update on City of Dallas animal cruelty

On the the problem of the live Rottweiler (Mariah) thrown in the
landfill with a load of dead dogs by the City of Dallas.
I spoke to Assistant to the city Manager, Cherritta Johnson on
Tuesday, July 22nd. Her 3 main points were-
(1) Dallas Animal Control has stated that the dog did not come from
their animal shelter.
(2) the Dallas Sanitation Dept. who actually dumped the dog in the
landfill, are not investigating what happened and will not look into it until the
Police Investigation is done.
(3) Chief Shirley Gray is in charge of the investigation for the Dallas
Police Dept. Ms. Johnson says that the police dept. will not release
any info until the investigation is finished.

I had planned to call the police and ask anyway, but then I spoke to
Dee Stephens, investigator for the Humane Society. She said that the results
of the tests done on the dog by a vet she knew had come in and the
dog did not have traces of the euthenasia drug in its body. She is hoping to
have more info from Dallas Police tomorrow (Weds.) and will post it on
www.rckrotts.com/mariah.html
So, hopefully tomorrow we will know what the police decided about who (if anyone)
will be charged.
Thanks to EVERYONE who has taken the time to work on this problem. The calls and
e-mails have been great. Please keep checking back so that when we find exactly where
the problem is we can all work on getting it corrected.
God bless you all for caring.

Thanks so much for the information. I look forward to hearing more as the process unfolds. So they 'threw her out' even though she hadn't been euthanized? Oh brother...what that poor girl had to go through.

Hi all, I just received this e-mail today.

Update:
PLEASE CROSSPOST

The story finally made it to the Dallas Morning News. There are some
inaccuracies, but it is a start. Also there is new information on the
Mariah's Web Page so be sure to check out both links.

Hi Krissie,

Thanks so much for the update. What a mess! Those poor creatures have no one in their corner, do they. How terribly sad.
