Meanwhile, King's veterinarian of record, Stevenson, is facing trial for an animal cruelty charge related to a surgical procedure he performed after King allegedly severed the dog's tail by accident March 9.

Severed the dog's tail by accident? Seriously...someone would say in court that it was an accident? I'm sure that there are possible very odd scenarios where you accidentally cut a dog's tail, but I doubt it in the case of this mass breeder.

Common sense tells me that when you have 18 charges against you, regardless of how many of those stick, you're a bad "so-called" breeder.

This unprovable nonsense is getting waaaaay too far out to be true. When it comes from a group definately by their own definition out to permanently eradicate all domestic animals--nothing any says can be believed. Possibly worse than crucifying our breeders and vets, they endanger our national security. Our nation's food storage is at one of the lowest levels ever. We don't need these terrorists trying to eradicate animals as companions, for work, and for food. Animals we need and always will. Radicals we have no need for. The state that participates in wasting money in frivolous trials deserves to be sued as well.

What group are you talking about? The PA chapter of the SPCA? They are not PETA. Where are you getting this info that they don't want you to have 'domestic animals'? SPCA radical?

Seems you are taking this accusation/charge and running with it, with intentions/designs of your own to make the PA SPCA chapter look bad. Please include some evidence with YOUR charges.

As the GEICO caveman would say...uh, what?!

You're charging the SPCA with eradicating domestic animals? I suggest someone goes back on their medication(s).

Stevenson testified at his preliminary hearing that he didn't amputate more of the puppy's tail, but only snipped away skin, dried blood and scab. He also denied Loller's charge that he held the dog's back end under steaming water before cutting it with scissors.


I was told that the scalding hot water wasn't even possible b/c the kennel didn't have a hot water heater. Cold water only. So now I'm starting to question a lot of what was reported and the charges that were brought against the Vet and kennel owner.

I think he meant livestock.

PSCPA and PETA have often played the ends justify the means. Credibility is not of their concern if it gets the job done.
