This situation brought tears to my eyes when I read of it when it happened. I will never comprehend how anyone can allow this sort of thing to ever happen.
ARC- Animal Rescue Corps assisted the Graves County Sheriff’s Office today in the rescue of around 100 dogs found living in disgusting and inhumane conditions at Paws and Claws Rescue in Wingo, Kentucky.
Dogs were running loose on the property filled with massive debris. They were all living in crowded, dilapidated pens and feces and urine soaked kennels throughout the entire property in several different buildings.
Sadly, there were also dead dogs and their remains scattered throughout the property and starving dogs found to be feeding on the remains in an effort to stay alive. Several bodies were found in burn piles as well throughout the property.
Quoted from someone who was on the scene, “This is one of the worst cases of animal abuse I have seen,” said Animal Rescue Corps President Scotlund Haisley. “The dogs had no access to food, water, or shelter. They were eating each other to stay alive.”

NOTE: This statement was found on the following page of Paws and Claws. However, this is a different Paws and Claws also based in Kentucky. They state they are NOT the same rescue as the one were the seizure occurred. Please make sure to not confuse the two as they are separate entities ad rescue groups. DO YOUR RESEARCH PLEASE!
