Family pug seized by town over unpaid debts and sold on eBay

German media report that officials in Ahlen initially wanted to seize the wheelchair of a disabled resident as the most valuable item on the premises.
Instead, they settled on a pedigree pug bitch named Edda.
quote:
She told the newspaper that a court bailiff and two city officials arrived at her home in November to search for valuables to repay the debts owed to the city. At first, they considered seizing the wheelchair belonging to her disabled husband, she said. But it was not their property, belonging instead to an employee insurance association.
Edda, it turned out, was the most valuable possession in the home.
quote:
The family in question had allegedly failed to pay its debts to the town, including a dog tax. The pug, called Edda, was sold online for 750 euros ($854).

Now that pug has a reason to show his Buster Keaton hang-dog expression in a picture.

The "taking the wheelchair" first thought, kind of softened the blow on ending up with the dog.
If you cant support yourself you shouldnt have pets to support.

I will hurt someone badly if they tried to take Butters from me.

Because they are contemporary living examples of the kind of government some in politics say they want here.

I didnt say I agree with it, but not sad that they took the dog. Hell I dont know where this was, figured it was here in the states somewhere until the currency was mentioned.
If you owe taxes/debts then you pay them. Pretty simple. Not sure whats hard with that concept for you anarchist "libertarians"

These same big governement, meddling busybodies have already gained power in states like California, NY, Oregon and Washington. Don't think they won't find ways to confiscate any wealth you have to give part of it away to the "needy" and pocket the rest.

Over my dead body.

I didn't say you agreed. I was facetiously making a point.
and I'm no libertarian.
Taxes/debts is one thing, stealing someones dog is grounds for violence.
You come into my home and try to take my dogs, I will shoot you. Simple as that.

For me, I was pretty shocked that their first intention was to take the disabled family members wheel chair
That is pretty low
That is pretty low

I do agree with the premise here, but at the same time they owe taxes. The rules there are not the same as here, so we cant look at their laws thru OUR "red, white, and blue" tinted glasses. Just like I HATE it when foreigners come here, and start telling us how to do things. (this honestly is the downfall of this country, and one of my biggest pet peeves I will fight against)
Theres a dog tax. They owe it. They cant pay it. Take the dog they cant support to have. Simple as 1,2,3. If they dont like it then they have to get the laws changed.
Though it is important for us to know this is happening since it does seem to make it's way here. Like keeping an eye on crazy cali shite.

I would never take an old lady’s precious pug.
The bond between owner and pug is a strong one.
