Details Of Her Punishment For Animal Abuse

Cassandra Dietrich was from Rock, Michigan. She was accused and convicted of animal abuse. Some who new her said she used to work with rescue groups and took in Weimaraners as well as helped many people in the Weimaraner group. She was always there for advice and to lend a helping hand. So what happened to Cassandra Dietrich? The story goes like this. She bred and showed her dogs and took very good care of them. The reports though, reported her as being a puppy mill or what is called a backyard puppy mill.

She met a man and fell in love. He was from Finland and she was moving to be with him. She had told people she had dogs that needed good homes, but did not find anybody. This is when she committed this horrible case of animal abuse. In the dead of winter, she took one dog with her and left the other dogs in the freezing cold house. There was no food or water as well as no heat and the pipes had frozen.

One of the dogs included a puppy that should have weighed sixty pounds, but weighed less than forty pounds when found. The puppy was a co-owned dog, five Weimaraners were her own dogs, and one was a foster dog. The Humane Society nurture the dogs back to health and found new homes for them. Thank God, they all survived. Anyone who knew or had any connections to Cassandra Dietrich where not allowed to adopt any of the dogs. They were all adopted to people that knew nothing of this woman.

The problem is the punishment she received for this inhumane treatment of these Weimaraners. As I have stated before, animal abuse needs to stop and the punishments need to be harsher. Cassandra Dietrich had to pay $2900 in restitution and could not own a dog or any animal for ONE YEAR. Can you believe this punishment? Restitution only and no fine or jail time.

The dogs according to the Humane Society were covered with feces, underweight, emaciated and dehydrated along with other medical problems. These Weimaraners were left to die and all she received was restitution and could not own a dog or any animal for one year. Where is the justice in this?

Last year she and her husband moved from Finland to Atlanta, Georgia, but while in Finland she owned a dog, it was some type of mixed breed. As the story goes, she died of some disease in December of 2006 it was a severe allergy to gluten but I am unsure of the exact name of the health problem. Cassandra Dietrich was just one of the millions of people who get away with cruel and inhumane treatment to animals or did she? Only one person knows for sure.
