get witnesses to lie. There</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
are no witnesses except interested parties like animal control wanting to save their</div>

Elderly llamas<br />
are not normally sheared down heavily at the wrong time of the year since their coat<br />
may not return properly. A well known veterinarian will be out to inspect the critters<br />
and the Humane officers will not be allowed entrance to the property, even though they<br />
(humane officers) already took pictures of the animals.<br />
<br />
Update: Apparently, the "humane officer" that is bent on creating problems for llama owner took even more action recently, and has attempted to get authority to search the residence premises.<br />
We will update when we find out what transpired. {NOTE: the "<i>humane officer" in question here, is now being sued in Eastern District Federal Court on many counts,</i> due to fact that such "officer" purposely worked with various employees employed by the city/or county,etc. and proceeded to ignore the correct California Penal Code law (PC 597 and 597.1) when they illegally seized in Plaqcer Couty, animals/personal possessions, failed to engage due process; then hired well known animal attorney from San Francisco who told Judge that it was the Legislature's fault that PC 597.1 had flaws [ that the owners did not get any due process]...What is ridiculous, is that this SAME attorney wrote that law and has continued to try and further add to that law in the legislature, year after year. Trust us, the law is one of the worse ever written, just made worse and worse year after year. That same attorney has also written the case text book used to teach animal law in California.<br />
He may know animal law, but he definitely knows little to nothing about due process.]<br />
<br />
The person owning the llamas has many many years of experience with llamas and they<br />
are not the same as shearing sheep. We seriously doubt any humane officer is going to know<br />
more about trimming or shearing than the llama owner in question. Typical animal rights<br />
humane officer trying to get a "bust" as usual.<br />
<br />
The result--- owner followed protocol, vet consulted, a few things done, animals viewed, everything was fine.<br />

Unbelievably, the CA legislature passed the law soon thereafter in the next year's session...... with all of the same crappola included. Thus, a "non profit" may be in public areas selling, giving away or displaying animals, but anyone else is not allowed to do so, and would be guilty of animal "abuse." Thus the way the law is written, being a non profit appears to say that non profits are exempt from animal abuse, yet we know that many shelters have been popped for animal abuse--- knowingly throwing, maiming, and maybe even torturing animals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yet those shelters are still in existence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even further, cities in Southern California are passing laws outlawing the sale of animals that are not from non profit "rescues" or non profit groups!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We believe that such discrimination is not rationally based, has no factual foundation, lacks any data to support it, and is based solely on emotional hyperbole and propaganda. Animal rights activists have continued to parlay their propaganda for decades, only now they are ramping up even faster, and using social networking to pull the wool over the younger crowds that can't think logically these days.</div>

Most of the incidents but not all, in animal law, relate to some type of alleged criminal conduct or gross negligence. <br />
<br />
But what has been happening more frequently, is the situation where owners and breeders are being subjected to complete seizure by either animal control, or humane societies, with claims of abuse when in fact, there is no actual abuse. One might be over the limit or not have a kennel license but that alone is not necessarily a criminal violation. Having a dirty water bowl or an issue with an animal's eye has been used to SEIZE all animals on one's property under claimed abuse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15.600000381469727px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<b>We have seen misdemeanor and felony charges which are not warranted, no experts even are allowed to view the animals in some cases. In general, the larger the number of animals, the better the animal control likes the "bust" since they end up selling all the animals, some of them at fairly high prices, and often such animals are actually moved out of the area to be sold. We have even seen animals sold to highest bidder at shelters.</b> </div>

Unbeknownst to most of the public, California has the most animal laws (usually pertaining to abuse) -- in the United States, mostly because animal rights group purposely enacted such laws in this state.<br />

Another PC 597.1 seizure done, BUT with very convoluted procedure. Warrant was issued and AC seized all animals, claiming they were neglected. Essentially, they were not neglected, but the outside run was not in perfect picture condition. Nevertheless, the "post seizure" hearing result was that owner could get his animals back BUT supposedly only so MANY of them, as the limit in that county is 6 dogs.<br /> In any event, many actions and facts surfaced which indicated that AC had no reason to NOT let all of the animals be released. However, AC then started on a shell game using the sheriff and essentially did not give back 6 dogs, and apparently either sold adopted or gave away the rest of the dogs, and while in the shelter, allowed TWO litters of puppies to be born from the seized animals. </h3>
<h3>
Yet, AC is still trying to push criminal charges for neglect or abuse, even though the dogs had been allowed to be returned. The administrative hearing officer had already stated he did not find evidence of abuse.</h3>
<h3>
<span style="color: blue;"> The updated disposition of the case is that the County threw the charges out for abuse and ended up with an infraction for barking and no license. It seems the dogs were licensed so that means just barking. </span></h3>
<br />
<h3 style="font-family: arial;">
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
a)(1) Every owner, driver, or keeper of any animal who permits the animal to be in any building, enclosure, lane, street, square, or lot of any city, county, city and county, or judicial district without proper care and attention is guilty of a misdemeanor. Any peace officer, humane society officer, or animal control officer shall take possession of the stray or abandoned animal and shall provide care and treatment for the animal until the animal is deemed to be in suitable condition to be returned to the owner. When the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that very prompt action is required to protect the health or safety of the animal or the health or safety of others, the officer shall immediately seize the animal and comply with subdivision (f). In all other cases, the officer shall comply with the provisions of subdivision (g). The full cost of caring for and treating any animal properly seized under this subdivision or pursuant to a search warrant shall constitute a lien on the animal and the animal shall not be returned to its owner until the charges are paid, if the seizure is upheld pursuant to this section.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(2) Notwithstanding any other law, if an animal control officer or humane officer, when necessary to protect the health and safety of a wild, stray, or abandoned animal or the health and safety of others, seeks to administer a tranquilizer that contains a controlled substance, as defined in Division 10 (commencing with Section 11000) of the Health and Safety Code, to gain control of that animal, he or she may possess and administer that tranquilizer with direct or indirect supervision as determined by a licensed veterinarian, provided that the officer has met each of the following requirements:</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(A) Has received training in the administration of tranquilizers from a licensed veterinarian. The training shall be approved by the California Veterinary Medical Board.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(B) Has successfully completed the firearms component of a course relating to the exercise of police powers, as set forth in Section 832.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(C) Is authorized by his or her agency or organization to possess and administer the tranquilizer in accordance with a policy established by the agency or organization and approved by the veterinarian who obtained the controlled substance.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(D) Has successfully completed the euthanasia training set forth in Section 2039 of Title 16 of the California Code of Regulations.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(E) Has completed a state and federal fingerprinting background check and does not have any drug- or alcohol-related convictions.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(b) Every sick, disabled, infirm, or crippled animal, except a dog or cat, that is abandoned in any city, county, city and county, or judicial district may be killed by the officer if, after a reasonable search, no owner of the animal can be found. It shall be the duty of all peace officers, humane society officers, and animal control officers to cause the animal to be killed or rehabilitated and placed in a suitable home on information that the animal is stray or abandoned. The officer may likewise take charge of any animal, including a dog or cat, that by reason of lameness, sickness, feebleness, or neglect, is unfit for the labor it is performing, or that in any other manner is being cruelly treated, and provide care and treatment for the animal until it is deemed to be in a suitable condition to be returned to the owner. When the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that very prompt action is required to protect the health or safety of an animal or the health or safety of others, the officer shall immediately seize the animal and comply with subdivision (f). In all other cases, the officer shall comply with subdivision (g). The full cost of caring for and treating any animal properly seized under this subdivision or pursuant to a search warrant shall constitute a lien on the animal and the animal shall not be returned to its owner until the charges are paid.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(c)(1) Any peace officer, humane society officer, or animal control officer shall convey all injured cats and dogs found without their owners in a public place directly to a veterinarian known by the officer to be a veterinarian who ordinarily treats dogs and cats for a determination of whether the animal shall be immediately and humanely destroyed or shall be hospitalized under proper care and given emergency treatment.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(2) If the owner does not redeem the animal within the locally prescribed waiting period, the veterinarian may personally perform euthanasia on the animal. If the animal is treated and recovers from its injuries, the veterinarian may keep the animal for purposes of adoption, provided the responsible animal control agency has first been contacted and has refused to take possession of the animal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(3) Whenever any animal is transferred to a veterinarian in a clinic, such as an emergency clinic that is not in continuous operation, the veterinarian may, in turn, transfer the animal to an appropriate facility.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(4) If the veterinarian determines that the animal shall be hospitalized under proper care and given emergency treatment, the costs of any services that are provided pending the owner's inquiry to the responsible agency, department, or society shall be paid from the dog license fees, fines, and fees for impounding dogs in the city, county, or city and county in which the animal was licensed or, if the animal is unlicensed, shall be paid by the jurisdiction in which the animal was found, subject to the provision that this cost be repaid by the animal's owner. The full cost of caring for and treating any animal seized under this subdivision shall constitute a lien on the animal and the animal shall not be returned to the owner until the charges are paid. No veterinarian shall be criminally or civilly liable for any decision that he or she makes or for services that he or she provides pursuant to this subdivision.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(d) An animal control agency that takes possession of an animal pursuant to subdivision (c) shall keep records of the whereabouts of the animal from the time of possession to the end of the animal's impoundment, and those records shall be available for inspection by the public upon request for three years after the date the animal's impoundment ended.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, any peace officer, humane society officer, or any animal control officer may, with the approval of his or her immediate superior, humanely destroy any stray or abandoned animal in the field in any case where the animal is too severely injured to move or where a veterinarian is not available and it would be more humane to euthanize the animal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(f) Whenever an officer authorized under this section seizes or impounds an animal based on a reasonable belief that prompt action is required to protect the health or safety of the animal or the health or safety of others, the officer shall, prior to the commencement of any criminal proceedings authorized by this section, provide the owner or keeper of the animal, if known or ascertainable after reasonable investigation, with the opportunity for a postseizure hearing to determine the validity of the seizure or impoundment, or both.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(1) The agency shall cause a notice to be affixed to a conspicuous place where the animal was situated or personally deliver a notice of the seizure or impoundment, or both, to the owner or keeper within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. The notice shall include all of the following:</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(A) The name, business address, and telephone number of the officer providing the notice.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(B) A description of the animal seized, including any identification upon the animal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(C) The authority and purpose for the seizure or impoundment, including the time, place, and circumstances under which the animal was seized.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(D) A statement that, in order to receive a postseizure hearing, the owner or person authorized to keep the animal, or his or her agent, shall request the hearing by signing and returning an enclosed declaration of ownership or right to keep the animal to the agency providing the notice within 10 days, including weekends and holidays, of the date of the notice. The declaration may be returned by personal delivery or mail.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(E) A statement that the full cost of caring for and treating any animal properly seized under this section is a lien on the animal and that the animal shall not be returned to the owner until the charges are paid, and that failure to request or to attend a scheduled hearing shall result in liability for this cost.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(2) The postseizure hearing shall be conducted within 48 hours of the request, excluding weekends and holidays. The seizing agency may authorize its own officer or employee to conduct the hearing if the hearing officer is not the same person who directed the seizure or impoundment of the animal and is not junior in rank to that person. The agency may utilize the services of a hearing officer from outside the agency for the purposes of complying with this section.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(3) Failure of the owner or keeper, or of his or her agent, to request or to attend a scheduled hearing shall result in a forfeiture of any right to a postseizure hearing or right to challenge his or her liability for costs incurred.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(4) The agency, department, or society employing the person who directed the seizure shall be responsible for the costs incurred for caring and treating the animal, if it is determined in the postseizure hearing that the seizing officer did not have reasonable grounds to believe very prompt action, including seizure of the animal, was required to protect the health or safety of the animal or the health or safety of others. If it is determined the seizure was justified, the owner or keeper shall be personally liable to the seizing agency for the full cost of the seizure and care of the animal. The charges for the seizure and care of the animal shall be a lien on the animal. The animal shall not be returned to its owner until the charges are paid and the owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the seizing agency or the hearing officer that the owner can and will provide the necessary care for the animal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(g) Where the need for immediate seizure is not present and prior to the commencement of any criminal proceedings authorized by this section, the agency shall provide the owner or keeper of the animal, if known or ascertainable after reasonable investigation, with the opportunity for a hearing prior to any seizure or impoundment of the animal. The owner shall produce the animal at the time of the hearing unless, prior to the hearing, the owner has made arrangements with the agency to view the animal upon request of the agency, or unless the owner can provide verification that the animal was humanely destroyed. Any person who willfully fails to produce the animal or provide the verification is guilty of an infraction, punishable by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) nor more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(1) The agency shall cause a notice to be affixed to a conspicuous place where the animal was situated or personally deliver a notice stating the grounds for believing the animal should be seized under subdivision (a) or (b). The notice shall include all of the following:</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(A) The name, business address, and telephone number of the officer providing the notice.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(B) A description of the animal to be seized, including any identification upon the animal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(C) The authority and purpose for the possible seizure or impoundment.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(D) A statement that, in order to receive a hearing prior to any seizure, the owner or person authorized to keep the animal, or his or her agent, shall request the hearing by signing and returning the enclosed declaration of ownership or right to keep the animal to the officer providing the notice within two days, excluding weekends and holidays, of the date of the notice.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 60px;">
(E) A statement that the cost of caring for and treating any animal properly seized under this section is a lien on the animal, that any animal seized shall not be returned to the owner until the charges are paid, and that failure to request or to attend a scheduled hearing shall result in a conclusive determination that the animal may properly be seized and that the owner shall be liable for the charges.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(2) The preseizure hearing shall be conducted within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, after receipt of the request. The seizing agency may authorize its own officer or employee to conduct the hearing if the hearing officer is not the same person who requests the seizure or impoundment of the animal and is not junior in rank to that person. The agency may utilize the services of a hearing officer from outside the agency for the purposes of complying with this section.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(3) Failure of the owner or keeper, or his or her agent, to request or to attend a scheduled hearing shall result in a forfeiture of any right to a preseizure hearing or right to challenge his or her liability for costs incurred pursuant to this section.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(4) The hearing officer, after the hearing, may affirm or deny the owner's or keeper's right to custody of the animal and, if reasonable grounds are established, may order the seizure or impoundment of the animal for care and treatment.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(h) If any animal is properly seized under this section or pursuant to a search warrant, the owner or keeper shall be personally liable to the seizing agency for the cost of the seizure and care of the animal. Further, if the charges for the seizure or impoundment and any other charges permitted under this section are not paid within 14 days of the seizure, or if the owner, within 14 days of notice of availability of the animal to be returned, fails to pay charges permitted under this section and take possession of the animal, the animal shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may be disposed of by the seizing agency.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(i) If the animal requires veterinary care and the humane society or public agency is not assured, within 14 days of the seizure of the animal, that the owner will provide the necessary care, the animal shall not be returned to its owner and shall be deemed to have been abandoned and may be disposed of by the seizing agency. A veterinarian may humanely destroy an impounded animal without regard to the prescribed holding period when it has been determined that the animal has incurred severe injuries or is incurably crippled. A veterinarian also may immediately humanely destroy an impounded animal afflicted with a serious contagious disease unless the owner or his or her agent immediately authorizes treatment of the animal by a veterinarian at the expense of the owner or agent.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(j) No animal properly seized under this section or pursuant to a search warrant shall be returned to its owner until the owner can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the seizing agency or hearing officer that the owner can and will provide the necessary care for the animal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(k)(1) In the case of cats and dogs, prior to the final disposition of any criminal charges, the seizing agency or prosecuting attorney may file a petition in a criminal action requesting that, prior to that final disposition, the court issue an order forfeiting the animal to the city, county, or seizing agency. The petitioner shall serve a true copy of the petition upon the defendant and the prosecuting attorney.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(2) Upon receipt of the petition, the court shall set a hearing on the petition. The hearing shall be conducted within 14 days after the filing of the petition, or as soon as practicable.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(3) The petitioner shall have the burden of establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that, even in the event of an acquittal of the criminal charges, the owner will not legally be permitted to retain the animal in question. If the court finds that the petitioner has met its burden, the court shall order the immediate forfeiture of the animal as sought by the petition.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(4) Nothing in this subdivision is intended to authorize a seizing agency or prosecuting attorney to file a petition to determine an owner's ability to legally retain an animal pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (l) if a petition has previously been filed pursuant to this subdivision.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(l)(1) Upon the conviction of a person charged with a violation of this section, or Section 597 or 597a, all animals lawfully seized and impounded with respect to the violation shall be adjudged by the court to be forfeited and shall thereupon be transferred to the impounding officer or appropriate public entity for proper adoption or other disposition. A person convicted of a violation of this section shall be personally liable to the seizing agency for all costs of impoundment from the time of seizure to the time of proper disposition. Upon conviction, the court shall order the convicted person to make payment to the appropriate public entity for the costs incurred in the housing, care, feeding, and treatment of the seized or impounded animals. Each person convicted in connection with a particular animal may be held jointly and severally liable for restitution for that particular animal. The payment shall be in addition to any other fine or sentence ordered by the court.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(2) The court may also order, as a condition of probation, that the convicted person be prohibited from owning, possessing, caring for, or residing with, animals of any kind, and require the convicted person to immediately deliver all animals in his or her possession to a designated public entity for adoption or other lawful disposition or provide proof to the court that the person no longer has possession, care, or control of any animals. In the event of the acquittal or final discharge without conviction of the person charged, if the animal is still impounded, the animal has not been previously deemed abandoned pursuant to subdivision (h), the court has not ordered that the animal be forfeited pursuant to subdivision (k), the court shall, on demand, direct the release of seized or impounded animals to the defendant upon a showing of proof of ownership.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
(3) Any questions regarding ownership shall be determined in a separate hearing by the court where the criminal case was finally adjudicated and the court shall hear testimony from any persons who may assist the court in determining ownership of the animal. If the owner is determined to be unknown or the owner is prohibited or unable to retain possession of the animals for any reason, the court shall order the animals to be released to the appropriate public entity for adoption or other lawful disposition. This section is not intended to cause the release of any animal, bird, reptile, amphibian, or fish seized or impounded pursuant to any other statute, ordinance, or municipal regulation. This section shall not prohibit the seizure or impoundment of animals as evidence as provided for under any other provision of law.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal; padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; font-weight: normal;">
(m) It shall be the duty of all peace officers, humane society officers, and animal control officers to use all currently acceptable methods of identification, both electronic and otherwise, to determine the lawful owner or caretaker of any seized or impounded animal. It shall also be their duty to make reasonable efforts to notify the owner or caretaker of the whereabouts of the animal and any procedures available for the lawful recovery of the animal and, upon the owner's and caretaker's initiation of recovery procedures, retain custody of the animal for a reasonable period of time to allow for completion of the recovery process. Efforts to locate or contact the owner or caretaker and communications with persons claiming to be the owner or caretaker shall be recorded and maintained and be made available for public inspection.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of Washington, D.C., did not yet decide how much is owed, the <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/nlj/PubArticleNLJ.jsp?id=1202594377285" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #003366; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="National Law Journal">National Law Journal</a> reports. The circus producer, Feld Entertainment Inc., says it has spent more than $20 million defending itself in the suit claiming that the circus was abusing its elephants.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sullivan had dismissed the suit in 2009, finding that the plaintiffs lacked standing and that another plaintiff, an elephant trainer, was “essentially a paid plaintiff and fact witness.”</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323296504578396731678206340.html" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #003366; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" title="Wall Street Journal">Wall Street Journal</a> (sub. req.) applauded the new development in an editorial. “Losers pay in Judge Emmet Sullivan's courtroom, at least when those losers bring a ‘frivolous, unreasonable and groundless’ lawsuit under the Endangered Species Act,” the newspaper said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sullivan also said one lawyer and her law firm are responsible for part of the fees because they helped the elephant trainer prepare a discovery response stating he wasn’t paid by the animal rights groups, the NLJ says. At the time, he had already received money from the groups.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The lawyer is Katherine Meyer and her firm is Meyer Glitzenstein & Crystal. When contacted by the NLJ, Meyer pointed to a declaration filed with the court that said she had no intention to mislead and the trainer didn’t consider the payments to be formal compensation. She also said lawyers for the trainer had offered to provide information about the payments under a confidentiality agreement.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sullivan's ruling doesn’t affect one plaintiff, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The group agreed to pay Feld $9.3 million in December, the Wall Street Journal says.</div>

This is the correct site for animal pet law attorney, currently, and all the state information,etc. will apply to CA unless otherwise noted. [The fact that site lists Chico CA does not limit legal work to any particular area.]</h2>
<h2>
Attorney can and does work in any California county, and is admitted to Southern District Federal Court (San Diego), Northern District Federal Court (Bay Area- SF, San Jose, etc) and Eastern District Federal Court (Sacramento, Fresno, Redding, etc) and can easily be admitted to Central District (Los Angeles) but due to rabid Animal Rights in Los Angeles, it is rather useless to bring a lawsuit in Central District. This is rather obvious from most of the case law that has happened in that district.</h2>
