What I said is absolutely true.  They only have any 'power' if they are part
of a government agency.  Generally, the Animal Shelter is run by the county
or city government, and animal control officers are law enforcement
officers.  Here, they are like a light form of Sheriff's Deputy.  Codes
Enforcement officers are the same, commissioned officers able to issue
citations.  In our city, the city cannot fine you an amount more than $500
for violation of city ordinances.

I agree, the animal hoarding is a mild form of mental illness when it gets
to a point where they are mistreating the animals, and must be dealt with.
