love-my-dog Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 This is not the first time he has come to the attention of authorities. It would seem the law has little effect or power to control his actions. Perhaps it is time the dog community banded together for a common cause. To protect our animals and the public from unscrupulous people. Every long jouney it starts with one step. Perhaps we could start with this one. Lets start by posting this warning on EVERY site we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
