I know small towns have many demands on their time and resources but whatever their size. they're still bureaucrats for the most part. If it isn't something they handle every day, part of their usual routine, they'll just keep passing it off from one department to another hoping it will stick on anyone's desk but theirs. I notice that no one said that nothing could be done just that it wasn't their responsibility. I don't care much for the Sheriff Department position that animal cruelty is the owner's business or right. Someone should remind them that was once Michael Vick's position a couple of years ago. Moreover, I noticed that no one said that nothing could be done just that it wasn't their responsibility.

Call the most aggressive, ambitious, investigative reporter in the state, hopefully a popular or well-respected one with a television station. Offer the story to him/her first and if you get a luke warm response, ask for suggestions or direction.

Contact candidates running for election in that area.

Did you get pics?

"Did you get pics?"

I actually went back out there with the intention of taking some pictures, but it is one of those kinds of places where you just never feel real comfortable because you don't know when someone might come out of nowhere with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a shotgun in the other. Some of these inbred types are real touchy...and perpetually paranoid. I might go back out tomorrow and take a deputy with me...on a "just in case" basis. We can't carry a gun, but they can.
