Animal ownership is under attack. When government gives private citizens the authority to invade private property and seize other private citizens’ personal property animals, they open Pandora’s Box and create a way for 1 person to attack another person, whip up a “social media madness mob”, and for whatever motive or agenda they may have.
The motive might be a dislike for another person, or the other person might be a competitor of theirs in “rescue”, in breeding, in training, many rescues seize free animals to “flip”/sell in “adoptions for a fee”, etc, but whatever the motive is, on too many seizures/raids, the so-called “welfare of animals” is NOT the primary motive for seizure/theft.

The above questions are necessary to weed-out ill-intentioned seizures and attacks by animal rescues, humane societies, spca’s, and animal controls.
