| Update on Tarpon Springs Puppy Mill Rescue I know alot of you have been wondering what has been developing in the case against Teresita Hughes. This statement has been issued today from the Suncoast Animal League regarding the criminal aspect of the case: August 7, 2008 We have recently learned that the Office of the State Attorney for Pinellas County has filed a 46-count information against Teresita Hughes for cruelty to animals. Each count is for misdemeanor animal cruelty, punishable by up to one year imprisonment and/or up to a $5,000 fine for each count. Ms. Hughes' arraignment is scheduled for August 18, 2008. We will keep you updated, as we learn more. Thank you for your continued support. As for custody of the dogs, I believe an appeal is being filed or has been filed. The dogs remain for now in the custody of Suncoast Animal League. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That's the best news I've heard in a long time, and I hope all the other terrible breeders get the message as well. Let her live in the conditions her dogs lived in, see how she likes it.

| She should spend a year in jail for each animal that had to suffer in her care. She should have to spend her life in jail, so she will know how it feels to be caged up. Eye for an eye...
