The words “pot” and “bust” appear only once in the article’s title, and are never repeated again in the article.
There is *no* substantive evidence that any pot or other drugs were found at the residence.
The only crime known to have occurred at the residence is the unlawful slaughter of the man’s dogs.
Put yourself in his shoes. Do you want someone to say of you “well, the police said they were engaged in a pot bust/child porn bust/porn ring bust, therefore, that Persevero guy *must* have been guilty and put all minors and pets at his residence in harm’s way”?

If I am indeed growing pot, I must bear some of the responsibility of a minor or a pet of mine who gets hurt or killed in a drug raid or a drug war. I know perfectly well it is an environment which invites violence. I should not have vulnerable children or animals in that mix.
If I were doing porn, I don’t think they get to do the no knock searches, so the point is moot, but if I had kids around that I think I should lose custody anyway. I would not worry about pets in that case. Porn would not harm pets, and there’s not a “porn war” going on among dealers and users all fighting for their porn or their piece of the action.
