Update on Tammy Grimes — Dog rescuer sentenced to community service and more

I posted last week regarding animal rights activist Tammy Grimes, who was facing sentencing for her role in saving "Doggie," (formerly "Jake") a 19-year-old German Shepherd chained in a yard in Pennsylvania.

I'm posting this to let you read for yourself what her sentencing was. She was given 300 hours of community service, with stipulation that it be done with a "people" organization, not a pet or animal group. She was also ordered to remove all pictures of and references to "Doggie" from her website.

Also, I hope you'll take time to read the update from another source, as well as opinions, found on our friend Chris' HoundsGood blog.

Thought you all would want an update on that whole mess. I only hope reason and compassion will prevail in the end and that Pennsylvania legislators will do the right thing regarding legislation to prevent chaining and mistreatment of pets!
