From the Daily Inter Lake: These huskies (41 of them) will need homes. What was 25 huskies found in a filthy trailer last week has become 41, with two females having litters, and the Flathead County Animal Shelter and [...] Recently, the bodies of several sled dogs were found frozen to the ground in Tuktoyaktuk, Canada.

Krabloonik Kennels is a [...] Still no result in an April 2008 cruelty case. According to Lake County Sheriff Ed Holte, Ron Wyatt of Leadville, Colo. was charged with 16 counts of animal cruelty after his dogs were discovered without adequate food, water or shelter in a gulch north of St. Kevin’s Gulch by Leadville resident Jeff Pallo. According to a report [...] Though this punishment is far from just, it is better than nothing! I was beginning to think that this case had fallen off the face of the earth since my last posting.

Not to mention, these innocent creatures now belong to the abuser’s father (Stephen Hessert). How do we know that these dogs aren’t going to [...] The largest breeder of greyhounds in Britain is offering to sell healthy young dogs to be killed and dissected for research, an investigation has found.
