Watch the video.  I'd do that but support them with money?  NO WAY!!!!!  I 
personally watched representatives from this group PERSECUTE an abandoned 
[WORKING] mother of 5 who had two dogs.  She kept them seperated by chaining 
AFTER they got into a horendous fight.  Both dogs were vaccinated, wormed, in 
good condition and allowed to play with the kids at any time all day - one at a 
time while the other was put away.  These folks had people sitting in her 
neighborhoods with cameras at all hours of the day and night.  One tried to get 
into the yard to steal the dogs when they thought everyone was gone.  One of 
the kids home from school sick called the cops.  Multiple people constantly 
called AC to file cruelty complaints against her, which were unfounded based on 
the condition of the dogs.  To end thie barrage of complaints an individual was 
asked to help purchase fence.  When ANIMAL CONTROL personnel, including our 
director, went to her house to install the fence so these peopl
 e woul
d leave her alone, THEY took credit.  
They lied to the county Commissioners, volunteering IN FRONT OF CAMERAS, to 
provide fencing for any person in the county who couldn't afford a fence so 
that the ordinance would pass.  Once it did..... they disappeared.

Before everyone explodes I don't approve of dogs living on chains.  However, 
there are times when, for reasons beyond our control, things happen.  Some 
would argue they are better off dead.  Explain that to five kids who have lost 
their father, mom's at work at all hours to keep them together and off the 
roles, AND caring for the dogs as best she can.  Look into THEIR eyes and tell 
them their dogs are better off dead.................
