THERE ARE ABOUT 11-12 DOGS THAT HAVE BEEN CONFINED TO A MAN-MADE WOODEN BOX FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS.  YES, A BOX.  THEY HAVE BEEN EATEN ALIVE BY FLEAS, LIVING IN EXTREME FILTH AND TERRIBLY NEGLECTED.  THE CONDITIONS ARE DEPLORABLE.  ONE OR MORE HAVE DIED.  PEOPLE HAVE TRIED TO STEP IN BUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO LAW AGAINST WHAT THIS MAN IS DOING TO HIS DOGS, EVERYONE SAYS "THEIR HANDS ARE TIED."  THIS IS NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER.  THESE DOGS HAVE BEEN SUFFERING TREMENDOUSLY....BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.  THEY ARE BASICALLY BEING HELD CAPTIVE. THIS IS NOT THE LIFE OF A DOG. WHY IS THIS ALLOWED?  WHY IS THIS MAN ALLOWED TO ISOLATE HIS DOGS AND COMPLETELY NEGLECT THEM??? AND BY LAW THIS IS OK BECAUSE THERE IS NO LAW STATING IT'S NOT!!!???  THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE PROSECUTED, BUT THIS CAN'T HAPPEN UNTIL A LAW IS IN PLACE.  WE DEMAND THERE BE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR THIS KIND OF TREATMENT. WE DEMAND A LAW PUT IN PLACE NOW FOR THIS TYPE OF ABUSE.

(Passing such a law is important on so many levels.  There are countless animals being terribly abused, neglected, tortured and murdered on a daily basis.  With no law in place serving to protect these animals, the offenders will not be detered, and the abuse will continue, with no consequences.  THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.  EVERY MINUTE AN ANIMAL IS BEING ABUSED OR KILLED)
