Update from Rhonda Estes, With The Madison County Humane Society,
Regarding The Findings In Ingalls, Indiana.
Update 02/11/2010: I spoke with the investigating officer at the
sheriff's office. He said no laws other than 'littering' have been broken. The
animals were not tortured as originally thought. They were killed then skinned
for their pelts. He also said IF these animals had been domestic dogs no laws
had been broken either unless they had been beaten or tortured. He said you can
kill dogs but you can not beat or torture them. Can you believe it? Morally, it
is just down right wrong and the officer agreed but sadly our state laws dictate
and until those are changed..........
The Humane Society has withdrawn the reward money and will be returning donated
reward money to those that were also outraged and wanted to help.

Original News Release
Update From The M.C.H.S. On Brutal Mutilation Deaths Of Dogs
Anderson, Indiana 02/05/2010 - A $1,000.00 reward is being offered by the
Madison County Humane Society for information leading to the arrest of the
person or persons responsible for the senseless and brutal mutilation deaths of
several dogs left in a creek near Ingalls, Indiana.
On Feb. 4, 2010, a passerby discovered the bodies of at least 10 dogs and the
numbers are rising. These dogs were tortured, dismembered and suffered a
brutally horrifying death. As the investigation is on-going more details will
posted as they become available. The Madison County Humane Society is partnering
with Anderson Animal Care and Control, the HSUS and hopefully others to try to
increase the reward amount to bring whoever did this to justice.
