Additionally, if it turns out that a "stray" brought to the shelter is owned and doesn't show any physiological signs of mistreatment or neglect, the animal must be returned to the owner after the recovery fee is paid. That unfortunately includes cases where the owner is homeless, living in their car, senile, etc. Remember that in the United States, companion animals are chattel. An animal doesn't legally belong to the shelter until they've been living there for a certain amount of time. When an animal finishes that wait period, they become "emancipated" and are then in the shelter's custody. | Additionally, if it turns out that a "stray" brought to the shelter is owned and doesn't show any physiological signs of mistreatment or neglect, the animal must be returned to the owner after the recovery fee is paid.

I can assure you that the procedure is now under serious review. Also, the fact that Larson lied on his adoption form could potentially be grounds to dissolve the contract under which Zola was adopted to him. | I can assure you that the procedure is now under serious review.

The adoption fee was likely around $100, which Daniel was easily able to afford due to his then active [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]]. While the shelter did not allow the homeless to adopt, Daniel lied on his application, claiming to live in an RV, which allowed him to adopt Music as they took Daniel by his word. | The adoption fee was likely around $100, which Daniel was easily able to afford due to his then active [[Cameo Arc|Cameo]].

Even more confusingly, Music was later found to have [https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/giardia-in-dogs Giardia], a parasitic infection that affects the digestive system. Daniel would later claim that he got dry food for her, but no video or photo evidence of this would ever surface, which lead community members to question the validity of this.

He had taken a video while Daniel was seated at a Jimmy Johns, where he's seen talking to Daniel about his new "guard dog" while taunting [[World of T-Shirts|Joshua Block]]. After this interaction, Daniel would start posting videos of Music, most notably one where he goaded her to look at camera, only for Music to ignore him. This immediately sparked shock in the community when they realized that this was not someone else's dog, but a dog he had adopted himself.{{#evt: | |||

This sparked immediate calls to collect Music and bring her back to the Longmont Humane Society. Despite the fact it is likely illegal to take the dog from him, Daniel had lied about his living arrangements to adopt her and had therefore adopted her fraudulently. Secondly, Daniel was a frequent caller of the Denver police, so the odds of him being taken seriously when calling in were ultimately slim. Third, Daniel has little idea of how the [[Daniel and the Law|legal system]] actually works (and additionally, he has been sent to jail several time), and no matter how many unspecified legal threats he would make, it is most likely that no charges would be pressed.

This call to action reached the ears of many people, most notably one of Daniel's older managers, [[Ox|Ox.]] Even though the opinion of Ivan in the community is largely negative, him posting in the subreddit about his attempts to rescue Daniel's dog lead people to be hopeful that he could maybe redeem himself and return with Music safely. In the time it took Ox to arrive from Wyoming, Goated Mines and many others called Longmont Animal Control and the Longmont Humane Society. While the Humane Society did not answer the phone, presumably due to the amount of harassment they were receiving, Animal Control was made aware of the situation. This would later be corroborated by Ox, who said he'd seen Animal Control checking the Longmont area when he finally arrived in Colorado. | This call to action reached the ears of many people, most notably one of Daniel's older managers, [[Ox|Ox.]] Even though the opinion of Ivan in the community is largely negative, him posting in the subreddit about his attempts to rescue Daniel's dog lead people to be hopeful that he could maybe redeem himself and return with Music safely.

In these videos, she looked incredibly hot and anxious, and could be heard whimpering. | ||
Eventually, the Longmont Humane Society saw fit to issue a public statement regarding the situation, only a day after the adoption. In their statement, the Longmont Humane Society acknowledged the situation and informed the public that they were doing everything in their power to get Music away from Daniel. | Eventually, the Longmont Humane Society saw fit to issue a public statement regarding the situation, only a day after the adoption.
