Thanks to tips from concerned neighbors in Hardy, AR, rescuers and police have been able to get in a removed more than 3 dozen abandoned dogs, cats and other small animals from one Hardy home. Unfortunately not all the animals survived their abandonment, three dogs had already died.
“As they get sicker and sicker, they get less mobility and that’s how they end up dying. There were three dead inside the home,” said Northeast Arkansans’ For Animals’, Wannda Turner.
On Friday when police arrived at the home they were greeted by a gruesome site, a house filled with animals, feces and filth. The animals were sick, malnourished and parasite ridden and police say that no one had been in the home since February 25th.
“Last couple of years, on different occasions, I’ve had to go in there and talk to these folks because they would gather up so many dogs and cats,” said Hardy Police Chief, Ernest Rose.
Not only were the animals found at the house, there was also drug paraphernalia. Now the couple, Albert and Cassandra Dakus (?), are facing charges.
I think they should face charges alright, they should be sentenced to live in that hell hole in the same conditions they left those poor animals for a start. I will never be able to comprehend how anyone can walk out and just leave innocent and defenseless animals to fend for themselves when there’s no way they can. May they burn in hell!

As soon as the police go in and see conditions like that they should be able to close them down like that. Awful shame 3 dead rest weakening. Give police more powers in cases like this so we can bust their asses who abuse neglect abandon.
That’s one thing that really bothers me. This situation was not unknown and it is sad that it had to get to this point before anyone did anything. Thankfully it looks like most will be able to be save but none should have lost their lives. Damn shame!
D.
BURN IN HELL IS RIGHT~but I also hope to GOD they never are allowed to ever , ever ,ever own an animal again, people that do this crap make me so sick to my stomach, I would love to meet them in person but I am so affriad I would not be able to contain myself, this is why lately I lave animals so much more then I love humans, with the exceptions of the animal lovers and rescuers! Poor poor babies, can you imagine them just sitting there staring at the dorr wondering when someone was going to come and save them…..breaks my heart!
burning in hell would be much to nice. Put them in a house without any bathrooms and lock them in, board the windows up and let them live that way. They will beg to burn in hell. It is time that people need to be treated the same way they treat their animals, maybe then they will understand what they are doing wrong. I hope they really get what’s coming to them. They are useless pieces of crap.
I dont believe any of this bs. The economy is no excuse to leave animals sick dying. There are places these animals could have called humans waste these people are. There should be charges brought against them.
They could have called someone. They just dont care, I bet they were not starving.
Thaf figures drugs in the home. haha. I figured as much. they are way too high to care about anyone or anything. THE ECONOMY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANIMAL ABUSE OF ANY KIND. WE ARE IN THE YEAR 2009, WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR ANIMALS SHOULD A PERSON NOT BE ABLE TO CARE OR WONT CARE FOR THEM. THIS IS BS, BS, BS. I DONT BELIEVE ANY OF THIS.
