I am horrified at this story …

I am so very thankful to the people who run SAINTS and make all the difference for these blessed animals.

Lynne you are one of the most dedicated animal care givers and interested people in animal welfare and I am glad you come to Saints and help so many animals.
Thank God for Carol and all the other people that take care of so many and so well. Seeing that beautiful Star in that condition makes me cry. Thank God she is at home now Carol. Eva

it is amazing the things that go on that people do not know about or just do not care about or understand. to ignore it or pretend it does not exist does not make it go away. the abuse of innocent animals is untolerable. i have met star and she is a beautiful little girl who got a really crappy life for no reason except being with people who could not have cared less about her and were greedy people who only cared about the money they made off her. more people need to see these pics to understand what really goes on. it sucks that most people are so involved in their own lives that they cannot or do not want to see what is going on. as a letter carrier i get told by my coworkers that it is none of my business to worry about the dogs on my walk but i tell them that if i do not care who will. i get laughed at and made fun of but i really do not give a dam as i have rescued a lot of dogs. i can not sit by and watch aminals being abused. i really think people are in their own worlds and qulite often if it does not affect them then it does not matter. anyways i just try to do what i can.

I am so glad Star is at SAINTS. It is so hard to know how some of these animals have suffered before coming to SAINTS.

Nicole or Carol,

If you ever want more pictures of horrifying mammary tumours for your archives, let me know. I found a lovely terrier X dachshund last year that we did surgery on…and when I found her running loose, she was wearing a baby sleeper to hide her tumour that was dragging on the ground. She lived out her life at my friend’s house. RIP sweet Ginger….and welcome to Star.

The converted are more likely to be brave enough to say something to people who trade in canine (and all species) misery if they are spurred on by in-your-face reality. Breeders need to be confronted, they need to be held accountable, they need to be humiliated for their use and abuse of animals for profit.

For every dog like Star, lucky enough to land at SAINTS, there are hundreds, thousands, millions who suffer daily.

People need to see this, and not some x-rated version, either, it’s ugly, this is reality. Good on you, Nicole.
