The Answer I received from Polk County Rescue
The case will go before the court, a judge or a jury depending on what the
defendant's lawyer requests. We will have to follow the will of the court.
The case is not as cut and dry and what the paper states. The owner is a
grown son with children living in a different household. He was not present
while the incident occurred. The father was babysitting the dog while the
son moved into a new home. The father was transporting the dog from his
house to the son's new house while the incident ocurred. The defendants
also have their alibi which may be credible to a jury. The case is being
prepared by the sheriff's department, and the state attorney's office will
prosecute.

Subject: Casey
To The Board Of Polk County Rescue,
This letter is in regards to Casey, the German Shepard who
was so abused, that it made me ill, to think that a human would
do such a thing to an animal. I work at a rescue , and
I have seen and heard of animal abuse, but this is horrible.
This dog should not be released to his owner. If his owner left
his friends, relatives or who ever, do this to his pet he is just
as guilty. DO NOT GIVE CASEY BACK to these deranged people.
ANIMAL ABUSE-
The ultimate act of cowardice and mental derangement !
