My only hope is that a rescue steps up or someone from the shelter steps up and takes them into their home and fosters them through the court case. It really upsets and sickens me to think of these poor babies living months or years in a cage at the ASPCA but sadly this does happen. We can all cry and post but really we need to write out legislators in order to get laws changed. Cases like this need to be expedited for the sake of the animal but sadly here in the US an animal is just goods. I bet not everyone knew that if your dog is killed you can only get back what the replacement cost for the dog would be and nothing more and that you cannot sue for pain and suffering for your dog is it should be in an attack, you can only sue for the vet bills incurred. Dogs are goods and in cruelty cases this is how they continue to be treated. These dogs belong to the a hole that abused them until the case is proven. They are property. It's a sad state of affairs the world we live in. Elaine |
