URGENT: HSUS Raid Planned for Central Tennessee

We have received information that HSUS is planning a breeder raid for

the central Tennessee area, or surrounding areas, in the next several

days. They have been asking for volunteers able to foster around

120-150 dogs by next Wednesday, February 2. They are also asking for

volunteers able to take part in the raid. We have been told that the

raid will be in central Tennessee, but it could be in a surrounding

state close by (MS, KY, etc.). They often conduct these raids on

weekends.


Rescue groups are also at risk during raids such as these.


If you are a breeder with large numbers of dogs in these areas,

please take precautions. They may have already visited your property

to get probable cause for a warrant. At this point all you may be

able to do is remove dogs before they are seized. If you have reason

to think that you could be the subject of such a raid, please protect

yourself and your dogs. Have an attorney ready and remove dogs ahead

of time.


This message is only aimed at breeders with larger numbers of dogs

who may be targeted by HSUS in these areas.
