Livonia Animal Control says homeowner leaving beagles outdoors is in compliance with state lawLIVONIA, Mich. (WXYZ) — Livonia Animal Control says its hands are tied after several residents have complained about one homeowner leaving his three beagles outdoors in frigid temperatures.
"All pet owners should be mindful of the recent bitterly cold temperatures. While most people would not treat their animal in this way, there is no law in Michigan that requires pet owners to bring their dogs inside at a certain temperature," a statement from Livonia Animal Control read. The three beagles who protesters say are left outdoors in the homeowner's yard year-round have been checked on several times over the years, according to local animal control. They have shelter and straw insulation. The owner has also been compliant with officers. The animal control says the dogs are "warm to the touch" when they leave out of their dog houses, and their shelters are well maintained. So in this instance, the homeowner is not breaking any laws. https://www.wxyz.com/news/livonia-animal-control-says-homeowner-leaving-beagles-outdoors-is-in-compliance-with-state-law Fuck these people.

9. I've had dogs who refused to come inside. (Not saying that's the case with the beagles).

12. What breed? And did you let them remain outside overnight in these types of temps?

8. In my area, animal cruelty laws are sparse because of the Amish community.

10. The Amish are some of the worst puppy millers.
