Accident – Death – Obituary News : LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Animal overcrowding continues to be a pressing issue in Clark County, with local shelters like The Animal Foundation facing a shortage of space to accommodate the influx of animals. According to Marketing and Communications Coordinator Max Blaustein, the shelter saw over 2,500 animals brought in just in the month of June, putting a strain on resources.
The problem of animal overcrowding is exacerbated by illegal breeding operations, as highlighted by animal advocate Dave Schweiger, who heads the volunteer group “Illegal Breeding Busters.” Schweiger emphasizes the need for proactive measures to combat illegal breeders, which would in turn alleviate the burden on shelters and rescue organizations.
A recent incident involving the seizure of 39 dogs from a home near Lake Mead and Lamb sheds light on the issue of backyard breeding. The dogs, primarily French bulldogs, were discovered during a police search related to a drug investigation. The incident underscores the prevalence of illegal breeding activities in the region.
Channel 13 obtained a copy of the Animal Protective Services report detailing the conditions at the property, which revealed the presence of not only dogs but also horses, chickens, and goats. While the dogs appeared healthy, there were concerns about the living conditions, with some dogs observed in cages with feces.
The breeder responsible for the operation, identified as Yankiel Gonzalez, was found to be advertising the dogs on social media platforms like Craigslist and Facebook. Gonzalez admitted to selling the dogs for prices ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 without the necessary breeding permit. The 39 dogs remain under legal hold pending further investigation.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of cracking down on illegal breeding practices to address the issue of animal overcrowding in Clark County. Authorities and advocacy groups continue to work towards finding solutions to ensure the well-being of animals in the community..
