Peng1zrule Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I don't know if anyone heard about, or remembers, that older lady in Union County, North Carolina, who was busted for a puppy mill--she had over 250 starving, dirty, sickly dogs on her property. Well, two days ago the news ran an update on her story--she has been ordered to pay over 37,000 dollars for the vet bills for those little dogs, as well as community service! yay! I'm glad all those little dogs got some justice...and now they can be adopted out, finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieangel Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 That is good news :wink: but I wish she had got a custodial sentence too,has she been banned from owning dogs now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng1zrule Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 I think so...I was astounded she had to pay that money, I barely heard the rest of the broadcast...she had been busted twice before and allowed to walk free, and this time she had the audacity to go before the court and say the dogs were not abused and that she deserved them back!! She cannot have them back, and I beleive she isn't allowed to own anymore...I'll have to check... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I live in Charlotte and know many people involved in the case. This is the email we received last week and the link to the local news coverage. [quote]Here's the article from the Observer. More accurately, the dogs can be placed with new owners once the judgement is entered UNLESS her attorney files notice of appeal ... which he undoubtedly will. So there's a good chance that they'll have to stay in foster homes for another 18-24 months. You can help be donating to the Humane Society of Union County, PO Box 101, Monroe NC, 28111. Check out their website [url]www.hs-uc.com[/url] to see if you can help with in-kind donations of supplies, equipment, etc. HUSC is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, tax deductible, I'm not sure why their URL ends in ".com" rather than ".org". It just does. Sarah [url]http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/news/6423531.htm[/url][/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacer126 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Send her to jail!!! or do to her what she did to those dogs. Starve her and let her get sick, see how she likes it. That could be a new kind of community service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
