Here in Kentucky and interesting case has shown up. A couple in Frankfort, KY was arrested for animal cruelty after police found a large number of animals on their property living in filth and without food or water. The article on WLEX-TV web site states:
http://www.lex18.com/news/couple-faces-nearly-two-dozen-animal-cruelty-charges/
Deputies arrested Sandra E. Coy, 55, and William Scott Coy, 48, on Friday, and charged them both with 23 counts of animal cruelty after raiding their St. Johns Road home. Deputies say they found nearly two-dozen dogs and birds living in filthy conditions, and a dead pit bull still chained to its leash. Deputies say they also found llamas, goats and pigs, all in bad condition.
Kentucky back in 2008 the same couple was found with 37 Pit Bulls living in horrid conditions in Larue County, many of the animal victims in the current situation are Pit Bulls as well, leading me to wonder why people like this are permitted to continue to own animals, and also why a deputy involved in the current, arrest would state:
There was no food, no water, and very dire conditions for the animals that were there." he said. "People sometimes have good intentions and then all of a sudden they get overwhelmed, and I think this is one of those cases or scenarios.
Good intentions? Well, the woman involved in this case certainly has not shown a track record of good intentions in general. Sandra Coy was the same woman who brought a WHITE SUPREMICIST rally to Frankfort, KY in April of this year. Bob's Feed Store was her employer, who she put as "headquarters" for the rally and that got her fired, and justifiably in my opinion. Her boss didnt know he was the headquarters for hate, and it hurt his business.

These people are simply disgusting, animal cruelty, white supremacist activities, and with that many Pit Bulls being abused over and over I wish there would be some real investigation into dog fighting. I wonder if there isnt a lot of criminal activity associated with the white supremacist movement in general. It seems something worth notice by law enforcement. At the very least not allow a repeat performance of abuse just because the criminals move to a different county. I think this case shows exactly the sort of people racists are, people that have no empathy for anyone or any living thing.

It doesn't sound as though these animals were receiving very much care at all.
