Once again Florida has become the state everyone can point to and say “great place to visit but you don’t want to live there”. Judge Bergosh you were elected to make decisions that would benefit society, you have failed miserably I pray your constituents remember come election day.
As for John & Amanda, there’s a special place in Hell for people like you. You shall reap what you sow ten times over.

How anyone can say “God Bless” and admit that they did this to these animals I will never know…the CHRISTIAN thing to do? Take these dogs to animal control or have them come pick them up before they starve or kill someone else’s pet. Why anyone would use abortion or child abuse as justification not to care about animal abuse is also mystifying…Because there is cancer, we shouldn’t care about pneumonia? Because there is murder, we shouldn’t care about theft? Get a grip. Animal abuse is wrong and if you justify it you are NOT reading the WHOLE Bible. “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.”

You people have your priorties out of order. Molinomomma you said humans can defend themselves. What about infants, handicapped, elderly? There only defense is a responsible human to take care of them. Dont get me wrong, neglecting an animal is wrong. The parties responsible should be held accountable. This country aborts thousands of babies everyday but we worry about two people who dont feed a couple of dogs. What do you feed your kids? How much TV do you let them watch? What kind of video games do they play? Should you be arrested? Should you be put on probation for giving your kids too much soda? Dont burn this woman at the stake. I bet you treat your own children way worse than these dogs were treated.

And they only got probation???? How about chaining them up outside and letting them live in their own filth and starve! I am absolutely disgusted at our court system!

Mrs Oswald I’m sorry for all the bad things being said about you. I know that sometimes things just seem to get out of hand. I commend you for stating what went wrong with your husband and for standing by him regardless. A lot of people would have just given up and walked away.I had a similar incedent happen to me with the animal control. Someone let a dog off at my house that was in very bad shape. When I called to have this dog picked up I was informed that I would be charged as the owner of this animal;even tho I told them I had seen the car that dropped him off. They said that didnt matter for the dog was at my house. Go figure! I pray things get better for you soon.

Somebody needs to go check on the judges dogs to see what condition they are in, since he doesn’t think this is bad enough for a more punishing verdict!

Help the animals!

CONTEMPLATING:
“To Mr. Green, I would gladly mete out the punishment to animal abusers, just as I would to a child abuser, murderer, pedophile, or rapist. A bullet to the head would be my solution for many crimes.“

If that’s the way the Lord leads you, who am I to get in the way of your gun? You would make orphans of her children but the greater good would be accomplished. You are certain that being forbidden to keep animals, being on probation and having to work in an animal shelter where she might learn to care for animals would not be enough. Tomas Torquemada got nothing on you.

AND
“@ David Huie Green ~ There is clear evidence about the link between animal cruelty and violence against humans. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence conducted its own study in which 85.4 percent of women and 63.0 percent of children reported incidents of pet abuse after arriving at domestic violence shelters.”

You are correct that people who commit acts of violence against people often abused animals, but they specified that they were not talking about not taking care of the animals as they should, but rather the abusers intentionally tortured or killed the pets to punish or control the people who loved them. There IS a difference even if some don’t see it. The expressed desire to torture and kill people who didn’t do right, suggests kindred spirits with the domestic abusers rather than the abused humans.

David for less torture,
even in a “good cause”

I never cease to be amazed at the low class, ignorant mentality of people. I always wonder how people form such opinions. I can only assume it was the way they were raised because I would hate to assume that is just how they really are. That would be too hard to stomach. The bottom line is that these dogs were clearly neglected. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THEIR TERRIBLE TREATMENT, period. Not drugs, not excuses of taking care of my husband or children. To Mr. Green, I would gladly mete out the punishment to animal abusers, just as I would to a child abuser, murderer, pedophile, or rapist. A bullet to the head would be my solution for many crimes. It clearly would save our tax dollars, as well as prison overcrowding. Doesn’t it sound ridiculous that I would say such a thing? This is the same feeling I have when reading the ignorant, outlandish “opinions” on this forum, especially those of the person who committed the crime giving excuses for the suffering of animals. REALLY! This article is about the neglect and abuse of animals not children, so who cares about comments that have nothing to do with the article. Thankfully, the majority of comments on here feel the right way. So, I guess there is hope for humanity.

@amanda – kids or not, those dogs are still a responsibility. YOU lived at the house, YOU were just as responsible for those dogs as well. The inside dogs were apparently taken decent care of. How hard would it have been for you to toodle on out back (because you KNEW the dogs were out there) and give them a little food or water? Not that hard. You just didn’t want to and now that you are caught, you want to talk yourself out of your problem. Woman up and get over it.
