" P.S.......I think PETA and Bo Derek should jump in and help in cases like this! But wait; they're too busy lobbying and marching to actually do anything. And when they accomplish whatever they set out to do, they walk away. Some of us do what we can to help both animals and humans, others remain in their selfish little worlds and do nothing. At least at the end of the day I can say I'm helping in some small way. "

" OMG. I do not agree with having a dog that you never pay attention to, but calling the law because you think the dog is chained in the yard too much? How do you know? You seem to get way too much joy out of disrupting peoples lives with no proof the animal is being abused. "

" A fine would be appropriate, but putting a 65-year-old woman in jail for this is outrageous and does not fit the crime. What kind of society "bleeds" more for animals than it does the unborn? "

" I agree with most of what you said but the part about "Ive called the Law on over a dozen bloomingtnon people who chain an animal in the yard for all its life.If your dog is outside and its worn the grass away where its chained". My dog (bullmastiff) is an inside dog but we do let him out to play in the yard for awhile and go to the restroom. Even though he is not left out there all day where his chain is the grass is worn away. You need get really when calling the cops on people for issues like this. I guess you must not be a dog owner and have no idea. It doesnt take much for grass to to be worn down. "

" Is she a threat to anyone? Yes she is a threat to 100s of Animals. She deserves a long stretch in Jail. Maybe she should be locked in a car with no food or water for Days on end. She doesnt need help,she need PUNISHED. To The person posting as FYI,Yes it is CRIMINAL to torture animals. Locking them up and not feeding them IS torture. I personally look for people who mistreat animals. Ive called the Law on over a dozen bloomingtnon people who chain an animal in the yard for all its life.If your dog is outside and its worn the grass away where its chained,I will call the city and county over and over again until I get action.I hope others will join me on this......I am watching everyday and LOVE to see people get arrested for mistreating animals.2 of them were even FIRED from their jobs when the word got out they hurt dogs.The dogs were seized and saved.I will save the animal.I will find you !!! I promise......... "

" trying to help these animals, but I do wish she had done something differently. I believe she meant to care for them. I, too, am a person who wants to take in every stray I see, but I know I can't do it. My main concern is for the animals. I do hope they all survive, can be brought back to good health and find homes where they will be properly cared for. "
