I just want to go on record by saying that I am GLAD she removed a dog from this abusive situation. I might have done the same thing. And, btw, stealing is a legal term of art. If she didn't have the requsite mental intent to deprive the rightful owner of the dog, she didn't 'steal'. AND, there are 'emergency' type regulations, ordinances, laws, that provide for rescue type situations, something she prolly could take advantage of at the time of trial. Last, IF what she is saying is accurate, there shouldn't be a single problem with standing before a Judge on these charges.

I tend to agree that this is the sort of thing that can make people stand up and notice. I wondered why she didn't call a local news team to come out and videotape the situation? That would have gotten the law enforcement people up and moving.

In any event, if she ceased the suffering of one more animal, I stand behind her. But, when you take the law into your own hands, you gotta be ready for the "riot".
