ADLF vs. Woodley

On May 31st, 2005, the ADLF, Animal Defense Legal Fund, was able to put an end to animal hoarders Barbara and Robert Woodley's crimes of animal cruelty. The Woodleys' were convicted of mass animal cruelty, for hoarding, mistreating, and generally neglecting over 300 dogs. When a veterinarian was first called in to do a diagnosis of how bad things were, he said that there were, "...puddles of urine everywhere on the floor. Dogs were eating feces inside the home."

This is a shame. A shame to the Woodleys for not taking any care of their more than 300 animal dependants. No animal should have to be treated like this, or put down just because it was in so much pain. Because that is what happened to 60% of the rescued animals. They had to be euthanized, meaning put to death, because their condition was so horrible. If you want to be a part of the solution, go to "http://aldf.org/section.php?id=89", where you can sign petitions that deal with subjects that matter to you.

Evidence

• "I was stunned. There were puddles of urine everywhere on the floor. Dogs were eating feces inside the home."
• California is the state where the most animal hangings and animal drownings occured in 2009.
• In 2009, the most commonly abused animals were non-pitbull dogs.
• Second most commonly abused in 2009 were cats, then followed by horses.

Questions

• Do people enjoy beating/torturing their animals or pets?
• Or is it something that they were brought up to do? Something that is required?
