“Heartbreaking”: First of all

OGDEN – Now that two men are suspended in connection with more than 150 dogs that have been obtained in a small home, there are hundreds of charges, there are concerns about the general health of many of these dogs and whether the laws of Utah do enough to protect animals.

“These dogs earn better,” said Lisa Peterson, who supported one of the dogs shortly after they were saved from the house along the Jackson Avenue. “Six hundred fees. That sounds a lot. But what is really what to do? A few thousand dollars of fines? What will prevent?”

Peterson promoted Koko for a few weeks and intended to adopt them. Instead, Koko died on Wednesday. Peterson believes that due to generations of inbreeding in the house, Koko was not strong enough to recover.

“It was heartbreaking,” said Peterson. “I was your first person. Really your only person. Do you know?

Peterson adds that the close camaraderie did not come immediately.

“It was 5 pounds, 2 ounces. Only the sweetest and loving dog,” Peterson recalled. “And you could see that human touch was a scary thing for her.”

Now Peterson says that this Hortenfall has urged her to do something that she has been considering for many years. pull up an animal rescue. Dirt Roads Animal Rescue currently has a non -profit 503 ° C, and several board members will help promote animals. Peterson's first rescue arrived today. She says that McAllister should be put to sleep this week.

“The reality of the situation is that there are only so many kennels, right? And there are only so many hands that can help these dogs,” said Peterson.

She says that more people can help by adopting and promoting animals in need.

Miguel Salgado Vargas is charged with 637 offenses, and his nephew Ramon Cano Aispuro is charged with 336 offenses in connection with the afterlife. 149 dogs were also saved from Salgado Vargas' house in 2012.

Public prosecutors say that he was not charged at the time because he asked for help, the dogs voluntarily given up and agreed to receive advice. This time the dogs were saved on the basis of a search command. Salgado Vargas will be released next week before the Ogden Justice Court.
