Lacks support for passage? What a load of dog poop! As a dog lover and Ohio voter I support this bill, tons of people do! We've written and called our legislators telling them we need better laws for our companion animals. Why don't those in Columbus listen to their constituents? Why hasn't Nitro's Law been put on the floor so all the Senators can vote on it? Then we could see once and for all exactly who we should vote for in the next election. Call Senate President Niehaus 614-466-8082 and vote on this bill tomorrow.
The scales of Justice were tilted once again for the DOG KILLER! No one to ask questions other than the defense? Judge Douglas and this Probation Officer are once again NOT DOING THEIR JOBS! 3 years later and it's still a clusterf! The Job I pay them to do as a hard-working tax payer. Gerberry and Hagan aren't doing their jobs either! Why is it taking so long to get this no-brainer bill passed? I own dogs and I vote so do all of my friends, family, co-workers and neighbors! We are ALL following this bill very, very closely and the outcome will decide how we will vote come election day. GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND GET THIS BILL PASSED NOW!
I didn't know that Rescue dogs that are pulled from the Mahoning Pound and Adoption Center are put in the same kennel as clients dogs davec. Thanks for that information. I'll be sure to not to kennel my beloved rescued dogs at such a facility.
Good Old Judge Douglas has done it again! He's released the dog killer back into society. I'm sure glad I don't have to live right next door to him or all that close to him in Austintown. I've posted it before and I'll post it again "COMMUNITIES BEWARE" watch your children, your animals, your elderly and lock your doors!
2 of the dogs are HIS dogs, he owned them long before the kennel raid in 2008. Their names are Hannah and Peanut and that is what Croley still calls them. The 3rd dog belongs to his new very innocent wife.
Hannah and Peanut were adopted out by Animal Charities so how did Croley get them back? Another Animal Charities folly?
Why are all the animals still in the house with him?
Croley was convicted of 4 counts of animal cruelty not 2 as Vindy has stated here.
I am ashamed to live in this State. Animal abuse must be a felony and if the legislators don't pass Nitro's Law in 2012, it's time to clean house and get them out of office and that includes the sponsors of the bill, our own Gerberry and Hagan.
Reprehensible that our family members can be bought, sold, abused, tortured and killed with impunity because of backroom politics and money. Let's get LOUD people! They've waited LONG enough!!
So very sorry for your losses. I sure do hope the humane agent checks on those in the area already convicted of animal abuse. One in particular comes to mind. Tolerance of violent crimes against animals & misdemeanor penalties only encourage & increase its continuance.
I've followed this tragedy from the beginning just as you have Lou and you hit the nail right on the head. We won't stop till Nitro's Law is passed. I refuse to vote for anyone that doesn't work their butts off and get this bill passed. I'll be sure to tell all my co-workers, friends and family not to vote for them either and the reasons why. We're all huge animal lovers and we've had enough! That's not a threat, it's a promise!
My dogs are my family members and I want laws to protect companion animals and laws to punish the monsters that commit these horrible crimes. I used to kennel my dogs too but I haven't since this happened. It's a day I will never forget nor will I ever forget these dogs and their families. I keep them all in my prayers. I am embarrassed to say I live in this state and I am very afraid knowing this monster and others are living in my community. I will continue to do my part by voicing my support of this bill to Rep. Gerberry and Senator Schiavoni as well as the Committee members. This needs to be passed now.
