| Need Advise about Dog Abuse My father in law passed away in Jan. this year. His wife of 2 years is a puppy mill breeder, she had a boxer that she breed so much that it ended up with cancer and was put to death. She has the male boxer, and two other dogs in a pen that is no bigger than 8 by 10. It is never cleaned out. She has another dog that is chained to maybe a 3 foot chain. My husband and I gave my father in law a shih a poo puppy for a companion because he lost his golden. This puppy came from a puppy mill, we bought it to save her from being bred. She was to young to be fixed when we gave her to him. His wife of 2 years, now has the dog. She plans to start breeding her now and would not give her to us. We were there this last few days to settle the estate. I am not bitter about anything with this woman over anything, my father in law had a will and things were fine for my husband and I. I just don't want the dog to be bred to death, and of course the other dogs are in such awful conditions. It makes you sick to see such abuse. I thought the dogs conditions when we were there for 2 weeks in Jan before he passed away and during that it was just because he was sick, but now I can see it isn't. Does anyone have any pull in the state of Indiana about dog abuse? She lives in Muncie, Indiana. I don't want this to be swept under the rug. So if anyone can help me, please let me know. Thanks so much for any help, Sandy and Chance |

| I plan to do that, but I had hoped that someone could give me more options to help get behind me, like other special interest groups so it could have more weight behind it. I have other messages posted in some other groups I'm in. We have to go back to Muncie, Indiana, to sell some of DH fathers things. I want to be there to make sure something is done. |

| Thats good Sandy ....... maybe once you've laid the formal complaint you should contact the local TV/Radio stations as they often have a person who takes up causes and this type of situation would most likely be of great interest to them - it certainly would be newsworthy. |

| Maybe you need to threaten her. Tell her to clean up or you contact the authorities. If she laughs, call the authorities. But maybe she'll just do it now for fear you just may do it!!
