I think that if the animals were in good health and that it
is a business that we should mind our own business and
leave them alone, they looked wonderful on the television ,
i think we are just borrowing trouble bothering innocent
people that are trying to run a legitamite business.
I agree with one reader, There are a lot of other problems, drugs,
prostitution, killings to worry about than to bother a person trying
to run a business that is not bothering anyone. I love animals but
this is so rediculous.
Thats 200,000dollars that could have fed some people anfd clothed
them, we are getting so mixed up in whats important, I am a christian
and i would never hurt an animal but i dont think that is the case at
all,
i think someone needs to mind their OWN business and leave innocent
people alone for ever more.

sounds to me like these people are trying to make extra money
off someone elses expense! looks to me like this woman has
been doing this since 1960's. and these people picked a fight
with her husband and he ended up in jail! leave it to wv!
they didnt look neglected to me! what about all the dogs and
horses on deer pen, big seven mile, i could go on, that are
walking skeletons? its all about money!

This lady paid for all the food, help, medical care, and anything
else these dogs recieved. The Shelter has everything donated to
them from large pet food comapnies, major chain stores, as well
as medical care donated by vets and groomers even donating the
grooming for these dogs. Volunteers do 90% of the work.
Expensive TV commercials raise millions of dollars. County and
state goverments provide the premises for the shelters to conduct
thier business. Dog taxes are charged in WV to everyone that owns
a dog. That money goes to help run the shelter and then the shelter
still cahrges rediculious fees to adopt these dogs. WHOSE REALLY
MAKING THE MONEY???

This is sad, the Humane Society will never adopt all of these dogs
and the majority of them will be put to sleep. These dogs were cared
for by more than just her. I know from experience.
Each of the dogs were called by their name as well as handled and
loved. Sharon knows more about dogs than most Vets. She made
sure they each were up to date on everything. If they needed to go
to the Vet she took them no matter what time of day or night and
at any expense.
As far as the waste problem, she installed septic systems to handle
the waste again going to any extreme to care for her dogs. Thses
dogs were her life, waking up at daylight and working and caring
for them until 10 or 11 at night every day 7 days a week 365 days
a year! How many of you would do that??

If there were no signs of neglect then this is wrong unless there is
just a yard full of doggie doo. And how do they know they were
NEVER touched?

ok, so the dogs had not been abused, the people are not being
cited for neglect...so whats the problem. i dont see anything
wrong with having as many animals as you want, as long as
they aren't neglected or abused. quit worrying about the animals,
and worry about REAL problems in this world today, like poverty,
drugs and violence among people.

ORIGINAL STORY: Sunday
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - A Parkersburg-area breeder has surrendered
approximately 1,000 dogs to humane society officials.
While there were no signs that the purebred dachshunds had been abused,
officials say it would be impossible for any human being to properly care
for that many animals.
Sheriff's deputies investigating possible dog-related pollution found
the dogs Saturday while executing a search warrant on the property.
Wood County Prosecutor Ginny Conley says the owner hasn't been cited
for animal neglect but has agreed to never operate a dog-breeding
business again.
The pollution investigation is ongoing.
Meanwhile, the humane society says the rescue
operation could cost up to $100,000.
While there were no signs that the purebred dachshunds had
been abused, officials say it would be impossible for any human
being to properly care for that many animals.
Carrie Roe, the board president for the Human Society of Parkersburg,
says many of the dogs had never been touched by a human.

Thanks JH for posting this additional information. But your crossposting
and boring abuse have been snipped...
It does seem like there may be more to the story than it appeared to be at
first. This is very often the case when the media want to sensationalize
something to boost readership and viewing numbers and thus enhance revenue
from ads and commercials.
I might agree that this woman should not breed any more dogs, since she has
chosen to take on so many rescue animals, but then again maybe she can make
enough money from breeding to provide for the care of the other dogs. If
the dogs were not found to be inhumanely treated, totally neglected, or
abused, it would make more sense to allow her to continue to care for the
dogs while the Humane Society used its resources to direct possible
adopters to her facility. Perhaps also the local officials could allow high
school students, unemployed people, or people on welfare to assist with the
care of these animals.
It will be interesting to see the outcome of this story, but now that the
"sensational" part has passed, it will no longer be very "newsworthy" even
if a very effective arrangement is worked out.
