That just makes me sick. I wish I could just take one of those poor doggies and give them the loving home they deserve :(

This happened about 15 minutes away from my house. It is quite despicable but the local dog advocacy groups, no kill shelters, and many citizens are coming together to provide the best possible care for the dogs.

The woman was arrested for the same thing in 1993 but the case was eventually dismissed in appeals for some reason. We are all hoping that this will be the final straw.

I am intriqued at one common similarity among cases like this. It is quite frequently very old woman. Not that it is an excuse but do they have a different perception of what they are doing because of their age? Wasn't there a post on here that talked about puppy mills getting started after one of the World Wars. Maybe these old ladies dont know that the world has changed and these practices are no longer acceptable. I feel bad for the animals but they are safe now. I feel bad for the old lady because I dont think she knows any better or understands what she has done wrong. I dont think it would be fair to lock her away at her age, hopefully they will send her to a assisted living center or somewhere that she can't have animals.

My brother lives in Monroe !! :o
I think Mary's right, the old lady is OLD ! She needs to be placed in an assisted living placement for the elderly. She probably has a few screws loose !! :roll:
That was just awful, 14 dogs to a 4 dog cage !! :x It really makes you wonder...... :evil:
