PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHARE!!!! This woman has been running an illegal puppy mill in a residential neighbourhood near where I live. They are going to court TOMORROW (Thursday) to decide whether or not she should be granted a license, which would result in her being able to continue what she’s doing with minimal inspection. You can read the report from the humane officer and get more information here: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/pet/3594198477.html

To break it down:

-she starved at least 2 litters of puppies

-dogs are kept in almost total darkness

-most of the dogs are in crates, with minimal breaks

-conditions are disgusting

-many of these dogs are visibly ill with mange, conjunctivitis, or upper respiratory infections which are NOT BEING TREATED

-dogs do not have regular access to water

This is deplorable and disgusting. Please email don.delrosso@fauquiercounty.gov. BE RESPECTFUL. They are REQUIRED to consider EVERY petition they receive. If you bash the officials, they will be much more likely to discredit your response.

Edit: THE HEARING WAS TODAY AND THEY POSTPONED THEIR DECISION UNTIL MARCH 7TH. YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT IT (including the original report, since the CL ad is now gone) HERE: http://www.fauquiernow.com/index.php/fauquier_news/article/fauquier-zoning-board-delays-vote-on-controversial-kennel-2013

The bottom line? These dogs will suffer another MONTH unless we can get the ball rolling NOW to get them removed. Please also continue contacting them telling them NOT to grant Miss Barrett a kennel license. I know a lot of people on Tumblr dislike phones. You don’t have to call. All you have to do is EMAIL. THEY WILL BE READ!

Please email Commonwealth Attorney Jim Fisher at james.fisher@fauquiercounty.gov. and ask him to charge Irina Barrett with operating an illegal business for 4 years AND for cruelty to animals.

Email Don Del Rosso at don.delrosso@fauquiercounty.gov (he’s with Zoning) and tell him to deny her a permit based on the fact that she has been operating an illegal business for 4 years and is ALLEGEDLY guilty of cruelty and/or neglect of dogs.

Please read and do what you can to help these poor dogs. Even if you don’t live in the area, your voice still matters.

Okay, reblogging AGAIN because apparently some people aren’t understanding how fucking important this is. There are so many pointless “if you don’t reblog this, you’re heartless” posts. This has a SOLUTION, so fucking REBLOG. DOGS ARE DEAD. MORE WILL BE DEAD IN A MONTH UNLESS WE STOP IT. SO click the goddamn button. It’s not hard.
