I can't vouch for the truth of this but it's better to be prepared just in case:

URGENT: HSUS raid planned for central Tennessee or adjacent area

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.

crossposting encouraged

Buy WHAT authority Does HSUS have that Would Enable them to Do ANYTHING to a kennel???
HOW can an Entity Such as the HUMANE SOCIETY of THE US have? they are a lobbing Organization Only!! they are NOT the HUMANE SOCIETY themselves...They have NO LEGAL AUTHORITY...

The HSUS provides resources for local humane societies and operates a network of direct care centers for animals around the country.

HSUS works to reduce suffering and to create meaningful social change for animals by advocating for sensible public policies, investigating cruelty and working to enforce existing laws,

It does not run local shelters or oversee local animal care and control agencies.

the group primarily functions as a lobbying and education organization.

The HSUS has no affiliation with or control over local humane societies.

The HSUS has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY And unless they have a warrant or are Accompanied by the ASPCA or USDA and ONLY if those entities have Authority Within your State or jurisdiction and Local law Enforcement With a PROPER Warrant!! then just tell them to Go Away!! stand on your fourth amendment rights and demand a warrant to let them on your property. Do not think just because they Say they are HSUS or the Humane Society that they have a right to come onto your property. And the fifth amendment protects you from having to give them any information also.
So I say let em Come but they better come well armed AND with the proper Authorities or I will Enact My RIGHT to Defend person and property..

DEFENSE, SELF-DEFENSE
