It has been a long time since my last post, but I felt it necessary to post about the state finally stepping in when it comes to Jill Schnedler! She has been breeding Great Danes for a while and only recently applied for a license. I guess she didn't realize she needed to have an inspection done and they had some "concerns" she had to address. Lately, it has been bitterly cold and she keeps her Danes in her UNHEATED, UNINSULATED, DRAFTY BARN! I've been in this barn before and it's one of the coldest barns I've been in. The state seized 25 dogs, a cat, and she surrendered a stallion (who required sedation to be trimmed by the farrier).
The state will investigate more, there will be charges and court proceedings. Wonder if the court will be open to the public? Anyways, you don't have to believe me. Below are the links to 2 different news articles about it!
Bangor Daily News - 20 dogs seized from Hampden property in an unheated barn
News Center Maine - 20 Great Danes and other animals seized from Hampden home
