Hello everybody.   
      
   With this bad economy we are having many back yard breeders trying to make a   
   buck and they could care less compared to the ones who have a more reputable   
   process. In Ontario over 33 dogs got seized in mid April by the Inland Valley   
   Humane Society. Sadly it costs money and sometimes lives of the existing   
   animals that reside in the facilities due to the lack of space in the crowded   
   facilities.   
      
   I would like to figure out ways to reduce hoarding and backyard breeding in   
   the puppy mill variety. My idea is to seize the property such as the home and   
   or the vehicles to help cover the costs of taking care of these animals. I   
   would like to see municipalities and counties to use money to build a crisis   
   center to make sure they can have surplus space to take care of these poor   
   creatures that got abused by fate. It would be great if we had a satellite   
   office to hold 75-100 dogs and 40 cats in cases such as this. Seizing property   
   to recover costs would be one way to do this.   
      
   I think putting liens and or seizing property would be a high deterrent to   
   make sure people are handling animals in a responsible matter.
