Forwarded: Permission to Crosspost
Here are some stories from this morning: http://www.canada.com/search/story.aspx?id=0eb91652-4fd8-450c-a16c-0c638 bfc3730 http://www.adn.com/alaska/story/2541582p-2593549c.html http://www.greatfallstribune.com/news/stories/20030130/topstories/881214 .html The thought that this may not be pursued and this woman may get her dogs back just staggers me. Please write to the county prosecutors and encourage them to ask for another trial. One of these dogs died from an e coli infection after inhaling its own urine and feces. And the owner plans to move on to Arizona and continue breeding and showing. Following is a suggestion from another list that I hope we'll all act on. PERMISSION TO CROSS POST ****************************************************************** The trial ended today with a hung jury (see below). There is a chance that the County Attorney and the State will choose not to pursue this further. If everyone, everywhere could take the time to send an email, a fax, or make a phone call to urge Mr. Raph and Mr. Coble to not give up it could be helpful.
