To Whom it may concern:Residents of Tippecanoe County, Indiana are currently battling an illegal dog kennel with a long history of feces-laden kennels and poor living conditions. The owner claims to be raising the 40-60 Golden Retrievers and German Shepherd Dogs as service animals for disabled individuals. However, evidence supports the contrary. Although several dogs have died, the Tippecanoe County Humane Society is unwilling to enforce animal neglect laws. In addition, Tippecanoe County officials have allowed the illegal kennel to remain with no enforcement of Indiana State kennel license laws. **In the next 2 months the County will have a zoning meeting where 7 Zoning Board members will decide if the location of the illegal kennel is a problem for the community. If they vote in favor of the illegal kennel, it will be allowed to stay- as is (for at least 2 years).**
Concerned Tippecanoe County residents are attempting to block the continuation of this dog mistreatment. A web site has been prepared to provide detailed information on the illegal kennel and photographs. All information is on public record, and/or supported by written statements from witnesses. The web page also includes a guest book, which may be used as a petition at the Zoning Board meeting. Web page links to relevant officials, agencies have also been established to provide easy communication on the sad situation.
Please review the web page, Tippecanoe K9s and consider providing a link to your web site. The dogs need your support and your voice! Many voices are louder than one.
Thank you!

BURGLARS TORTURE AND KILL ANIMALS!!! Burglars entered the V.I.P. Pet Grooming Store in Glendale the other night. They didn't take anything, but they tortured two cats. They beat one of the animals with a broomstick, immersed it in a washtub of bleach, and strangled it with a leash. The second cat survived a broken tooth and having bleach poured into its eyes. A third cat is missing. Glendale Police are hoping the fingerprints they found will lead them to the suspects. They've already received a couple of good tips. The Arizona Humane Society is offering an $1100 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

The Fosters tell of the story of Buddy, a gorgeous horse whom they had rescued from a life of neglect and abuse. After much of the family's time, expense and love was devoted to the sole care of Buddy, both the New Hampshire Humane Society and the New Hampshire Equine Humane Association took Buddy from this caring family. The two organizations have repeatedly placed obstacles before them in preventing adoption. Though they have legally fought for him, they fear they will never see him again. On the site are the names and addresses to send letters of protest in regard of this situation.
The point of our site is to try to stop the neglect and abuse that Oscar went through. We may have been too ignorant to stop the torture he was going through but we have hopefully learned that we must act quickly when it comes to abused or neglected animals, in Oscar's case it was mysteriously too late.
Lets send a message loud and clear that the animal loving public will no longer stand by and let this cruelty continue.
Is there a pattern to animal abuse? Does it lead to bigger and better things? Are we to believe that "They'll grow out of it"? Do you really care? Do you dare to visit the following sites for answers to those questions?
