No one is jumping on any sensationalism. Let's stick strickley to the facts at this time.
All you need to do for verification of this particular incident is Google the name of Tiffany Wilkerson Hood.
I cannot honestly say how many news papers and TV channels have carried this sad sad story. However there is a video taken of them removing the dogs from their deplorable conditions. How much more proof would you need just from that?????
If that is not enough you can contact the vaious creditable reporters that turned in the stories and ask them where they got their information.
Reporters that carry their own byline are there because they are respected for integrity and abilty to report the facts.
1. Tiffany Wilkkerson Hood was cited and fined in February of this year for unsanitary conditions of her dogs.
2. They revisited her again on June --- due to follow up or neighbors complaining about conditions.
3. They found 4 children left alone in the house with 37 dogs in various stages of neglect, plus 2 dead and decaying bodies of dogs.
As quoted by Det. Bill Holwick, Macon County Sheriff Dept. "It was the worst conditions he had ever seen"
4. There has been no mention by anyone or any rebuttals to the stories printed stating the children were all at McDonald's having lunch with their mother.
5. They stated all the dogs and children were removed from the home.
6. If you want to take the time-- look up in the records of Incorportation to verify who are listed as Managers of the BTRA (Biewer Terrier Registry of America)
You find that both Tamara Beebe and Tiffany Wilkerson are listed.
7. Further look at your BTRA certified pedigree to ascertain who signed your pedigree. Tamara Beebe
8. Now go to the website ---- where you will find a picture of mother and daughter as a team- for the Mi-Ki's.
9.Let's not try to change the subject by bringing up the names of Georgia Warren and Dee and Dan Ashley. They had nothing to do with this incident concerning Tiffany Wilkerson Hood.
10. As of today NONE, REPEAT, NONE OF THE DOGS WERE RETURNED TO TIFFANY OR ANYONE THAT REPRESENTED THEMSELVES AS A MEMBER OF TIFFANY’S FAMILY. 32 dogs have been already adopted with 4 still needing homes according to Amanda Fisher of the Macon County Animal Control.
The judge ruled that Tiffany could not get any of the dogs back. Your may verify these facts by contacting the Amanda Fisher the Macon County Control
Phone 217-425-4508
11. Tiffany was released free on bond. She was arraigned July 12 with a trial date set August 29.
12. I feel sorry for the dogs but most of all I feel for the children of Tiffany Wilkerson Hood. Where was their family support when they needed it. |
Thankfully 30 dogs were all adopted last week I believe. Our local news station did a news story on one of the families that adopted a dog.
Good to see all the dogs get good homes after the horrible conditions they had been living in.
These definitely weren't Biewer's. Not sure if she is still associated with her mother in that respect. These were Shih Tzu's and Mi-Ki's.
