Baker says he had to pay $490 to APS, and is accusing the animal protection agency for using him as a cash grab.

“They’re using the dogs for as a campaign for donations. Because the dogs are shipped to kennels and humane societies in Alberta and they’ll be getting $250-$300 apiece for the dogs,” Baker explained.
