Hi All! I am new here, and am trying to help a friend in Kentucky locate Marans that are possibly in the South Shore area of Kentucky, that was where they originated from, my friends family sold eggs and produce on Route 23 near Siloam Lane in the 80's to about the mid to late 80's, he went away to school and the family gave the birds to a Seed Buyer that was in the area at the time purchasing Seeds from the local Farmers, his grandfather sold this man Sugar Melon Seeds. Possibly some of you Kentucky people purchased eggs or produce from them, I am hoping someone hatched some of the eggs they bought from them, or possibly know the name of the Seed Buyer. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

These people are (were) about two miles from me. They had such a nasty attitude about the local people (Kentucky people in general) that it is no wonder they had so many animals -- they never aproved anyone for adoption,a s far as I know - they just collected animals. (a lot of the dogs came with them from Oregon - I wonder why they left Oregon... hmmm?)

Their website had a "blog" they would post to talking about how poor and ignorant the people around here are - and how badly they abuse their animals. :::snort:::

I knew about this a few days ago, when my neighbor (local Constable) called me to ask if I wanted to take in one of the pot bellied pigs. He was at the place when he called me, and said it was BAD and he hadn't even gotten inside the building yet.

Self righteous idiots shouldn't be allowed to have animals.

I hope the guy gets a lot of jail time for this, and I hope they charge him for making his 85 year old father live in that building with those animals, too.

OREGON TO KENTUCKY:
MORE THAN MERELY MILES SEPARATE THE TWO STATES
If you've ever visited Clean Slate's website in the past, you may be noticing some changes now. Since our move to Kentucky last March, life has been busier than ever; we've been settling in, getting to know the area, and - most importantly - determining the next step for Clean Slate. While it was a beautifully simple task to adopt out our furred friends to loving forever homes in Oregon, Kentucky is another matter entirely. The situation here is dire: overpopulation runs rampant, breeding for much-needed cash goes unchecked, and animals are viewed as utilitarian and disposable. If you've noticed a scaled-down approach to our website, there's a reason for that: Our first and last goal is to educate the area and get animals spayed or neutered and out of here as quickly as possible. Fundraisers and more comprehensive programs will be in the works at a later date, but for now our focus must be on making a difference for the animals living in this deeply neglected part of the country. Read about our trials and tribulations in the Clean Slate blog, check out our many adoptable dogs and cats, and consider helping us set up a transport network to ship these highly adoptable companions to a more rescue-friendly area. It is indeed a whole new world here, filled with challenges, frustrations, and - of course - lots and lots of promise. Join us in providing a Clean Slate for Kentucky's neglected animal population!

Jeez, I received notification about this this morning through one of the rescue groups I belong to. And then people wonder why rescue groups are so stringent in their requirements for prospective adoptees. I hope they throw the book at him. Sadly, alot of the dogs have scarcoptic mange, there were several females that were close to whelping, in fact one had just finished and one was in process during Fridays initial incident. Some of these animals came from other shelters here in Kentucky. Several of the cats are severely ill, not to mention the other animals. Most were dehyrdrated and starving. The rescue groups brought in food, blankets, shampoos, hay and shavings, disenfectant and other things. The two vets involved are donating their time to care for these animals, but the medicines cost money. Sadly, in all probability most of these animals, if they survive, will face a long road of recovery ahead of them and may end up having to be euthanized because of age, illness, or being unplaceable and unadoptable.

I saw that in the paper this morning. So sad.

It said there were 50 chickens involved. I would consider adopting some of those, except that I am terrified of diseases after my flock got wiped out last summer.

I can't believe these people could call themselves a rescue, and write bad things about KY and the animal conditions here when they themselves are probably worse than most things you'll find here.

 

[shelleyd2008]

Does anyone know what they did with the PBP's or the chinchillas? I would love to take them! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would though. Any idea where I can find out?

Oh, and FrChuckW, I got your m.o. Friday for the geese, I just haven't posted yet. Sorry....been busy.....the crazy seed swap has me hooked!

VERY URGENT! - Columbia, KY - 250 + dogs and cats (plus other animals taken to a farm) in desperate need!

We have a critical situation here. A rescue, which turned into a hoarding situation was shut down. There are over 300 animals there that have been taken to the county shelter and to a farm. The county shelter can accommodate 40 dogs. The animals are being kept outside and we are expecting snow.

The judge in the case has banned the owner from ever owning another dog and has told our rescue people that when he rules on Monday, the animals will be euthanized as Adair County will not spend "one penny" on these animals (his words, not mine).

We are in need of rescues, fosters, adopters or anyone who can temporarily or permanently take one of these animals. The cats are not on this site but the dogs that are available are!

Please email me if you can help!

That is so sad. At least they went to the shelter, and not the 'animal warden'. They would get a humane euthanization at the shelter, instead of just getting shot. That's what the 'animal warden' would do with them. I don't know if he even is in operation anymore, but it wouldn't surprise me.
