The house in this case and dogs don't look pretty, but don't we have to be careful about policing housekeeping and grooming?
I'm not too upset about the parrot that could be in molt. I don't know much about birds but am told molting can look pretty bad.
I like people to have an actual trial before their property is taken away from them. |
That is not molt on that bird. It clearly looks like feather picking which can happen. My guess is though that the poor bird has never seen a vet.
As for trials prior.....that is not even logical in abuse/neglect cases. First of all, there has to be a warrant and again, while I don't know Mississippi laws. they usually are not easy to obtain in animal abuse/neglect cases. There IS a court date set immediately and the animals are not the property of the city/state or whoever seized until the judge makes a ruling based on evidence.
