Due to animal neglect, animal abuse, or improper possession, among other reasons, animals are removed from the holder or caretaker of these animals annually. This can occur on the basis of criminal law or administrative law. RVO is responsible for the temporary shelter and care of these animals. This takes place pending a decision from: 1) the Public Prosecution Service, 2) the Animal Welfare enforcement department of RVO, or 3) the NVWA, regarding the destination of the animal. In some cases, the animals are returned; in other cases, the animals are sold or donated to third parties. The socia
