| Save Dogs from an Illinois Puppy Mill Please sign this petition for puppy mill dogs in Kankakee County, Illinois. They are called the St. Anne 53 because they came from a trainer park shed in a trailer park called St. Anne. These dogs had no medical treatment and needed seizure medication, amputations, and emergency spays to save their lives, among other things. The two women responsible will not face criminal charges and may even get these dogs back. One of the women has been charged with this before and actually went to jail. The humane society is hoping for 5,000 signatures to send to the Illinois governor. Yorkies are included in this seizure. Millie, a yorkie, needed an amputation for a previously broken leg that was not taken care of. Please sign this petition for the South Suburban Humane Society! http://www.thepetitionsite.com/194/justice-for-the-st-annes-53 Thank you! |

| I just signed! Pretty close to home and I remember when this all went down a few months back. Let me know if there is anything more that I can do. I know a few of the legislators in Springfield The one that was charged previously is she from the Peotone bust when the Yorkies all went to PAWS in Tinley Park?

I have signed the petition And will be following this story further. Thank you for posting this.

| I don't know about the Peotone incident. She was charged with criminal charges for animal abuse in Joliet. Not sure where the animals she had went. They included dogs, cats and, I believe, birds. Definitely contact Lisa Madigan, Pat Quinn and any IL representatives you can. I've written to Lisa Madigan asking her to push the IL Ag Dept to revoke their kennel license. I beg you to do the same! Any connections you have, please use them. These women should not get these dogs back. Thank you for signing! They have been doing business as Adrian's Puppy Paradise online. There are some pretty bad reviews online of smelly conditions, not being able to view the puppy's parents, puppy dying after purchase, etc. |

| I will PM Nancy and see if we can get this out to all of the members of YAP tomorrow. Lisa Madigan is great! I love her! I do think the women that you are talking about are the same ones that were in trouble a few years back. I remember when it happened the PAWS by my house had so much help with all of the Yorkies and other dogs that came in. It was just horrible! They need the book thrown at them for sure! If I was the one doing the throwing it wouldn't be pretty!

| It would be great if Nancy can get this out to even more people. Thank you all for signing. Lisa Madigan is supposed to be for animal rights, so I'm hoping her office does something. You're right, this hasn't been getting the attention it deserves. Maybe getting comments into the "letters to the editor" section of newspapers will help. I believe the next court appearance is going to be in May. I haven't heard from the SSHS yet as to when, but I keep checking. They have also asked that people show up on the court date to protest against these women getting the dogs back. One foster parent (on the petition site) said that they can't give the dogs all the medical treatment they need until their fate is decided. Poor dogs! |

I also signed, but I would not be bragging about knowing any of the theives down in Springfield or in Chicago. Nothing but self serving do nothings. This State is falling apart. | |

| I live in IL and I just signed. I work in an office that's political and we have contact with the governor etc. at times. I'm going to see if I can write a letter and have the president sign it on our letter head. Maybe that will help too. Quote:

| Not bragging at all~this state is in a shambles and it makes me sick! I was once at an even and shook hands with the former governor (now is prison)~I was lucky to get back my hand with my rings still attached. But they are not all bad and really all you need is that one person to be your voice.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I signed, too. I hope they don't disregard the petition because of out-of-staters.

| They will mostly listen to who the voters are in the state but I still signed it to help send a message. This whole thing is wacked and we have all seen it happen time and time again. The dogs that were "rescued" returned to the horrible conditions they lived in because they are property. THE LAWS HAVE TO BE CHANGED!!!!!!
