America - land of the free?? It seems to mean freedom to carry guns (even concealed in some states) and freedom to kill animals at will - but no freedom to defend and protect them. Thank you for highlighting this case, Tobi. I hadn't seen it before. Things haven't improved since 2007 in PA, either. I found this article:
http://www.dogsdeservebetter.org/doogie.html - in which it noted that this brave lady is still being persecuted by the authorities: "...although she had the lowest level misdemeanor, theft of a piece of property valued at $50 or less, she was forced to get permission slips each time she left the state to do her Dogs Deserve Better work, and was even denied permission to travel during the last month because she hadn’t finished the community service". So she couldn't even travel within her own country, of which she is a citizen? What sort of freedom is that?
Further, in 2009 the attempt to go over the DA's head and get the owner of the poor dog prosecuted was rejected. So the owner gets away scot free, the DA can refuse to investigate the cruelty to the dog, and this brave lady suffers. But that is only legal justice, not moral justice. I have no doubts whose heart is the purer, the dog's owner or this lady. Blessings to her!
Moving on to 2013, PA still has a terrible record. "Puppy mill Law Enforcement Office doing poor job" says http://blogcenter.readingeagle.com/a-clo...-poor-job/
