I agree this guy is an ASS!!!!
If he wasn’t going to be RESPONSIBLE and LOVING for his “furry” family member, what makes him the right choice to be deciding ANYTHING that concerns anything important for ANY humans man or women!!!!! I think he needs to be vetoed on ANY and EVERY decision he makes concerning humans or animals.
He’s APPALLING!!!!!
Let him do something and see if he isn’t judged for it. He is not even at human status if you ask me!!

T here is no human or otherwise excuse for the callous treatment of one of GOD’S creatures. How can you be elected? You have no feeling for such a precious pup or anything else for that matter. You probably feel the same about humans, making you so despicable. You should have been the one sent to the pound, a much better chouce.

I was appalled when I read this. How in the world can someone do that to a helpless pet? I know it happens all the time, but for a state senator, a leader to do this is just unacceptable. What a crock in his statement about giving her up. Does he think we are all stupid? He just didn’t realize this would get out. I Thank God for the internet and our ablility to bring stories like this to light all over the world. Thank You to the person that brought this story out and Thank you to the family that took in this beautiful Lady! Pray for people like the senator that are too stupid to look before they leap! And SC voters and animal lovers, remember this story when you go to the polls next go round!

Lavon, it goes beyond the fact that he turned the dog over to the shelter. He adopted this dog from this shelter and as part of the adoption he was supposed to have her spayed which he did not. He stuck he in an outdoor pen and basically left her there. She got out on numerous occasions and due to the Senator’s negligence, she wound up pregnant, then when he got tired of dealing with the problem, he dumped her, pregnant, back in the shelter.

State law requires all animals adopted from a shelter, pound and/or rescue be spayed or neutered. Marion County law requires that an unsprayed female pet be spayed upon adoption.

People found guilty of violating the state law, a misdemeanor, upon conviction, can be fined $500 to $1,000 and/or sentenced to 30 to 180 days in jail. Under county law, any person refusing to comply, upon conviction, can be fined not more than $100 or sentenced to not more than 30 days in jail.

Williams said he did not have the dog spayed because he hoped to breed her.

If she were spayed and made a part of the family, this whole problem would never have existed. Dogs are for life, not a convenience or a whim. They love and feel and you can be sure that she felt unloved, unwanted and uncared about. And one thing I do have to agree with is that it is a good thing, for the dog’s sake, that he did dump her because now she and her puppies will have a chance at a decent life with a loving and caring family.

What do you people want? Everyday you read in the paper or see on the news, pets that are mistreated or just not properly cared for. Now the Senator can not care for the dog and the puppies, so he gives it back for adoption to someone who can. What is so bad about that? You know it is dog if you do and dog if you don’t.Everybody sees things differently, and I see it as a good thing that he gave the dog back. Come on he could have kept it and the poor dog really suffered. All of you that are so heart broken because of this, please give the poor dog a home care for her and the pups and stop tring to find wrong with someone else.Plesae adopt her,and she won’t have to be put to sleep. If we stopped and read over our own life we could probally find a little something that was not right. Senator, I feel you did the right thing. I woould not have wanted to see your name in the paper that you were sited for poor care of dogs. Be blessed.

This is unbelievable I feel very sad. He said love for animals all his life? Very phoney. All I can say is, when you do something so wrong like this. Beware, because it will come back to him in some form, in some way. You cant stop it Senator or not. And when it does I hope he remembers this terrible act. I think he will. This is a blessing in disguise the dog is better off in a home where she will be loved.

This guy’s a poor excuse for a human being.
Vote hum out of office. He has no business
representing anyone or anything good.
