2. Fwd: Southern Illinois OVER 100 GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS TIED / FENC... Posted by: "Joann Furse" gsdjoann@xxxxxxxxx gsdjoann Date: Fri Nov 17, 2006 9:43 am ((PST)) *** PERMISSION GIVEN TO CROSSPOST... RESPOND TO: denlin@xxxxxxxxx Begin forwarded message: Tonight I received a phone call from a lady asking me to check into a house that has over 75 to 100 German Shepherd Dogs all over the yard. This house is only about 10 min. from my home and yet I never saw this going on. Tonight I drove with 2 friends to the home where we saw a " PUPPIES FOR SALE" sign. Acting like we were looking for a pup the lady that came out of the home told me it was her brother's place and he was not home. Some of the dogs are being tied to trees just feet from the road. I saw several dogs eating rotten pumpkins that were given to them according to the lady. I saw one GSD eating the raw leg of something, perhaps deer. The white GSD that was the closest to the road and drive way looked like she had several litters of pups and was dirty from walking the length of her chain, 6 or 7 feet. Her home was situated in the mud which was a wire cage with a wet throw rug over it. The home had no sides to the walls. Dogs were tied to trees, telephone poles, stakes, barn doors, fence posts and dog houses. Every where you looked all you could see is beautiful sad faces as if crying out please don't leave us now that you found us. I was told that just as many dogs were on the other side of the fence that you couldn't see. One black GSD had a pad lock around his chain that was locked holding his make-shift collar together.
