| Please sign my petition for Thyme & Sage Ranch trial I just signed up to get to know more about my yorkie and thought it would be fun to talk with other people who had furry children like mine. Skooter is the puppy I adopted in the summer of last year after I lost my Kasey. Kasey was one of Jennifer Petkus's many victims from Thyme and Sage Ranch in Cazenovia Wisconsin. My Kasey had parasites and Parvo. Sadly even though I have a great vet, he was not able to save her after the illnesses ravaged her little body. I had found Kasey, reported to be a yorkie/pap pion mix on Petfinders.com and was told she was a "puppy mill pull". Her adoption fee was $350 and I had been told that she had her vaccinations and had been fostered with a vet so there was no need to ask about her health since Jennifer volunteered all this information. I was somewhat concerned because Jennifer would not let me visit with Kasey and although digital cameras are relatively inexpensive and many cellular phones even have them, I only recieved one picture and not regular updates even though I would ask. Of course within days after my little girl passed away I was able to find out that Jennifer was nothing more than a puppy mill broker and so much more information. My family was crushed when we lost Kasey. It was the second pet we had lost in less than 4 months. We had lost a 15 year old mix from cancer and old age and we were not even sure if we could adopt again after we lost two animals in such a short time. I did however make a pact with my son that I would see that Kasey did not die in vain. This however has not easy since everyone in the county basically blew off any complainant. But as a disabled police officer, I would not be discouraged from continuing. In May she was raided and arrested. Even though the judge gave her very specific conditions for bond, Jennifer is breaking every condition and when she was arrested for bail jumping the judge said he was "too busy" to handle it. The sheriff departments attitude is the same as the judge. When I was referred to the officer that attended the last inspection on the Thyme and Sage Ranch, he was less than happy about the whole situation. When I read from the criminal complaint about the bail jumping charges where the staff from the local humane society said they feared for their safety and the deputy would not intervene, he burst out in rude loud laughter and said he did not feel there was a problem even though to get Jennifer to comply with the inpsection he had attempted to handcuff her and announce that she was under arrest. The depty then said to me that he wished the county would "dump" the money they had "dumped" into this investigation for 3 days. He said that he felt dealing with the drug problem was far more important. The rest of the conversation went no better. The DA's office has a book of 72+ complaints from people like myself but they will not authorize charges. These complaints, many made before the raid, were taken more seriously and documented after Thyme and Sage was raided. I know so many victims like myself that reported everything from the conditions of the "puppy house" to the lack of appropriate shelter, food, and water, to the dead puppies like my own. If you look at Channel 3 news in Madison Wisconsin they have many links for all the reports taken. There is one particular segment where they spoke to the former sheriff, now a county board supervisor, that I had spoken too many times and emailed even more times. I had shared my emails with the reporter and my attempts to get something done. The last email sent to them was dated in December 2008 and asked them NOT to award the animal control contrat to Jennifer again. It went on to say that there was now mange on the ranch and that there were a pile of dead animals in all states of decomposition behind one of the buildings. While no one responded, Jennifer was awarded the contract again because she was the cheapest. Sadly everything I told them was indeed true, as I knew it was, and they just ignored the issue once again. Sadly the former sheriff, count supervisor said on tape that he has only had a "couple" of phone calls and that he talked to me because I was upset that my puppy died. This was not the truth and I am sure that he knew he had been caught but on tape remained cool. As you can see no one in authority in this county is not going to make a change. It will be forced. I am not going to stop until Jennifer is punished accordingly and when each of the elected officials run for re-election I want to be the one that reminds the voters in Richland County about how little these elected officials care about what happens where they live. I warned each of them as I spoke to them that I would not stop and that once this became a big deal, and it would (did), they would be the ones that looked as badly as the woman selling these sick and dying animals. I would be so very happy to give more details or provide documents if anyone would like to read them. My file is huge now...But I won't stop. I am going to put the link here and hope that you all would possibly sign. This woman is pure evil and even though I spent less than a lot of people did my cost was still high and my emotion loss indescribable. Here is the link and I appreciate any signature I can get...For those that have signed already thank you so very much...for those that will sign...I sincerly appreciate it.... http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/see...per-punishment My sincerest thanks to all...

| Taken care of. How can we not care for the creatures of this earth? IMO...the critical issues of this planet are all tied together.......caring for the air, caring for the water, caring for the creatures, caring for people, etc. We will destroy our earth if each issue is not addressed. May there be justice.

| I have signed the petition. My heart is heavy tonight after reading about little Kasey and a thread in the General forum about that monster Steve Danes. May he, this horrible Jennifer and all others like them suffer the same pain and degradation as the poor creatures they torture.

| WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL Her website certainly would lead you to believe she was doing all she could for those dogs that had been in puppy mills and born there.
