Investigators still searching former dog rescue site

[cassiesmom]

Hi Elyse, Any updates or new developments (like the "owners" fell into a huge sinkhole and can't get out)?

Here's the latest. I hope they throw the book at her (although it'll only be a small paperback) for the cruelty she inflicted on her child and on these animals. I also hope the Illinois Department of Agriculture (which licenses shelters) looks at the situation and makes changes -- see the Daily Herald editorial up above.

What makes me sad about this is that there are well-run shelters around here doing good work on behalf of homeless pets, and volunteer organizations that make pet therapy visits to hospitals and nursing homes, and organizations that will help ill or elderly people care for their pets (like AIDS patients who shouldn't clean cat litter pans so as not to get toxoplasmosis). And this story casts a bad light on all of them.

Thank you, Momcat for reminding me to look!
