Check out this article. I'm not sure how I feel about it ... I have mixed emotions. Part of me is glad these women were willing to go to such an extreme and risk legal repercussions to help an animal in need but another part of me believes they went too far and crossed the lines or right and wrong. It's one thing to do love animals and want to protect them ... it's another thing to be a vigilante and take the law into your own hands. But then again (that conflicting emotion), I feel that they must really have a strong love for dogs if they were willing to sacrifice so much just to save a dog/dogs that they didn't even know.
I'm confused.

ATLANTA -- Four women associated with an animal rescue group are facing charges related to the burglary of a home and the theft of two dogs last month.
The charges stem from an incident on February 10 when the four were allegedly involved in a scheme to enter a home in South Forsyth County and take two dogs who were tied up inside the home.
Stacy Lynn Sarros, age 33, Holly Michelle Cohen, age 40, Laura Streetman Thielemann, age 43 and Amanda Prentice, age 48 all face multiple charges, including burglary, conspiracy to commit a crime and obstruction of an officer.
Sarros, Cohen and Thielemann all reside in Forsyth County. Prentice is a resident of Duluth.
The alleged victim, Linda Green, said she had been contacted by a person representing a local animal rights organization ? A.W.O.O.F. ? who offered help in providing a dog house and fencing for her dogs.
Officials say an investigation led them to the suspects. Authorities contacted the four women and they agreed to meet with investigators and return the dogs. The suspects turned themselves in Tuesday.
Forsyth County Sheriff?s Office Investigator, Sgt. Bill Franco said the dogs were not being abused. They were being restrained in a room with cable tie-outs and had food, water and bedding.
A.W.O.O.F. stands for ?Animal Welfare Organization of Forsyth?.
The four were booked into the jail and have been released on a $17,875 bond.
