“These disgusting incidents are way too common. People live this way, doing terrible things to defenseless animals while creating health hazards around them. The judges should take note and hold these kind of people fully accountable. Thank you Anderson County PAWS, Charleston Animal Society, and The Humane Society of the United States for your dedication and assistance in terrible situations such as this one.”
