The erosion of our freedom to own dogs, pets and animals, rings true of the current political climate in the USA Today. We the People who own dogs, cats, pets and animals are especially struck by the public’s statements concerning agreement or apathy towards all the various government licensing to include that of our pets and animals.

Just as exposure to common household and yard chemicals affect humans, our pets are affected by these 'toxic' cleaning household products too. The exposure to these cleaning products containing toxins allegedly produce compounded harmful effects to our dogs, cats, pets, and animals. Researchers for the EWG (environmental working group) analyzed blood and urine samples they collected from 40 cats and 20 dogs, all household pets. They were tracking the presence of 70 industrial chemicals in the pets’ bodies. Of the 70 chemicals tracked, 48 of them were present in the animals. Of those 48 chemicals, 43 of them were at levels much higher than what is typically found in humans. Stain- and grease-proofing coating chemicals (perfluorochemicals) were 2.4 times higher in the dogs than in people. Fire retardants (PBDEs) were found at levels 23 times higher in cats than in people and the cats’ mercury levels were 5 times higher. The average chemical saturation in humans for this study was based on conclusions from national studies conducted by both the EWG and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is speculated by professionals that the elevated levels of common household chemicals in our pets is a glimpse into the future for us and our children. Pets are exposed to these various cleaning product toxins the same way people are – cancer causing agents in various cleaning chemicals which our pets and animals pick up on their paws and then get licked into their pet’s bodies, fluoride in tap water, pesticide residue on lawns, and by simply breathing the same indoor air pollutants humans do. Like the smallest children, pets play close to the floor and ingest a limited diet, two factors associated with increased health risk of industrial chemicals. Pets’ grooming behaviors and their accelerated life spans both play a role in producing quicker evidence of chemical contamination than would be found in humans. Almost 50% of all homes in America include a cat or a dog. These pets live in eight times more homes than do children under the age of 5. Households with cats and dogs outnumber households with children of any age by 70%. There are no current laws that require chemicals in pet foods, toys, and other products to be tested for safety. The body burden of exposure to these untested chemicals produces a complex mix of industrial and chemicals in home cleaning products could possibly be linked to the very high rate of cancer in dogs and hyperthyroidism in cats seen today. And you wonder why a “dirtier” home is actually safer to you and your pets, than an exceptionally “clean home” made that way by your use of numerous alleged cancer agent containing cleaning products, and numerous 'toxic' chemicals in home cleaners, just to stop a "pet smell."

Definition of Toxic Dog Licensing and the Misconceptions of Pet Owners:

Most people seem to believe that a dog or pet license is a freedom, when in true fact, it is a taking. A license is a temporary, revocable permit issued by government that allows the holder to have something or to do something that is otherwise illegal. For example, in the USA the licensing of firearms has virtually removed our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Any time a license is issued, a freedom is jeopardized. By the very act of licensing dogs, the act of owning or even possessing a dog has been made illegal.

Pets and Animals are traditional property, now legally having “Intrinsic Value”

Animals are human-kind's most ancient and traditional property. Before ever we settled down to a plot of land and threw seeds in the soil, we numbered animals as our most valuable possessions. Wealth has always been associated with the number of animals that a person owned, and kept. Now animal ownership, use, and the ancient, honorable practice of animal husbandry are under global attack by dog laws, animal ID laws globally. It was initiated by the animal "rights" movement, and adapted by local, state, and federal governments throughout the world.

A Dog's life has 'intrinsic value,' New York judge finds:

Finding that a dog "is somewhere between a person and personal property," a New York trial court said a pet owner whose dog died following unauthorized surgery may seek damages beyond the purchase price of the animal. "[A dog] is not an inanimate thing that just receives affection; it also returns it," the court wrote, citing Corso v. Crawford, 97 Misc. 2d 530 (N.Y., Queens County Civ. Ct. 1979).

Doing Away with Dog Ownership:

All the dog legislation, animal control laws, dog ownership licensing, animal breeder licensing and animal ID programs will effectively do away with all but the largest commercial breeders and providers. When the small traditional owner and holder have been the basis for our animals and economy world-wide, it soon will end with all animals owned being controlled through licensing of many types and behaviors, as well as the food we all eat for life will be controlled by the seed products being copyrighted thru large commercial concerns like Monsanto, and those of us who have traditionally grown our own food or owned animals personally for various reasons will be locked out or the owners will be locked up literally, also known as “Jail” or animal shelters, etc.

To Legislate Animals and Control or Not to Legislate that is the Question:

Generally, people concerned about retaining their freedom and liberty in America are usually not in favor of "any" legislation of any kind that increases "stress" upon the freedom's of "We the People" no matter what the cause. BUT..... after "reviewing" the "Who's Who" list of the “animal rights” organizations that are jumping up and down, screaming "unfair" I AM not going to continue to explain and complain about this.......For one thing, ASPCA, HSUS, and PETA, are the "first wasted" manipulators that will "AXE" our Freedoms to even merely "OWN" a pet, and after discovering the "INSANE" perverted information they are spewing regarding alleged cruelty by people, for "keeping their pets" safe, in a "proper" kennel inside or properly tethered outside their home, and the questionable manipulation on just being able to tie their dog or animal out to pee in the grass for a little while or exercise on a proper guide line", etc. Not to mention the Lies that HSUS, the ASPCA, or PETA spews out, in just about every category of "reasonable care for animals and pets" to be lied about by HSUS and PETA and then manipulated to allegedly make We the People the criminals, for simply "loving" our dogs, pets and animals. In actuality, We the People ARE the "REALISTS" with "common sense" and "family values" that include our Legal and God Given "rights, per the Bill of Rights to be free from intrusion on our own private property. My family happens to be "animals." We the People are now headed immediately for a future that Dwight David Eisenhower warned the world about in his inaugural address, the "military, industrial complex". "The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane." ~ Marcus Aurelius

Dog Gone It, on a “Positive and Constructive” Note:

One reason a dog can be such a comfort such as when you're feeling blue or worried about tyranny legislation upon our animals, and ourselves, is that our dogs don't try to find out why. Some of these dog laws or animal control regulations appear to be "overwhelming" and appear "impossible to defeat." Fortunately, I never have had enough intelligence to know, that I could not stop the impossible. I know "not" the meaning of defeat. This is the belief We as People, who own dogs, pets, and animals, need to retain, believe in, and “ACT” upon.

I Do Know the Love of My Dogs:

I DO KNOW, the Love of my dogs, and because of their “Intrinsic Value” to my life and theirs, I shall not forsake them, even unto a bad law or "perverted" animal activist organization's efforts to defeat my love, admiration, and ownership of my family of dogs and animals. With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable, even to defeat the impossible perversion of animal control dog laws nationwide.

Dog Owners Remember This:

Look at a stone cutter (loving dog owners) hammering away at his/her rock (tyranny & the animal control legislation oppressor), perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack was showing in the rock (laws). Yet at the hundred-and-first blow the rock will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before. Let's get "busy" through "action" and “ACT” with authority of freedom and liberty to crack this stone of tyranny upon our animals and all the controlling tyranny of us all. And that “includes” our family of dogs, pets, and animals. “The ideal animal license control tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its own victims.” ~ Dean A. Ayers
