The poster of that article did not put all the facts out there and is misleading!
Couple Baffled Over Animal Cruelty Charges - KTEN.com Sherman Denison Ardmore News Weather Sports
They didnt just drive from Pottsboro to Dallas for a birthday lunch.
They were in Dallas all weekend with the dogs. Read all the reports:
They checked out of their hotel saturday mid morning and was on their
way to the next hotel and stop for a quick bite to eat meeting
friends, one of which was a police officer himself. He saw the seat
down and the DPD officers that were there on the scene know this! They
know the fire dept messed up- it was not the police that did this.
Read ALL the articles- it was the fire dept. But still, all in all the
DPD continued to make it worse. The Shipmans were on their way to
their next hotel thus having the dogs with them still spending their
money in our city. I dont see anything wrong with what they did on a
55 degree cloudy day. Ask the parking lot attendant when they left the
lot. You know he remembers that girls tons of blonde curls.
Furthermore the city is making the case for the Shipmans by claiming
the dogs were locked in the trunk, when in fact they were not.
REGARDLESS, The fact the city is claiming they were in the truck is
proving they could have and should have broken a window out to
"rescue" the dogs much faster and safer. Since they say the dogs were
locked in the trunk then their full of u know what for saying they
couldnt break a window for fear the glass would or could hurt the
dogs. Mmmmmm waaaaait a minute Mr Fireman YOU said the dogs were in
the trunk so how is it that they could get hurt with glass being broke
IF they werent in the car? Proves their lying trying to cover their
butts! They didn't see the dogs is what the witnesses and the DFD are
saying.... Their Yorkies are small- how do they know they werent under
the seats?
Then as if everything they did wasnt stupid enough they
continued to use 2 police cars and 4 officers to guard the car they
destroyed for over another hour and a half when the couple left the
parking lot "because there were unsecure valuables in the car" But yet
couldnt wait for them in the very beginning for a few? OR do some real
police work to find them? Besides, How is it that when they (shipmans)
left the dogs in their car for 20-30 minutes it was illegal and Cruel
but the city takes them and puts them in their car for an hour and a
half while they interrogate the man and its not illegal or cruel!!!
Theyre going to burn up in the sonata but not in their car? What in
the world! This is all just so ridiculous.
Texas does not have a law against leaving pets in your car nor does the city of dallas have an
ordnance against it. The states animal cruelty law says severe and
extreme hot and humid temps or severe extreme or freezing temps or
emanate danger. 55 degree cloudy day are none of these. SO since the
DFD destroyed this car rescuing these dogs since DFD believed they
were in such severe and emanate danger then DFD took both dogs to be
seen by a vet right away to be checked out, right? Just to make sure
they were ok since they were in such danger right??? RIGHT? I want to
read that vet examination of them? Wait, you mean they didnt do that?
They just took these poor abused dogs put them in their car for an
hour and a half then drove them to the shelter and just threw them in
cages??? WHAT????!!!!! Come on people!!! Are you serious? Then give
them back the very next day with no questions asked! PLEASE DALLAS!
Pay these people what their estimate says its going to cost to fix
before they get an attorney sue for more AND WIN!!! Any scenario the
city tries to spin it the Shipmans are going to win. They have a
police officer as a witness and their vet is backing them 100%!
