They let it happen again! *3 more pics added*

At least if Animal Control is called they will put it on file for future reference (Whatever situation that may be).

To show you just how little this woman cares, I'm going to share a detail that I left out on purpose...



They didn't even give the other puppies a proper burial. They threw them away outside in the trash can.

I mean I know they were already deceased, but I would have at least buried them instead of throwing them away with the garbage.



*********
This is what I said on the other forum:

I'm sorry some of you think I should just have stood by and let this puppy be thrown outside in 20 something degree weather to starve to death or freeze to death. But I just wasn't going to do that.

I don't even live in Texas where they all live, so I don't rush to their aide every freaking time they do something stupid.

Maybe my heart is too big, but I'm NOT going to let a poor defenseless newborn puppy suffer because of someone else's stupidity.

I've tried telling them until I am blue in the face that they need to get her spayed, she doesn't have healthy milk to nurse the puppies, and half the time most of them are stillborn. If they choose to let their poor dog outside when she's in heat, there's not one damn thing I can do about it. She's not my dog, she doesn't live with me and I don't live with them. I don't even LIVE in the state they live in anymore. I am just down here visiting my parents and got word of this and wasn't going to stand by and do nothing.

If it had been left with my friends mother, the puppy would have been thrown outside like the deceased puppies whether it was alive or not by itself.

Call the HS or animal control. Tell them you have the puppy, but the mother has not received veternary care, and the pups were tossed as you said and for them to go check it out. Even tell them you can show them the puppy you saved.. Maybe they can seize her.

[JenBKR]

Don't let them get you down sweetie, you did the right thing for that puppy!

[borzoimom]

Oh honey- you did the right thing about the puppy. Now we are just trying to help the mother.. Thats all. I applaud your committment as one who also has bottle fed a puppy.

[applesmom]

No one is trying to get anyone down. At least I hope not! There probably isn't anyone that's been involved with dogs for any length of time that hasn't found themselves in a similar situation.

The pet overpopulation disaster is overwhelmingly out of control. The only way to find a solution is through discussion and sharing of thoughts and ideas. Even those that post opposing thoughts have the same goal. The overall welfare of the animals!!!!

As far as disposing of stillborn puppies in the trash; once again that's a matter of individual preference and wouldn't be an issue for many people. Disposing of live newborns in that manner isn't a rational choice for anyone!

Unfortunately animal control isn't always the greatest, and isn't always an option. The cases you see on T.V. are the worst cases they get...they don't always step in, especially if you are being honest with them. Sometimes you almost have to exaggerate the issues with the animal.

I called our local livestock animal control because of some pretty bad conditions at a horse boarding facility. They did come out, but they did not seize any animals, and the horses that were skinny have gained weight and a horse that had a leg swollen about 3x it's size is no longer there, and the stalls are mucked out. It did get better, but not totally. They didn't seize any animals.

I called AC about a nursing mother dog with what appeared to mastitis. They wouldn't come out, saying she was probably just nursing. They lived right down the road, and had the puppies for free. I went to go check them out before I got Romeo, and they were looking for the "brown ones" and figured they must of run away. So AC just wouldn't do anything.

They probably will NOT seize that dog...it's well fed and has no apparant injuries. If they found her with the puppy with its neck ripped open and no medical attention, they might have.

I think that's really, truly awesome of Cori. I hope the little pup is ok! The staples and everything are so sad, but it's good to hear about the progress with bottle-feeding.

I find it incredibly over-kill to attack her for this. She isn't paying these people for the puppies. She isn't buying a puppy from a pet store. These people obviously over-bred their poor dog before Cori was there to help, and they would still do it if Cori stopped helping, because it sounds like they simply do not care. It's up to the daughter to step in & do what's right, Cori can't just steal it.

As far as I'm concerned, she is doing the equivalent of what a rescue would do for a puppy that was dumped at their drop box. Are rescues/shelters in the wrong because they will take on abandoned animals? Are they "enabeling" BYB-ers because the BYB-ers know that they can always dump unwanted puppies at a rescue? No. They're saving a life.

Well that kinda depends on the local laws where they live. In some places it's very illegal to dispose of dead animals in the trash, while in other places it's illegal to bury them in your back yard.

[applesmom]

That's true. We couldn't bury our dogs bodies in our back yard; but it was okay to bury their ashes there.

I just looked up our local laws regarding pet disposal and it's also illegal to dispose of dead animals in the garbage. They're supposed to be picked up by a commercial animal disposal company at the owners expense. I don't know if the law is enforced or not.
