The following link is from the ASPCA website and explains what can and should be done in cases of animal cruelty. According to this site, both law enforcement officials AND agents of the Ohio Humane Society have the authority to investigate AND to make arrests. Specific Ohio codes are referenced, with a synopsis of each. So, maybe the best place to start is with the Ohio Humane Society. I'm sure that they would be able to also point us in the direction of a knowledgeable lawyer, but even before that, they have the authority to investigate, which should involve taking pictures and video of the whole McKay operation. <http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=cruelty_investigate_ohio> Jeff In memory of Neo Welcoming into our home Trinny, Morphy, and Baby Girl [Posted in FML 5532]
