Herd Cutback :-(

  • Mood:
So, one of my neighbors called Animal Control because of how I feed my dogs.  My dogs have been fed a Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet since August of 2004.  I have noticed a huge improvement in their health since switching them from a kibble diet.

Anyways... that's a whole other subject... back to the point...

I received a visit today from a local Animal Control officer and even though he understood my position and sympathizes with the variety improvement success I've had in my hobby, within city limits I can only have a certain number of rabbits at any given time.

So, a herd cut back it is - and how I'm going to be able to continue improving the 3 varieties I have within the city limitations is currently beyond me - I have no clue!  I've worked so hard to bring the Lynx variety back within reckoning and I'm so happy with the quality of my REW's, plus the leaps of improvement on my BEW's - it all couldn't have been just a waste of time.

It's not like I can comply now and then forget about it later, 'cause as with everything of this nature, there are follow ups and if a neighbor complained about my dogs' feeding habits this time, it may be their barking the next (not that they constantly bark).

I've invested so much into this hobby - money, time, effort, tears, and sweat - and it feels like the government officials enjoy taking away and stomping on the hopes and dreams of the people they're supposed to be supporting.  Don't they have more important things to do such as fixing the economic problems of this country... or actually tracking down those PETA/HSUS criminals and finally putting them behind bars... or what about helping out family farming for a change!!!
