| I hope y'all don't mind if I keep this bumped up. I'm hoping someone will see it that hasn't seen it yet and will join us in emailing the appropriate folks and maybe help save these babies.

| It sickens me , to know that the nasty woman is getting 60 dogs back. Because the law was not followed to a tee? It was an emergency, they could not leave the animals one more day in those conditions. It is disgusting and feels my heart with anger. I will email the propper authorites and protest the return of these animals. It saddens me to realise the animals have no rights, and are easily placed back in the same horrific conditions. How can they sleep at night?

| Thank You mscat! I know I didn't start this thread, but I feel so strongly about this and it bothers me so much! I wish so badly I could do more The poor dogs are just a drop in the bucket as far as what we're up against, but we know about these and hopefully the outcry to stop this woman and will help and raise awareness.

| And think of the foster parents who have been caring for these animals, to know they have to turn them over to her! I don't think I could do it!

| Please sign this Petition The following link will take you to the petition I wrote last night. Please sign it and send it on to everyone you can. I will then send it on August 2nd to any and every legal entity that could do anything. Any suggestions would of course be welcomed! Don't Reward Teresita Hughes Cruelty Petition : [ powered by iPetitions.com ] We, the undersigned, respectfully request the judgment in favor of the return of 60 dogs to Teresita Hughes as ordered by Judge Myra Scott McNary be overturned. Ms. Hughes callous disregard for the welfare of the animals is evidenced in the video of the seizure and by testimony of a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Deputy Carolyn Wagner that the animals had insufficient air or exercise and their food was tainted with feces. Living in filthy and deplorable conditions, the dogs which counted six to eight per cage were crowded and forced to live in rooms with little ventilation where the stench of urine and feces made your eyes tear and your nose burn. Hughes admitted to not allowing the dogs out of their cages for “at least the past four months,” proof they had spent endless days walking only on wire-bottom cages. $100,000 in veterinary fees paid for by public donations to a rescue organization is testimony to the condition of the animals when they were seized. Further, we ask that Ms. Hughes be prosecuted to the full extent of the law in accordance with the following: FLORIDA ANTI CRUELTY LAW Florida Statute 828.12 et seq. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS is defined as: “Overloads, overdrives, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance or shelter, or unnecessarily mutilates, or kills any animal, or causes the same to be done, or carries in or upon any vehicle, or otherwise, any animal in a cruel or inhumane manner”. This is a 1st Degree Misdemeanor with a fine up to $5000 and/or imprisonment up to 1 year. INTENTIONAL ANIMAL CRUELTY is defined as: “commits an act to any animal which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering.” This is a 3rd Degree Felony with a fine up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment up to 5 years. Intentional Cruelty with “knowing and intentional torture or torment of an animal that injures, mutilates, or kills the animal” carries a minimum fine of $2500 and completion of a psychological or anger management treatment program. To return the animals, now vetted courtesy of INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS, with required weekly visits by the Humane Society, paid for by OUR TAXES, so that Ms. Hughes can continue to profit from her breeding business is a travesty of justice and a huge slap in the face to all of us who PAY OUR OWN BILLS. We pray you will “do the right thing” for those who are totally at your mercy. |
