Thanks everyone!!! the animal cops shows don't quite show everything.....some of it would be a little too graphic for television.... It's a tough job, but I love it! I can kick off on people for not caring for their animals.... several of the dogs have gotten nice at the shelter, one red heeler was nice at the house. one puppy that I pulled out of the den the dogs had dug had to be put down that night at the shelter, this pup was really lethargic and sick. Two of the other pups are sick and isolated for now. several adults are now acting nice....I went in and visited with them. hopefully they will be turned over and we can work with the friendly ones to get them homes.....doubt the mother dog will be nice enough to adopt. we will be going to the district attorney's office to screen charges....could have cited her there, but want to get as much against her as we could and get the prosecutor's backing not letting her have any animals period!!!
things like this can be really disturbing to the average person.....after doing this for 11 years you tend to build a little immunity....get a little bit used to it....it always sucks to see, but you don't let it bother you that much....and also feel good that you are helping the animals....sometimes euthanasia is better for the animals than living the way they do....
Christmas was fun and brightened my day!!!!

I couldn't do your job, Don. I'd end up hurting somebody.
I just read the transcript from the trial of a couple of guys in Oregon who tortured a black bear cub to death......
They wanted to keep the pelt in tact, so they killed the baby bear by repeatedly stabbing it in the eyes with a pen-knife. They took video of the whole thing, one of the guys even made his 7 year old son stab the bear in the eye.
They got 'community service'.
Personally. I would have been a little harsher.

To be honest, Don, it was more horrific than I posted.... but I don't want to post it on here.
