I was watching Judge Judy during my Christmas break.
The case was about a man who was suing a rescue for not returning a Chi he surrendered to them to adopt out. After a long time, the dog had never been adopted so he wanted the dog back.
The lady who ran the rescue refused return the dog because he had a history of euthanizing dogs. The man admitted to having carried out the last wishes of a woman who died and euthanized nine (9) dogs and buried them with her in a pet cemetery.
The Chi had a severe but life-long skin disorder which made it unlikely for anyone to want to adopt him. She brought a vet to testify to this effect. The rescue lady decided to keep the dog in her sanctuary instead. However, the plaintiff contended that the poor dog was often caged in at the rescue and he wanted to provide the dog better living conditions.
Judge Judy was livid. She said that normally, she would agree to have the dog returned to someone in his situation. However, she could not sleep well turning over a dog to a man who was willing to carry out the insane last wishes of a dead woman by KILLING 9 dogs who were not ready to all die at the same time. She dismissed his case.
I'm so angered at the selfishness of some so-called dog lovers. If the woman loved her dogs, her last request would be to have all of her money and her dogs given to a rescue so that her dogs could comfortably live the remainder of their years. She would not want them all killed. Further, even if the woman was a little crazy and wanted that, a SANE person would contest it.
