It is a shame when people are trash and treat animals as if they are trash too!!!
I have a very sad story for the forum as well, I had my Chihuahua puppy posted here for the past year. She was such an angel, her only fault was housebreaking, other than that she was perfect. Never a bad day with her, she was forever entertaining, loving and a fierce protector of her home but always a sweetheart to all. You can see her website below, I created it in her honor. She died a violent death, and the owner of the attack dog has yet to take any responsibility for his son's actions or even say that they were sorry for what happened. The site is graphic, I have posted everything that I have since the county animal control, health department and police have offered zero help. They said that my dog is just property, which entitles me to nothing. I have been grieving for her since August 07, the day that she was attacked and killed, the neighbors all fled in their SUV, leaving me their to care for my dog while they went and hid from the police.
Now the county is offering to help them financially so that they meet the requirements imposed because of the attack on my dog, yet I am not entitled to anymore than the hospital bills. I have not been able to find a single attorney that will take the case, if I had been mauled then all of them would be fighting for it but in Maryland only a person is able to collect if they are very badly hurt. If an animal is hurt or killed, that is just considered an acceptable loss. I am trying to change that, this is a stupid law that the state has been following for almost 100 years and must be changed to ensure that these smaller pets are protected and not just swept under the rug.
If you can visit my site, and let the owners know how disgusting their behavior is that would be great. I do have these people's personal information posted, they have treated me like dirt, therefore I am returning the favor!!!
