- I have read more and more about these incidents occuring. I know 2
- families whose dogs were taken right out of there fenced in yards by
- someone in a dark van. I know that people who let their animals roam,
- especially cats, feel stongly that their animals deserve freedom, but is
- letting them have this freedom worth the possibility that they could be
- picked up for medical experiments or worse? I'm not even sure I would let
- a dog out in a fenced in yard unsupervised anymore. There are people
- desperate for money out there, and they do get paid for bringing in live
- animals. These people do horrible things to the animals before they even
- get to the labs. An example is that these brutes cut dog's vocal cords so
- no one can hear them barking. I was in a humane society one day checking
- out the cats, and of course I had to go see the dogs. There were 2 dogs
- that had been found in a chicken coop with 67 other dogs whose cords had
- been cut. They mad the most pitiful sound trying to bark and growl at me
- that I have ever heard. I ran out of there in tears. Please please please
- keep dogs supervised while they are out and keep your cats indoors. These
- are the only 100% sure ways to keep them alive, safe, and healthy.
