Intro: "Labs & Lies

On January 11th, a severely emaciated male yellow labrador (Thor) was picked up by Crawford County animal control. The dog was immediately taken to Grayling Hospital for Animals, where the Animal Shelter of Crawford County Director made the decision to try to save the dog's life.

On January 23rd, 2007, acting on a tip from the author of this site, Roscommon County animal control removed six labrador retrievers in various stages of starvation and neglect from a pole barn/residence (a licensed kennel) in Roscommon County, Michigan.

Although the conditions of these animals were deplorable, Roscommon County has not brought charges against the man responsible for these six labradors. In fact, on March 9th, 2007, almost two months AFTER the removal of the dogs, the individual responsible was re-issued a kennel license, and at this writing, has EIGHT dogs under his 'care'.

Meanwhile, the six labradors removed from this 'kennel' (along with the one 'discovered' in Crawford County) have struggled to survive, and, as of this writing, several have not found permanent homes.

The seven labradors cannot speak. They cannot tell their own story.

This website is their voice."

The only news article that i could find...
http://www.9and10news.com/category/story/?id=113190

I wanted to report this to the Pet-Abuse database but i couldn't find enough of the information that they require.

Any idea what officials I'd write to about my outrage that this "kennel" was relicensed? Any suggestions on what i could say while still being tactful yet effective?

Edit: Sorry, i was really tired when i posted this. Relevant info to my question on the last page. Advice still appreciate though on being tactful yet effective.

That site was sad but I'm so glad the labs are looking better, and some are happy in their new homes. Poor babies. I'll be writing those people as well. I wrote to the owner of the site too. Bastards who did that should die. You don't even WANT to know what I'd do to him... I'll give you a hint though... it involves a dull knife and his balls!
