All together Serfs,
Thank you for signing this FORMER Gov. Codey.
Notice how ambiguous all the terms of illegal activety is and all you need to be is an agent of the freaks to confiscate and arrest.
They are being trained too!

Thanks for this.
Yes, I know what the agenda of many of the so-called "animal shelter" groups can be. Not all, but some, of them want broad powers to further their AR goals, in the guise of running a shelter for overpopulated domestic animals.
Anybody remember that case back in the mid 1990s when a guy in New Jersey killed a rat in his garden (close to his small grandaughter) and the local animal shelter fined him big bucks?
A few years ago the local volunteer animal shelter in a town I resided went before the city council and county commission asking for a registration fee on all animals, the money raised to be used to arm, deputize (sp) and create an Animal Control officer.
Problem was, the entire board of directors of the shelter, as well as its employees, were card carrying PETA members, rabid AR freaks.
Basically, had they got their way they could send an armed shelter officer in to confiscate someone's animals and other property, and arrest and fine someone they deemed was "abusing animals."
I could forsee them doing that to people raising hunting dogs, strictly because of their opposition to hunting, etc.
Anyway they got their butts whupped. Up here where I live there are lots of hunters, and the commission/city council knew better than to support this.
When the local govt's try to pass these laws they need to be reminded that in most cases state laws cover animal abuse, and local police have the authority to enforce these laws. When these AR folks try to get this kind of power it is dangerous.
