Is it?

You can not deprive a person of their personal property without due cause and proper procedure.

well there is a law about not taking care of your pet..if your homeless,how exactly are you going to give adaquete shelter,food,vaccinations,are you going to leave the pet unnattended without a leash or yard? ..do you starve or let the dog starve?go to this site and read the answer to "are you allowed to own pets if you dont have housing for them"also read when can animal authorities take away your pets.the fact is if the homeless person is taking good care of their pet ,then there is no reason why they cant have one....even animal cops on the animal channel has let homeless have their pet back because they were being properly being cared for .it would be like me telling you that you cant have a pet because you have brown eyes...it doesnt matter that you would take care of the pet..you cant have it .see that would be unconstitutional.so yes your teacher is right.ive got a better law,try this ,how about harsher laws/fines for people who purposly abuse/neglect their pet?most fines are just a slap on the wrist with small amount of jail time or fines depending on the state you live in.
