Quotes:

Himself - ASPCA Special Agent for Humane Law Enforcement: [when arresting a person for not getting treatment for his paw-infected dog] I mean, you left this dog like this, it's like sayin', you got a cut on your arm, you have an infection! Would you go to the doctor? Would you wait?... A year? No!

Good Show

I've become especially fond of this show not just as a pet lover but as a person who once worked in a humane society. Sort of a cross of "Cops" and "Animal Kingdom," this show is one of THE shows to watch on Animal Planet along with "Animal Precinct" and "Croc Hunter." Much like the previous commenter, I too have become quite a fan of Anne Marie Lucas among the other officers on the show. This is an interesting show that reveals the true side of man's inhumane treatment of animals and for me, it's a very sobering reality.
