Corpus Christi Chain Off 2009 for Abused Dog Shepp, with News Brief and Irate Chainer

This is a synopsis of the Dogs Deserve Better Chain Off in Corpus Christi, Texas, where animal advocates chained themselves to doghouses and trees across from the beach at the "Sparkling City by the Bay" in order to raise awareness for the city's pitiful animal laws and failure to enforce Texas state laws against chaining of dogs. Video includes Chain Off photos and footage, a news story on the Shepp case and the inadequate sentence given to his abusers, and local chained dogs and a run-in with a chainer who was irate, but later talked down by DDB rep Adam Moran and agreed to release the worst dog and accept Dogs Deserve Better fencing help.

I remember the rescue of Shepp and am heartbroken that this sweet innocent dog died and that he ever went through what he did. Thank you for taking him in and letting him know there are good people. Anyone who can, please help this organization. Thank you Tammy and Dogs Deserve Better.

Thank you for being there for Shepp, for all the Shepp's ! Our hearts broke when this case was made public -:( and we are so sorry that his suffering wasn't taken seriously by the courts. How sad :( May what goes around come around to those who cause his suffering and death.

It is a sad fact of life that many animals suffer abuse of some kind during their lives. Abuse can take the form of physical assaults or punishment - but many suffer from the silent abuse of neglect. please support abused pets by visiting ABUSED-PETS DOT COM

Animal abuse happens everywhere. To portray this as a way of life in Corpus is ludicrous. Go to the midwest where it happens all the time. No one says that's the midwest. Bad people everywhere. That's why these organizations get laughed off half the time. They only show one side and people know it. Lots of animal lovers in Corpus.

We don't have to drag them into our house. They just have to be threatening us while on our property. We have the lowest crime rate in the country because who mugs someone who probably carries a gun. As for rough necks, Texas has soem of the highest educated, richest people in the world. We also have bad people just like everyone else.

Those two asshole lunatics need their asses whipped. The fine would be worth it.

I am a resident of Corpus Christi and the wild cat population is out of control. People will feed them and not give a thought to the fact that they are just prepetuating the cycle......I know a few brave souls who will catch and fix cats. I am not surprised about the chaining of dogs, I see it often. People here are much more interested in protecting property from damage, graffiti offenders have some of the highest penalties in the state. Dog and cat abuse comes last.

yup thats Corpus! This makes me very sad but its so true how so many people there leave animals chained up, people even let there dogs run around. I know this first hand cause i was born and raised there. I walked to school almost every day of my life and it sucked so bad to have a million dogs barking at you and or follow you. Walking at night was the worst! No matter what street you go down there's someone waiting. If you ask my mom I would try to bring a dog home like once a week. Very Sad!
