That’s a real shame. How can he fight a bunch of trumped up lies?

Here are a couple of local news articles about his dogs being taken –

The first article had a longer clip that I saw when it was first broadcast and they seemed more sympathetic to his plight, I wonder if that 29 News would do another story on this? They showed some nice insulated dog houses and his set ups are fine, nice pens for pups and kennels and a couple chain spots.

I just looked at the video in the second news story link and they show photos of the “evidence papers”… They list all sorts of stupid stuff, like a paper plate, a bottle of fish oil, 5 bones, a metal spring, a bottle of unknown liquid, 2 bottles, a slip cable, 6 chains, bag of feed, animal skin, a harness, a pellet gun, container with books and papers, a computer, etc…

What they said in the hearing yesterday sounds ridiculous. Their “expert” said the dogs were 8% dehydrated, did they ever think that maybe this was from the stress of being taken, and 8% is not life threatening. And teeth were filed? And the dogs had worms? What BS.

And they want $30,000 for holding his dogs for 9 months? Wow, that is just wrong. Even without that, he needs deep pockets to fight the court stuff, let alone the dogs’ care bills, when they could have just let those dogs stay where they were.

It sure sounds like a lot of trumped up crap, as don’t they usually have to serve a search warrant and have animal control look into how the dogs are kept before they just storm in and take all the dogs?

Did he ever take his dogs to any confirmation shows? If he can prove he shows the dogs as a hobby, this might help. Treadmills are used for other breeds too, and so are breeding stands.

You might get more support by posting his story on Facebook. I am not on Facebook but it gets a lot of use and might be worth a try.
