WILKESBORO
A Superior Court judge this morning ordered that 127 pit bulls
seized in a raid of a breeder of fighting dogs should be
euthanized.
Judge Ed Wilson entered the order after hearing
arguments from Wilkes County officials, from the prosecutor
and from The Humane Society of the U.S.
that the dogs are
dangerous and would pose a risk if adopted into homes.
A
number of animal lovers and animal advocacy groups have
offered to adopt the dogs. The dogs were seized Dec.
10, 2008,
during a raid on Wildside Kennels in Wilkes County.
When
Wildside Kennels owner Ed Faron failed to pay the county for
the dogs' care after they were seized, a judge awarded ownership
of the dogs to the county.
Faron, 61, pleaded guilty last week of 14
counts of felony dog fighting and was sentenced to 8 to 10 months
in prison.
His adopted son, Donni Juan Casanova, 18, pleaded
guilty to one count of felony dog fighting and was given a suspended
sentence of 6 to 8 months.
Amanda Grace Lunsford, 25, the third
and final defendant in the case, pleaded guilty this morning to a
misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals.
She is Casanova's
fiancé and had been living at the house less than a month at the
time of the raid, her attorney said, and her role was simply to feed
and water the dogs.
Lunsford was sentenced to 45 days, which was
suspended for 24 months of supervised probation.
-----------------------------------------------
My point of view: A family of TRASH!!! They have lost their business.
They have lost their dogs..members of what should have been their
family. For what? The humans get sentenced to 8 to 10 months... a
suspended sentence of 6 to 8 months...and 45 days!!!!!!! For their
ignorance 127 pit bulls have lost their lives.
And as for The Humane
Society of the U.S.
saying that the dogs are dangerous and would
pose a risk if adopted into homes.
SHAME!!!! SHAME!!!! SHAME!!!!
ON YOU!!!! Brandon Bond and his group prove every day YOU LIE!!!!!
The Dog Whisperer proves every day YOU LIE!!!! "Every day people" prove
every day YOU LIE!!!! People wanted these dogs.
YOU LIED IN ORDER
TO KILL THEM!!!! You need to change the name of your organization to
PROUDLY WE STAND TO DESTROY PIT BULLS INC...That's all I have
to say.
