Two women who run an animal rescue operation are facing aggravated animal cruelty charges after cops caught them with more than 100 dogs and one cat stuffed in the back of a U-Haul truck without food, water, or adequate air, police said.
Bonnie Sheehan, 55, and Pamela A. King-McCracken, 59, were busted in Fayette County, Tennessee, on Tuesday when a cop making a traffic stop noticed a rank smell and discovered 128 dogs and a lone cat suffering in squalid conditions in the back of the truck and an attached van, the Commercial Appeal reported.
Dozens of cages were stacked on top of each other in the truck, some holding four or five dogs smeared with their own feces, while other pooches were caged inside dog houses secured with wired grates, the Appeal reported.
One of the dogs was dead, police said.
Why is it always women?
hope that was rhetorical:-)))
As I’ve said before in prog-talk “Rescue” = steal with intent to resell
Of more interest to me is as loathsome as these “rescue” creatures are they were preyed upon by even darker forces who will gas these mutts just for shits@giggles
O.k., and rhetorically, why does it seem to be almost always women?
“Why is it always women?”
We’ve all heard of crazy cat ladies but never crazy cat men.
You will notice I didn’t say crazy dog woman, eh.
They were just practicing simulations of various scenarios they will be expected to deal with later on
– when they receive their appointments as camp commandants.
PETA come,PETA was adopt,PETA will kill 75 to 80% of the animals
Spurwing Plover; Is that a sentence in English? I see in it no proper use of verbs, no spaces following commas, no punctuation at the end of the what we will jokingly refer to as a sentence, and no sense to the whole thing. English is perhaps your second language, or third, or fourth? If I were you I’d go back to my Grade two teacher and ask for a repeat of the English lessons.
Defence: Your Honour, we will show the court that my client could not form the requisite intent to commit the crime with which she is charged because she suffers from PTSD.
His Honour: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
Defence: No your Honour, Puppy Truckin’ Stackin’ Disease.
That was three years ago. Why is it coming up now?
JohnPeg “Spurwing Plover; Is that a sentence in English?” – Maybe not illiterate illiterate – might be Australian??

Looks tasty!

You leave Spurwing alone.
There you go, JohnPeg, our hostess has spoken. Spurwing Plover has been around the blogosphere for a long time. I suggest you simply disregard his posts, if you don’t get the humour in them. I regard him as a poet with a sly sense of humor. He has quite a few fans around the Internet, and for Kate to have him as a regular here at SDA can be regarded as quite a coup.
A bunch of years ago I was active in dog breeding and active on some of the canine talk boards. When I started my own board, I refused to have a rescue section. The rescue boards are full of insane, hysterical drama. I would not allow that on my board. They didn’t like it much when I called them “Rescue Mills,” but that is pretty much what many of them are. Lots of dog crates in living rooms. And they will lie through their teeth during placement. They move a lot of bad dogs that should be put down.
I would never take a dog from a Rescue Mill.
I lived in Fayette County for 7 years. Bonnie was the ‘rescue lady’ then, back in the late 80’s, early 90’s. They get some kind of hoarder/saviour complex.
Thank God I have never been the preferred vet for any rescue groups. I never see a dog that was a free dog anymore, all new dogs that weren’t bought from breeders, are ‘rescue dogs’.
Okay, it was a different Bonnie. My bad.
