Local authorities are obliged to seize stray dogs. This
duty may be delegated. Owners are only entitled to the return of dogs
if they pay all the expenses incurred by reason of the detention. I assume,
but don't know, that the local authority has delegated the function of
seizure to the dogs home (which is a charity).
see Environmental
Protection Act 1990 section 149(5)

----- Original Message ----- Idly glancing through the Sunday Telegraph
yesterday, I noticed an article on the Battersea Dogs' Home in London.
Large numbers of stray pooches are handed in by the police & others.
If the owners can be found, they are told they can have their animals
back, but only if they pay a fee for their keep and vaccination.
Does anyone have any idea what the
basis of this charge is - or does the Home simply hope that owners will
do the decent thing and not sue? <<== Previous message Back to index Next message ==> |
