Your article is from Dec 27, 2013. Here is a blog post from Dec 31, 2013 which says he was fired....
“Yesterday, Seese received a letter stating he was fired. His name has been removed from Pike County’s Conservation website which was still there yesterday.”
Thank you so much for the article update! I was worried about Lexa’s future, but Lexa/Jaynah sounds like she’s doing well and her new picture is fabulous!!
“Lexi now known as Jaynah was rescued by Divine Destiny Rescue back in March when she was found by a state police trooper and a State Humane Police Officer. Jaynah had been found with her back legs bound together by duct tape as well as her front legs and her mouth. She was also placed in a dirty chicken coop with no food nor water. She suffered horrific injuries in which Seese didn’t seek veterinarian care.
From sources, it was disclosed that Seese was trying to kill his dog and this was the method in which he chose. In Pennsylvania, it is NOT illegal to kill your own dog. Yes, Pennsylvania needs to change its backward laws.
People started an online petition to have Seese fired and bombarded the Conservation District with phone calls where he continued to be employed as a Resource Conservationist. Ironically, Seese was not barred from having any future pets.
Yesterday, Seese received a letter stating he was fired. His name has been removed from Pike County’s Conservation website which was still there yesterday.
The people talked and justice has prevailed.
Remember your voice does count for those who cannot speak! You can make a difference and you have!
Jaynah has been working with trainer/behaviorist Nick Ferraro for four months and is just about ready to start a new life with a “wonderful new family with the right situation.””

Since he is not barred from owning future pets, he’ll do it again, with a new dog.
