1-Yea, pretty sure the story is biased.
2-So? It was dying and she only helped it.
3-That she did
4-If the owner loved the dog alot, wouldn't they be happy she saved it and gave it medical attention?
5-Yep, she's guilty.

We need more info. Did she leave information at the house about how to contact her regarding the dog and what she did?

 

[Number1]

The SPCA was on its way to look into this case. She should have left the dog there. She is going to learn the hard way.

Poor dog.

Poor dog.

id rather take the consequences than knowing I left a helpless dog there to die. I could at least sleep in jail. If I didnt help, I would have nightmares of that dogs image which would be worse than jail.

 

[amdhunter]

They should kill the owners of that dog. Damned pieces of sh!t. :disgust:

:roll:

Too bad people that think it is OK for the dog to suffer rather than help don't get to suffer the same fate as the dog.

 

[MrCodeDude]

If two people called this lady because they were concerned of the well-being of the dog, I'm more than sure nothing will come of this. I would expect a lot of bad publicity for the city's humane shelter, police department and the animal's owners.

 

[Howard]

The Chief seems to have incredibly unprofessional conduct.

Definitely.

 

[alm4rr]

be nice to see the transcript of the hearing next week

 

[edro]

Sounds like some redneck police department. One thing you need to learn about cops is that a lot of them have huge superiority and control complexes. If you try to challenge them, they will fight back fiercely and they have the right. It's a lose-lose for the citizen.

Nah, you wouldn't.

 

[imported_Rat]

Oh, I thought she assisted her neighbor who wanted to dye the animal. That did seem a bit strange.

 

[imported_Rat]

And she's a crook.

 

[granolagirl]

She did the right thing.

Dogs Deserve Better member leaves group over arrest

By Mark Leberfinger, mleberfinger@altoonamirror.com

Beth Yale of Valdosta, Ga., says she believes in animal welfare but doesn?t support what happened Monday in East Freedom.

Yale was the area representative in Valdosta for Dogs Deserve Better, a Tipton-based dog protection organization, with about 150 area representatives in the United States, Canada and Australia.

Yale resigned after organization founder Tammy Sneath Grimes was arrested.

Grimes is charged with stealing Jake, a 19-year-old German shepherd-black labrador mix. She says she took the dog off his chain and to the veterinarian to keep him from dying.

Jake was taken to a vet after a neighbor saw him lying on the ground, not moving for three days, Grimes said.

Grimes? justification doesn?t matter, Yale said.

?I feel we cannot push anti-tethering legislation while we are breaking the laws already in place,? Yale said.

Grimes? response to Yale?s resignation: ?See ya.?

?You cannot leave a dog to die for three days. It?s not ethically right. Any area representative not on board with this should not be with us,? Grimes said.

Jake?s owners, who deny any abuse, aren?t charged with a crime. Freedom Township police and the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society say they have no evidence of Jake?s abuse and have been rebuffed in efforts to see the dog to examine the claims.

?She was always adamant about not breaking the laws. The dog was certainly in need of help, but no one from the outside can be judge and jury without notifying proper authorities,? Yale said.

Grimes won?t reveal the whereabouts of the dog she calls Doogie but says he is doing better and was seen by another vet.

Utah-based Best Friends Animal Society says it will support the effort to have the criminal charges dismissed, according to a written statement. The society also says it will work with Blair County government on legislation to allow concerned residents to intervene in cruelty to animals cases without repercussions.

Yup, the paper does seem a little biased.

warning: website was very slow for me. may be slow for others.

"so I made the decision that I would not leave him lying there on the cold wet ground for one moment longer, and I would accept all consequences of my decision."


and now she's crying about it

 

[Aharami]

in my eyes she's not guilty because IMO high morals > law

 

[AnitaPeterson]

It's amazing to see how some people keep on banging the "private property" drum, without any consideration for what's the humane and Christian (!) thing to do...

 

[alm4rr]

interesting

 

[mattocs]

Dogs and people are both living. I'd pick a strange dog over most strange people any day.

 

[RaiderJ]

I am all for helping mistreated animals, but two wrongs don't make a right. She should have found a better way to help the animal. Getting thrown in jail doesn't really help anyone.
