Yes. Not good. We posted the sentencing on the Animal Folks website.
Click on News: Bauck on the home page (it's under Resources).
Basically, the Court sentenced Bauck to 15 days in jail, $500 fine, 80 hours community service and supervised probation for one year. The kennel still operates under the ownership of her husband and daughter.
No animals were seized.
We'll be sending out an email soon to everyone (Animal Folks database) with a few suggestions as to what steps can be taken.
This proves again why regulation of this industry is needed --- we have to get the regulatory bill passed. |
This is absolutely ridiculous! 15 days??? That's it? Misdemeanors? THAT'S IT???? I am personally furious about her sentencing. You know what happened to me for selling fake purses? A FELONY, 30 days community service, 3 YEARS FORMAL PROBATION (you have to pay for probation in case anyone didn't know that), over $20,000 fines, and that was for me and my boyfriend. Oh and we had no priors at all. FOR FAKE PURSES! That was them being nice to us too, they wanted us to do 9 MONTHS! We lost our home, everything. We can't get a job now because of the felony. Why wasn't her husband and daughter prosecuted as well? The system is so corrupt. She should have gotten life for her behavior.
Why is the kennel, oops I mean puppy mill, still in operation???
