Here is a follow up article from the Altoona Mirror regarding Tammy Grimes' case. The general sentiment I am seeing from animal rights quacks is that if animal control had actually done there job she wouldn't have been forced to break the law. I find several flaws in that assessment.

First, no one forced her to break the law, and she said when she did it she accepted full responsibility for her actions. Yet, for the last 15 months she has been claiming she took the dog, but wanted to be let off free. If she truly accepted the consequences of breaking the law she wouldn't have been so insistent that she didn't break the law even though she stole a dog.

Second, animal control organizations across the country are underfunded and overworked. If they truly wanted to fix the problem that caused the situation they would use all the publicity generated to draw attention to the situation of animal control. You can't blame them for not being able to respond to a call as quickly as you like when they lack the resources to do so.

Tammy Grimes Follow Up

Here is a particularly disturbing story that has surfaced recently. Apparently, a man left his dog at the clubhouse when he went golfing. While he was golfing, two employees stole the dog and slaughtered it to be eaten. The names of the two suspects have not been released so it may be difficult to follow this through to a trial. I will post more as I find it.

Dog Stolen and Eaten

The last story today is about a puppy that was stolen from the home. It is a rare color and supposedly worth as much as $5,000. This is a common form of theft where thieves target homes they know have rare dogs. Since the dog is still a puppy it makes it easy to transport, and due to the demand for the dog it is an easily movable commodity. The owners typically will offer a large reward for their puppy, no questions asked, which in my opinion is the worst thing you could do. Sure, you will probably get your dog back, from the very thieves who stole it, but at the expense of perpetuating the cycle. It happens so frequently that it wouldn't surprise me if thieves steal the dog with the intention of returning it for a reward.
