Attorney Has Worked in So Cal+ Nor Cal.. and Has Handled Cases in About 28 CA Courts

Attorney has worked in both Northern and Southern CA courts, including federal court and bankruptcy cases...much of attorney's work has been in Family law and animal law cases, with attorney prevailing in one of the rare animal seizure cases in Hollywood--which was illegal. Attorney conducted a post seizure hearing and won, the Hearing officer finding that the seizure was actually illegal.

Further, although there was a federal case in Sacramento brought by animal owners who were victims of radical animal rescues who committed fraud and worse, the attorney that handled the case did not proceed to use the method that should have been used in order to prove that the CA state law on animal seizures, is actually illegal? It can be easily proven even by reading the law itself. Attorney has found that many animal owners don't want to be in the spotlight and just give up to avoid being the subject of animal activists.

Attorney has also seriously looked at the current scenario wherein only rescues, shelters and 'Humane' groups can 'sell' certain pets. After examining the laws in CA, attorney believes that the double or triple standard is imposed by San Diego (city) as against any groups other than themselves (shelters, rescues, non profits)-- is actually illegal and in violation of the Cartright Act.Some may disagree, but I invite any of such persons to prove me wrong. It is doubtful because most people simply do not care enough to actually investigate laws these days.

In any event, animal law cases are very difficult and sometimes impossible due to the animal control people or rescuers--it depends on who did what? Attorney has seen countless animal cases go awry due to many reasons--and most of the reasons were due to activists who were not only wrong, they were outright liars. Thus anyone who wants a well bred animal these days, should buy (for example) a dog--from a known breeder who actually knows what they are doing. Since Peta's history of errant and bad actions is legendary, and many rescues have no animals available, attorney recommends that one BUY an animal from a reputable breeder or even hobby breeder. Some rescued animals are ok, but for newbie owners, I would never recommend it.

Attorney has long years of experience in animal rescue, and there are not many animals for rescue available these days, unless dumped into a pound. Attorney is even aware that rescues fight over obtaining these animals. Therefore, I personally cannot see fighting over such a thing, especially if the animal was brought into the USA from down below the border.

And in a horrific actual incident out of San Diego (a humane group)--actually foolishly adopted out a large dog--to a husband/wife who had an infant, and apparently... no experience with large dogs at all? No only is that highly stupid, it's insane? So what happened? WELL--this is both horrific and terrible--- this couple, who (seemingly had NO EXPERIENCE WITH DOGS) --I am assuming--, MUCH LESS GROWN DOGS---was allowed to "adopt" a giant sized dog, breed unsure of, but resembling molosser type....this couple had a baby, and I mean BABY--that slept in bed with the couple....I say that these people must not have had experience because if one had ANY experience with a molosser type dog, one would NOT be placing a 65lb dog in bed with a baby or infant, PERIOD.

Foolishly--this couple, who apparently knew NOTHING ABOUT DOGS, MUCH LESS "RESCUED" dogs--allowed the dog to sleep right next to the BABY. NOW anyone who knows anything at all about any dog from a pound or rescue---should NEVER think that just because someone at the rescue tells you they know some certain dog---it is not necessarily true at all. AND WHEN SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW DOGS AT ALL, WANTS TO ADOPT A HUGE MOLOSSER GROWN DOG, AND ALLOW IT TO SLEEP NEXT TO A VERY YOUNG BABY, THAT IS ALMOST SHEER SUICIDE???? https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/dog-that-killed-mira-mesa-newborn-was-newly-adopted-rescue/2002815/

WELL-- AS YOU MAY HAVE FIGURED OUT, THE BABY WAS KILLED BY THE LARGE DOG RIGHT THERE IN THE BED, AND ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MORTIFYING THAT WOULD BE TO THE PARENTS WHO OBVIOUSLY WERE NOT VERY BRIGHT..AND THE HUMANE GROUP SHOULD HAVE BEEN ROYALLY SUED FOR EVEN ADOPTING OUT THAT DOG TO THAT COUPLE!!!!

I used to live in San Diego so I know what those idiots there do, and believe me, they are mostly pretty dumb. Even the San Diego city attorney agreed with me during the time we were working against the ridiculous pet laws (at least 1 law was illegal) and the City attorney agreed with me that it was in fact, illegal? It has probably not even changed so if true, then it's illegal now.

Regardless, even if a 'humane" group did not see a dog 'exhibit' any type of violence, it was sheer stupidity to adopt it to a family with a baby at all--and it shows the parents had very little knowledge of canines in general.. Many dogs are given up due to aggression but some entities or former owners, will fail to disclose that fact. Simply testing a dog will not necessarily disclose that an animal is a biter.Or a child killer.

Attorney has done animal rescue prior for many years, and has worked on many animal law cases, and was one of the first CA attorneys in 2007 to challenge the pitbull law in Aurora Colorado in Federal Court; and no, we did not win [due to rational basis] law.

ONLY in 2021-- many years and years having passed, did the law in Denver change, and pitbulls are allowed in Denver--and it was not done by any specific law in court--the city finally relented to APBT dogs being allowed under pressure from scads of owners both online, and those otherwise pushing the city to CHANGE the law against pitbulls. It remains to be seen how that law will play out. As we all know, Kory Nelson, infamous from that jurisdiction, believes that all APBT are killers. Well, that's an argument for a different day.
