Tonya – one of the things I learned
from this experience, no one knows everything --- I mean even the top of animal
care center person did not know their own ordinance and even an attorney does
not know everything --- and but they act like they do.. and they try to use the
power that they think they do to intimate you ---- sometimes, all it takes is
for us to research, read the law and find out what they can do and they cannot
--- When they threatened me to take my cats
away, I was not sure if they could or not and no one really knew for sure –so
I read everything that I could read, state constitution, city charter, city
ordinance, and find out if there is anywhere in the law that they can ---- and
there was nothing in the law that states that they could in my situation –
no animals are in danger and they are well taken care of … and they just
cannot take away my animals based on the violation of the numbers that I had
---and I felt empowered to find out – but the authority will tell you
that they can.. but legally they cannot – There was a similar situation where they
Immigration office in SF made a mistake on my residence status at the time of
entry about 20 years ago,, in stead of them giving me a permanent green card,
they gave me a conditional green card which would expire in two years --- and
it’s sort of too complicated to explain, but after reading all the case
law, and immigration law, I found out that I should have gotten the permanent
status --- which wouldn’t have been a big deal if I did not get divorced,
but I did .. so all of sudden, I was told that I need to leave the country –
and I kept fighting with no lawyer.. but kept reading and believed that I was
right – I went to Immigration office in SF, and
every person I spoke with at the window of Immigration office told me that I
was wrong and need to be deported.. and finally got into the top of the
immigration office at SF, and he acknowledged that I was wrong and every body
was wrong and misunderstood the law – and finally a day before I was
supposed to be deported, I finally got my permanent green card --- from the
time one.. I decided not to give too much credit on government official about
them knowing about what they are doing … and the same applied here sort
of.. if you know what I mean.. so everyone, don’t underestimate your
power and don’t let them intimidate you.. you don’t necessary have
to do what they tell you to do….. From:

Behalf Of catatonya Hooray for Merry and Michelle too! I Michelle don't try to
downplay your help. Just having your ideas as an attorney have helped
Hideyo hang in there. It sounds like finding Merry was a Godsend. I
hope all of this pans out. It's sad (no offense intended to any attorneys
or those in enforcement)......... but it IS sad how easily 'regular' people can
be treated in these situations. Most people are very rightly afraid of
going to jail and afraid of the large attorney fees that add up so
quickly. It's certainly not one of It's easy to say I would fight if this happened to me. But if it
came to criminal charges that might land me in jail, or court/attorney costs
that might cause me to lose my home anyway. I don't know what I'd
do. I admire anyone who will stand up for what is right in these kinds of
situations!! Go Hideyo!!!!!!!!!!!!! tonya
