TN is dreadful when it comes to treatment of pets and animals in general. Neglect is rampant. I believe TBI was tasked to handle this issue about 10 years ago, but it never got better. I can’t even imagine how people can have pets and then do things that obviously will kill them.
And there’s a woman, Cameo Farr, who ran a crematory for pets. She was just dumping them to rot and giving owners ashes, but not of their pets. Our cat was one of them.
It’s a crime, and Hubby dogged TPTB to have her protected, but she never has had to answer for it.
“to have her protected” = PROSECUTED, not protected.
