After writing my blog yesterday about the 100+ dogs rescued
last week from Wilson County, sure enough…. here we go again. Yesterday, 70 animals were rescued from
White County, Tennessee, which is about 75 miles SE of Nashville.
This time, it wasn’t only dogs, but a donkey, cats, chickens
and rabbits. And this was supposed to be an animal rescue facility. None of the
animals had access to food or water.
According to ARC, the conditions were deplorable. Most of the animals were underweight and
suffered from parasites and untreated wounds. Some of them were even chained in
the woods.
Once again, Animal Rescue Corps saved the day by loading
them all up and taking them to the fairgrounds in Nashville. On top of the 100
dogs rescued last week, this has now become a $60,000 operation from start to
finish. It’s so expensive to take care
of all of these critters and make sure they are rehabilitated and adopted out
to new homes.
What the heck is wrong in Tennessee? This is the 5th
time in the last 18 months that ARC and our local rescue groups have joined to
swoop in and rescue critters from a major hoarding, puppy mill or abuse
situation. I think there should be
stiffer cruelty laws. If anyone wants
to donate, here’s the link to ARC. I don’t know if the site is updated (they
have been busy) but it would sure help them out. And they do travel wherever there is need. In the last year, they have been to Canada,
Kentucky, Arizona and many other states performing similar operations.
