This case highlights a much larger problem for "livestock" animals who are discovered in rural abuse and neglect cases.  The dog on the property was taken to the local Humane Society, but the cows, goats, sheep, and chickens were taken right back to the livestock auction.  

Who made that fateful decision? Was it the Sherriff's office? Was it the local Humane Society who was involved in the case? Who profited off of the sale of the animals' lives?  Where are the animals now? Why is it nearly impossible for the public and Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary to get prompt and honest answers to these questions when that information could have saved animals' lives? How will these cases be handled in the future? Why has the pubic trust been so violated while no one is held accountable? These are very important questions that have NOT been answered.  

When the media reports that the surviving animals have been confiscated by the authorities, or relinquished to the authorities who are in charge of filing and pursing abuse and neglect charges, the public is led to believe that the animals are now in safe and protective custody.   

The media has failed to report the actual fate of the animals who have had no protection and the one and only opportunity at a true life of rescue, peace, and life-long tender care by Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary, has been denied to them, despite PPS's tireless efforts at locating the animals.
