Dogs Confiscation RUMOR
There is an individual on the RV Net forum claiming that dogs are being confiscated by the Police in Mexico for no good reason. I don't believe the
story and have asked for specific instances from credible individuals.
If you have a dog in Mexico or have recently taken your dog or dogs to Mexico as we have with no problem please comment on this RUMOR. Thank you.

Returned to USA from La Paz in April. Spend six months there with dog and have for past 7 years. Never heard of this rumor. La Paz does have an
animal control officer that tries his best to grab street dogs. He works out of the Centro de Salud. They have an active vaccination program and a
group looking out for dog welfare (Macotas). The officer has a badge (no, not a "stinking baadge") so maybe the rumor started with badge=police?
By the way, it is not uncommon for a city overrun with strays to reduce the problem by throwing out poisoned meat. We have personally experienced
this in Loreto and Todos Santos in the past. Also some individual businesses have done the same. Best keep Fido on a short leash.
If you hear differently, please let us know.

This may have some relation to a crackdown by U.S. Customs on Mexican "puppy mills" smuggling puppies less than 8 weeks old into the U.S. This trade
concentrates on small breeds which are currently popular. Apparently there is an ample supply of idiots in the U.S. willing to pay several hundred
dollars for pups with questionable papers who often turn out sick and do not survive.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

this is done in Mulege also and if your dog is a bit noisy sometimes the meat will go over the fence

Boy, if noisy dogs were targeted in Loreto, they would be hip deep in dead dogs!!!

well it is a lot quieter here in Mulege than in the past and we don't have as bad of a problam with the dog packs running the streets so the program
works. it is just to bad they cant poison the dog owner instead of the dog.

Poisoning does not seem to be very humane and I assume is quite painful for the dogs who are the innocent victims of Mexican neglect.
Why not tranquilize them and then deal with it. Of course, that would be more complcated but many areas is Mexico now have organizations that try to
Humanely deal with the problem and no one can deny it is a problem. Many dead dogs and some other dead animals can be observed along the roads in
Mexico. Maybe the Politicians could take interest in something other than their own self interest. Of course, one can say the same thing about many
of the Politicians in the U.S.

My wife is envolved with "Animalandia" here in Loreto. They put on free spay and neuter clinics in various locations and there is a permanent clinic
being built. They have neutered approx. 450 dogs in the last year and a half. While this isnt a perfect solution, it has made a noticable difference
in the number of street dogs. So far we have been warned when the poison trucks are going to be coming around, which seems to happen about once or
twice a year.

Backninedan, Thats great, perhaps more Americanos could become involved in this type of activity. I wonder what is happening in Mulege, Santa
Rosalia along these lines.

Now if they could figure out a way to muffle those loudspeaker trucks, boombox cars, and the roosters that can't tell time. 
But then, I guess that's just part of the Loreto atmosphere.

I haven't seen or heard of any poisonings being done here in San Felipe by any officials. Maybe twice a year they do have dog catchers roam the town
and pick up strays. The only dogs they catch are some ones pet that is very trusting. The beach dogs won't get anywhere close to them.
Again these are street dogs they sometimes pick up. I have never heard of any dogs being confiscated.

If you ever saw your dog die from strychnine you might think twice about doing it to others. Sure a slow death works but I'd rather see them run over
or shot.

that is right . and thousands of dogs a year die from rat poison from careless dog owners not using it properly and that is an even worse death.

Over the past few years I have made the crossing some 20 plus times, had my dog with me every time. Once I was asked for the dogs "papers" by Mexican
Customs.
