This lady is 73 years old and had 70 dogs!! That's just stupidity. They were, of course, all covered with mud, urine and feces after having lived 9 inches deep in the stuff! Most were sick with various conditions (blood in urine, heartworm, skin infections, broken teeth). At 73 there is no way she could take care of 70 Australian Shepherds. I don't care how fit this lady is, that is still WAY TOO MANY for a 73 year old woman to take care of properly. (Let alone ANY person - man/woman/child).
She says that the reason the dogs were muddy was because it rained ... uh ... ok lady. Why didn't you take them inside?? Why don't you have an area where they can get out of the weather?? Believe it or not, providing shelter from the elements is something that is considered "basic care" and is required of most animal cruelty laws.

The jury should decide today the verdict so I will see if I can update you all when the story goes to the papers.

ARGH!!!
On a side note, the thee strikes ranch debacle is in court this week... let's say a combined prayer that they all discover (physical) justice!
The award is great though, are you accepting nominations?
That is horrible. I hope justice is done. I look forward to the update. Have a wonderful weekend.
Big bucks in Aussie Shepherds.

Insanity, 70 dogs.
