Mt. Morris Township should provide own animal control

With regard to the article "Dogs seized" [Local News, Oct. 5, Page A3], I don't understand why the Genesee County Animal Control is enforcing the township ordinance. Wouldn't it seem that Mt. Morris Township is required to provide its own enforcement?
.
Also, wouldn't it seem like limiting the number of dogs a person has is unconstitutional?
It's too bad these rescue groups can't get together and challenge these illegal ordinances.
That ordinance is more in violation of the law than that woman could ever be.

This "bust" by Genesee County Animal Control was a farce. If the foster home that was in "horrible, deplorable" conditions was so bad, why did they have their own 2 dogs back within 48 hours (with GCAC approval)? Certainly, conditions that bad wouldn't have changed that quickly to allow it to be cleaned up in that time.
Yes, the home was over the animal limit, but why couldn't they have been cited and given time to rehome the animals rather than have their healthy animals taken to Animal Control and exposed to diseases there? Also, why did they have to be called unfit, deplorable etc?
No charges were ever filed in this incident, it was a waste of taxpayers money.
Thank you. I know most of these "busts" are bogus. That is the main reason I started this blog. These should be counted as a "crime against humanity". Limiting the amount or quantity of personal property a person may own is also unconstitutional.
