Paris Hilton at her rented beach house last summer (7/2007)

Paris Hilton is under investigation by the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services for owning too many dogs. Us Weekly writes:

The Los Angeles Department of Animal Services visited the heiress' home earlier this week to investigate a complaint about her dogs. By law, a non-breeder in L.A. is only allowed to own three dogs per address. A Department of Animal Services spokesman said that Hilton - or her pets - were not home when they visited.

Hilton admitted last week on the Ellen DeGeneres show that she owns 17 dogs:

"I have 17 dogs — lots. They all sleep in my bed - well, not all of them, but I let some of them . . . they keep having babies, and I feel bad about giving them away." (Source)

Of course they keep having puppies -- you know the old saying about dogs taking after their owner. Well Paris has been in heat since she was 14. If she had any more men streaming in and out of her house, she'd have to get a parade permit. Clearly the only solution to this problem is euthanasia. As for the dogs, I'm sure they'd all find loving homes.
