Andrea Rosebrock 
Welcome to a new year, and my vote for the first POS of 2010 goes to Jamie Lee Chandley of Lorain Ohio. Jamie Chandley is a backyard breeder who advertises her business as Midnight Acres Great Danes. On Christmas Day she called the police to report her estranged husband had kicked in the door to their home and robbed her of a few items. When the police arrived, it was not the stolen items that concerned them.
It was three, emaciated, starving Great Danes. According to the police report, the three dogs, were freezing outside in a dog run with no food or water and were covered in feces. Jaime Chandley was arrested and charged with three counts of animal cruelty.
The adult female pictured is Foxy. She weighed just 58 pounds. Her weight should have been between 110 and 150 pounds. She was the worst of the three and vets caring for her were concerned because she was unable to eat. Look at that poor girl. Skin and bones and covered in sores. And from the looks of it, she was probably continually bred.
Sadly, Foxy has died.
The other two dogs, Sky, a five month old female, and Deuce, an adult male, are doing well and should recover. Veterinarians estimate that these three dogs may have gone without food for well over a month.
And Jamie Chandley was able to post $3,000 bond. Gee, she found enough money to bail herself out but she couldn’t find enough money to fee these dogs?
Well she *boo-hooed* it to the judge – my house is in forecloooooosure…I lost my huuuuuuuusband…I made a bad deciiiiiiiiiiiiiiision… Yah, one big sob story when they get caught.
Facing three counts of cruelty to animals, she appeared in Lorain Municipal Court and pleaded no contest to animal cruelty charges and was sentenced to 90 days behind bars for abusing and neglecting her three Great Danes. The 90 days in jail is for one count of animal cruelty. The sentence for the other two counts was suspended. In addition to the jail time, Chandley received the maximum fine of $750 on each count for a total of $2,250 and will pay restitution for the vet bills. The amount of the restitution will be decided in a restitution hearing on January 27. She also received five years probation and is forbidden from keeping animals while on probation. She was taken to jail directly from the courtroom.
What the hell kind of sentence is that? I doubt she’ll be serving the entire amount and she’ll probably just move to another county or state and start up again. After all, for some of these idiots, it’s just the cost of doing business.
Unless the laws get stricter with higher fines, longer jail terms, and lifetime bans on owning animals; 2010 and the years following will fill up this blog with nothing else but more skanks like Jamie Chandley.
Doctor Wood of The Lorain Animal Clinic is providing treatment to Sky and Deuce out of his own pocket. Should you like to make a donation to this cause, you can send your donation to the Wood Foundation, 4205 Oberlin Avenue, Lorain, 44053 (440-282.6769).
Oh my, I just read about this POS on PetAbuse.Com updates a few moments ago. Welcome 2010. Doesn’t look like she has missed many meals from her mug. The pics are deeply disturbing. Poor babies
RIP Foxy sweet baby. When or where will this ever end??? I am so sick and so sad. Thank you Doctor Wood with the heart of gold!
P S Dee: Did you get my email about poor Buddy being stolen and dragged to his death in Colorado? It is also on todays updates at PetAbuse.Com.
And everyone, sign that petition to put that BAS***D where he belongs, yet still not the place I would put him. Sign the petition PLEASE.
We’re trying real hard to get the law change here in Ohio, current status for animal cruelty is a misdemeanor. Getting HB 70 passed would make it a felony.
Thanks Cinci_Celine. I hope it passes. Please keep us posted.
P S I hope they withhold food from the POS for at least the first 30 days of her measly sentence.
cinci_celine You Rock : )
awwww Foxy, u sweet beautiful girl….all i can do right now is just sob my heart out….when what i really wanna do is rip that POS’s heart out……u rest, sweet girl. u will not hurt anymore..bless u.
i keep telling myself, dru….DO NOT look in D’s site till later in the day….do i ever listen 2 myself? the first thing i did when i got up is~let the dogs out, fed the cats, leet the dogs in, did the dishes cuz i’d been SO tired 2 do em last night. then i came upstairs n turned on my puter nthis was the FIRST thing i read…..THEN my heart broke….THEN i went back downstairs 2 the basement n out the back door…….i let out a scream that even blew my mind….my neighbor looked out her door n asked if i was ok…….i told her i was sorry for the disturbance n went back inside….i feel like i’m gonna drown in these tears of mine. i feel SO DAMNED USELESS!!!!! all these babies r being tortured, murdered abused n i can’t do a thing about it. i’m laying on my bed right now waiting for my friend 2 pick me up n i have 2 of my dogs n 4 of my cats all cuddled around me. i hug em n spread all these tears all over em. WTF is wrong with these ASSHOLES (sorry D, i know i’m NOT supposed 2 use profanity. this was the softest word i could find)???? Annabelle, 1 of my cats, is draped over my right arm as i type….not easy 2 do…she is comforting me…i’m her favorite, lol, n she hates 2 see me so upset…..OK, i’m done rantin……for now. thank u, dear family for listening.
dru, I know how you feel.I was that way last night after getting a letter on care2 about what some rotten POS did to these two innocent little babies. I saw red and if I could have gotten my hands on the vile POS that did that thay would have suffered A LOT, before they died.We put rabid dogs down don’t we, so when are we going to start putting rabid people down. And I don’t want to hear from anyone about these are humane beings! They are not humane beings,they are monsters pulling off the great allusion of being human and if Hell is too full, maybe God could paralize them. At least there would be a garentee that they would do no more harm, plus they would pay for their crime and not breed more like themselves : )
TOTALLY UNDERSTAND YA DRU~~~ my babis are my LIFE~ when I read these posts and feel helpless and BAWL my head off, my babies are always there to lick away my tears, my Rottie, TANK, he is 160# and when I cry because of all the animal cruelty, torture. dog fighting, SORRY EXCUSE sentencing for the crimes, TANK will come and prop his butt on me and lick me until he knows I have calmed down, then I just snuggle and kiss them all and THANK GOD they are with me…..if I ever become homeless NO MATTER WHAT….my furbabies are my FIRST PRIORITY. The sad thing is when a furbaby is born, their life all depends on what type of human being takes them, I wish we could tatoo in BIG RED LETTERS on one’s forehead ANIMAL ABUSER, CHILD ABUSER…etc……actually I would rather see LIFE sentences…..even death sentences for some cases. So know I am with you DRU, I know when I turn on the computer the tears will be falling because of our JUSTICE SYSTEM…..IT NEEDS TO CHANGE TO OPEN THESE LOW LIFE SCUMBAGS EYES!!!!
Ahh, THE SCARLETT LETTER – oh yes!
Oh Dru…I hear you and echo your heartfelt sincerity. I am feeling useless as well. But, I must keep trying to make a difference where and when I can. You are a good pet parent so please find some small comfort in that <3
Well its always a bad enough crime for a fine, because if you notice the court always seems to find the kahonies for that. but never bad enough to put this kind of trash where they belong. They all need put out of their misery.
Dru, your babies are comforting you because they can see that you are distressed. Give them big hugs, and tell them what is on your mind. They do understand. Really they do.
As for this POS – omg, I sure as hell hope that Ohio changes its laws, and considers this a felony. I look at poor Foxy’s picture, and just cry. RIP little angel, you will be loved where you are now, and things will be bright for you. You won’t have to ever suffer again. But this pos trash b***h, omg you deserve more than you got in your sentence. What the hell is wrong with people? Are us on this site the only caring individuals out there? (I know that is not a true statement; I work with so many who give a damn about the animals in rescue day in and day out).
I really believe the Dept of AG must step up and do quarterly checks on all breeders – un announced. Maybe if the Dept of AG had been doing its job, Foxy might have been spared.
I hope to hell this woman does not open another breeding facility in another state. She does not deserve to have an animal around her. Dumb b***h
Oh Susie I am with you except the Dept of Ag…you and I both know how absolutely useless they are if they choose to be and how polictically controlled and motivated they are. Here in MI the bills to ban gassing in shelters as well as to pass a pound seizure law have sat in the House AG committe for over a year…and guess what a leading veterinarian and professor of vet science at MSU advocates against pound siezure. Thinks that unadopted dogs and cats should be used for research rather than humanely euthanized, not that I agree with that, I am a NO KILL NATION backer mayself, but it is sure better than going to research. A fate worse than death. So much for Dept of Ag as far as I am concerned. Dept of Lag would be more like it.
Good thing they carried good old Jamie Lee right off to the pokey……..she will likely do less than the 90, and then skip out of town and move on to where she can run her dirty business somewhere else. Harrisburg PA is a good spot, that’s where the last abuser, breeder and aniaml cruelty charged POS has “fled to” and is now up and running under an AKA. Hmmmm Harrisburg…home of the infamous HHS and their steal Baron Shelter Director.
That leading veterinarian and professor of vet science at MSU needs to get his head examined, they have done every experiment known to man, millions of times and the abusers still want to do them again, of course those research grants, wouldn’t have anything to do with it, would it! Yeh Right.
And we wonder what is wrong with the children of today when you have so called educatures that think like that, influencing them. Most of the training in medical schools are not using live animals any more, so when is this slob going to get on board. Because you are right Peggy. Research is a fate worse than death. God help those little victims.
I cannot even bear the thought of what those little research victims have gone thru. It is something that gets me physically ill. That too must stop
Susie…my heart breaks over those wee research victims. i’ve only just stopped using Clorox cuz i found out they test on animals….this just blows my mind. i DON’T wanns b using products that test on innocents.
test on death row criminals, ppl like charlie manson, etc. o jeeez, i’m so bloody angry. have been since i read the post on Buddy…..k, i’m shuttin up now. i’m gonna take some Melatonin n gonna cuddle alla my babies n they’ll help me calm down.
You are right Excal…I think we are down to only 7 medical schools that still do live animal research, but most of the vet schools, as well as supposed thousands of others scientists, still use it and try to defend it. But we are making progress, and the way to do that is for people such as us to yell long and hard, publicize and educate like mad and to ACT.
Don’t buy products that are tested on animals, don’t support companies that do so, (that includes dog and cat food manufacturers, check of IAMS abysmal record of animal abuse), support organizations that advocate strongly against animal research and for aniaml protection (that would NOT be HSUS ASPCA or PETA) and make sure you never, ever miss an opportunity to tell others about the atrocities of animals in research.
One of the best sources for following any of this is SAEN. If you are anti animal experimentation, SAEN is by far the best for tracking. For product knowledge, the Compassionate guides from AAVS
http://www.aavs.org/shoppingGuide.php
and the one from NAVS
http://www.navs.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Shop
I could not shop without these. And don’t let these companies or doctors or medical schools fool you with their “just rats” and needed for human health Check out good old Dr Oz and his animal atrocities at Columbia Universtiy. As you say Excal,it is about the money. Check out those National Science Grants. Check out the paper trail too. WE already know most of this info, WE know that lye is not good to drink, smoking increaes the chance of lung cancer … AND that no matter what animal is used, animals react differently than we do. If we relied on animals for our food choices then grapes, raisins, and Chocolate would be out.
SAEN can also provide you with the grant monies involved, the supposed purpose, (some beyond understanding ..here is one of my favorites, how badly being slammed in the head with a baseball bat hurts the brain!!!) the NUMBER of dogs and cats used, in what, the source…most often Class B (the scum scroungers) and the Class A (the scum breeders…who actually breed to sell for animal experimentation … beagles are there preferred breeding stock. Want to really cry, try their literature and their scummy PR scam.
Sorry to be a downer, but if those of us who care enough to weep will not act, then who will.
Peggy, let’s not even go there with the Dept of AG. I am fed up to the gills with them. You are right, they are politically motivated. None of them care about the health and welfare of the animals. Rotten to the core – all of them.
Right on target about that….as if it takes more than a year to discuss and ponder over to gas or to ban gassing….gee….IDIOTS all.
Oh yeah and one more thing….I hope this scumbag has a flat tire on the highway and gets hit HEAD ON BY A SEMI!!! BUT I WANT HER TO SUFFER!!
YEH, there’s the ticket.
The way things are going by judges rulings , I’ll take 90 days , but someone informed another site it was house arrest , I hope not . Is it me , or does she look like a complete looser .Thank God that officer was there or all 3 would be dead , and no one would have known
C~O~M~P~L~E~T~E L~O~O~S~E~R
LOSER ALL CAPITALS…I am sorry Dee please forgive me <3
This makes me very angry when abusers get off so lightly they need to step up the punishment and give longer jail sentence it really isn’t good enough that dog paid with it’s life, why don’t the courts do more.
Julie, they don’t get it. None of them know the love of a dog. To them, it is “just a dog”. Like I said, people in all aspects of the judicial system should work in a shelter, work in a vets office, witness what true AC officers see daily, what rescue people see and work with on a daily basis – then I believe that the laws against animal cruelty and abuse will change.
Until they see and witness the results of animal abuse first hand, nothing will ever change.
Peggy is 100% right on target with great and truthful information. People should want to be educated…sadly, I guess it’s just “easier” for the ones that don’t,to just not give an “F”.
Deeply saddening and deeply disturbing.
Hi Lisa
Boy of Boy do I agree. It is saddening and deeply disturbing and maddening as all get out, but the nice thing about maddening….is that it is energizing. As they say…don’t get mad…get even. When we give up, the animals lose…and in the end …we all lose, we lose our humanity and our caring. Thumbs up to keep on caring, being maddened and the belief in the Power of One.
I wonder about neighbors who had to of heard, and maybe even seen, these dogs . . . What’s wrong with people who don’t want to get involved, when there are sooo many ways to do something anonymously? Do Something!
This throw-away generation, who replace anything for the latest and greatest gadgets, treat dogs and cats with the same kind of empty thoughts. Cruel and unusual, they don’t know the meaning of treasured love and might never have it in their lifetime.
Get used to these lax sentences. I have prosecuted dozens of people for similar things – and worse – and THEY ALL HAVE GOTTEN PROBATION. It’s sickening.
