Okay, I have a question to pose here... I see kind of a catch 22... Ideally the BEST and most Logical thing to have happen would be the Permanent CLOSING of this shelter?? Shelter, hmmm... I have trouble calling it that! Unfortunately, sooooo UNFORTUNATELY, the law has decided that closing the shelter is not nessasary... (and people wonder why so many hooomins dont trust the legal system)... Here's the dilema... if this monster is permitted to continue to take in animals how do we protect the animals?? The choices are obviously to get the animals out of her care... but how do we do that?? Adopt from her?? (making room for another fert??) And if NOBODY adopts from her what is to become of the animals?? This is such a sad case! OMG, I cant imagine putting ANY animal through the pain and suffering this person put those fert through, I can only assume that the other animals were also abused and neglected... Im now wondering if there is something that WE as a fert (animal loving) comunity can do to keep this person from continuing in the destructive behaviour. Obviously the FIRST, most logical choice for help has failed the animals... the LAW... so, now what?? My heart just weeps for the animals that have been injured, neglected or disrespected and for those that still will if this place is not boarded up and shut down for good! There has to be a way (legal) that this can be stopped... how about MASS picketing? excersizing a legal right to demonstrate?? Activism has stopped many a monster!
