Policelogs While statistics may vary, most everyone agrees that pet theft is on the rise. Even though there are no truly re- liable fig- ures as to the num- ber sto- len in the United States each year, estimates are as high as two million, with approx- imately only 10 percent returned to their guard- ians. The presumption is that the majority of pet theft is profit-driven. Pedigreed dogs from rep- utable breeders can liter- ally cost hundreds of dol- lars. Therefore, it should not surprise anyone that these valuable animals, when stolen, are then sold at a fraction of the typical fees charged. A pedigreed animal, not sold, is also useful fodder for puppy mill breeding. We can begin to help curtail profit-driven theft by not purchasing from sources other than shel- ters, legitimate rescue groups, and reputable breeders. There is no way to verify where an ani- mal came from if bought at a flea market, off the internet, or on the road- side. In today's market, websites and online clas- sifieds are easily falsi- fied. If someone offers an animal for sale at tre- mendously reduced pric- ing, or is asking for a "re-homing" fee, pro- ceed with extreme cau- tion. Pet guardians who truly care about their an- imals, but due to circum- stances beyond their con- trol must relinquish their pet, will attempt to find a good home for their pet without compensation. While it may be diffi- cult for us to understand, it is important for guard- ians to be aware of the other reasons why pets are stolen. Dogfighters may be seeking fighting or "bait" animals. There are those who procure the animals to sell to dealers who, in turn, sell to research laboratories. However, this may be- come less of an issue be- cause, on December 18, 2015, Congress passed a ban on all funding of USDA Class B licenses for dealers selling "ran- dom source" dogs and cats to medical research. This will effectively shut down unscrupulous deal- ers, who will be unable to renew their licenses in 2016. Other reasons for theft include kidnap/ ransom attempts, ani- mal hoarding, revenge acts by disgruntled peo- ple, sadistic acts, ritual- istic sacrifice and impul- sive violence. Yorkshire Terriers are the most stolen breed of dog, according to the American Kennel Club. Other breeds typically taken are Maltese, Po- meranian, Boston Ter- rier, French Bulldog, Chi- huahua and Labradoo- dles. In addition, Pit Bulls, when pure breed- ing is not a necessity, are pilfered for use in il- legal dog baiting and dog fighting venues. Other breeds, like Ger- man Shepherds, Dober- man Pinschers and Rott- weilers, that are deemed tough fighting dogs, are also pursued. Lastly, the Labrador Retriever, con- sidered the most popu- lar of dog breeds in the United States, is not im- mune from theft. If your pet has been stolen, file a report with the local authorities im- mediately. A police re- port will be useful for identification when re- covering the animal and will prove helpful during trial. If authorities are hesitant to prepare the report, remind them that pets are valuable "prop- erty" and under the pro- visions of the Califor- nia Penal Code, stealing dogs or other animals is either a felony or misde- meanor. A person who fe- loniously steals, takes, or carries away a dog of another where the dog's value exceeds $950 is guilty of grand theft. If the value of the dog is less than $950, it is petty theft. If a person steals or maliciously takes an animal of another for purposes of sale, medical research, slaugh- ter or other commer- cial use (or does so by fraud or false representa- tion), he or she commits a public offense punish- able by imprisonment in a county jail not exceed- ing 1 year or in the state prison. What can you do to protect your pet from theft? Most pets are taken from their back- yards, so never leave your pet alone and be sure to keep gates locked. If you are not at home, keep pets indoors. If you do take your pet with you, do not leave them unat- tended in a car or tied outside a store to wait. In addition, when walk- ing your dog, keep him leashed. It should also be understood that dogs and cats should not be allowed to roam freely in your neighborhood. Spay or neuter your pet be- cause, among other rea- sons, they then have no value to unscrupulous breeders. Be sure to iden- tify your pet with a col- lar, tags and microchip. Never give your pet away to another home with- out checking references and knowing as much as is possible about their fu- ture home. Be aware of strangers and report un- usual activity to the au- thorities. Pet theft is real. Your pets are depending on you to take the measures necessary to protect their well-being.
