Return My Illegally Taken Pets

Return My Illegally Taken Pets.

My family as well as other innocent people continues to have their loved and well cared for pets illegally taken by a corrupt unqualified animal control/shelter director. This is happening all over and if it isn't stopped now it will continue and you may find yourself being threatened with false charges and losing your pets.

My story, we had just rented a place one day, moved in the next, that night the owner came and said he changed his mind and to get out, and went for eviction, we were fighting it when we were thrown out that day by two sheriff deputies. We were refused to be able to leave with our pets to take them somewhere else and the animal shelter director showed up. The order to have us removed was sign by a judge who is one of the directors family members. I was in shock from everything happening and couldn't think straight at all, he started threatening me with false charges and even threatened to have my 16 yr old daughter arrested simply because she said she didn't want her pets taken. I hadn't even realized the sheriffs deputies had left until he threatened my daughter and I looked towards where they were before and noticed they had left. He could have called them back with any amount of lies to have us falsely arrested. He also claimed he needed my signature in case something happened and needed to get any of them medical attention, he continued to bully, threaten and intimidate me into signing a paper I was in to much shock and not all mentally there to sign and every time my 21 yr old son even approached him he was told to shut up and go away. Like with adopt a lab not all our pets are mine some are my sons but he was told to shut up and go away. He isolated me from my kids who could think more clearly than I could. I was told I could keep two. We now have those two back but they had to be treated for kennel cough from being in the animal shelter. My son called the mayors office and told them what happened, they refused to return my sons pets, but we found out they let him get off with adopt a lab as well. When we picked up the two we were once again threatened with false charges if we try to fight to get the rest back. We have contacted many and are fighting.

I was in shock, literally mental shock and could not think straight. I began calling around to other places trying to get help but all the person did was call and let him know I was calling around telling people what I had told them. When we picked up the two we were once again threatened with false charges if we try to fight to get the rest back or if I continued to tell how I was threatened with false charges. We have contacted many and are fighting anyways. He flat out told me that I would never ever lay eyes on my pets again. He has changed his story many times for his excuse why he illegally took them. First he claimed abandonment, but I was refused to be allowed to take my pets and leave, my pets are like my kids, I would never ever abandon them. Many people know I would never harm them like that. Then he changed it to claiming I supposedly wasn't feeding them, however, I'm an annoying picture person and take pictures & videos of my pets daily. I have thousands of photo's that show my pets were healthy. He then changed it to claiming I was violating hybrid laws. I proved that wrong, my hybrids are inside never out besides to be walked on a leash to use the bathroom. Never alone out without us right next to them. He then tried to claim, because I hadn't socialized them like I should have, when if I had I would then be breaking the laws. He then changed it to claiming I was an illegal dog breeder because one of our males got into the room where we had our female that was in heat. She had her very first ever litter of puppies. Puppies my daughter grew attached to and our reason for planning to move away and open a sanctuary so we could keep them. We had the legal amount of animals until the pups came & they were just turning the age of 6 months and why we were moving. He didn't claim it but in case he tries, my house was cleaned 3 times a day and like with the pets I have many photo's that shows my house was kept clean. We found out when going to appeal that there was nothing to appeal as he documented it as I just didn't want them and signed them over. That is a lie! I want my pets returned to my family and have a twitter set up @helpfindourpets and a facebook page to try to find where they are as he said he sent them off before I was even allowed to pick up the two he would return to me.

Our pets aren't just pets, we see them as family, fur kids, and they were also emotional therapy for my teenage daughter.

As I stated before, there was no warrant, no just cause to take them, only threats of false charges, bullying, and intimidation tactics. I was also not given the legal time frame to fight for them, he gave me 5 days (which they were taken on a friday) only when it's supposed to be 10 days.

All pets were taken without warrants or any type of court proceedings; just he does what he wants without regard to laws or civil rights.

Not only were they illegally seized, but done just 3 days after an account pretending to be my ex (my kids & I were going through intense domestic violence, stalking, & harassment at this very same time and I have thousands of screenshots to prove it) said to see what they had planned for me next, and then posted about using the government against me.

This man is very abusive and singles women out when he takes pets and its women he threatens with false charges. This man is illegally removing pets well cared for and loved pets for financial gain.

I did not neglect my pets, they were spoiled, and I have a lot of people who know and watched them grow up, even through photos and videos and many who know I would never ever give my pets up. They are kids to me, one's I'm very worried about so I hope you will help me get them returned to me. They always had plenty of food & were well taken care of. I was not a hoarder, I did not breed animals, and I followed all the laws, I could afford to take care of them, and my house stayed very clean. As a matter of fact I'm OCD, which I can prove with numerous individuals.

I am not the first person this has happened to. The first known to us was a place called "Adopt A Lab" a report was called in from an employee that was just fired for not keeping up on his job, cleaning, which is what the report was for. They were also boarding other peoples pets when they used illegal tactics to take every animal there including other peoples. This rescue had the backing of their vet as well as the state board of health saying there was no reason to take their animals but yet this guy threatened this woman with false charges if she didn't sign them ALL over. Yes even animals she had no legal right to sign over leaving those people to fight to get them back. Here is a link to an opinion article written about it from our last deputy mayor

http://www.thestarpress.com/article/20121209/OPINION03/312090021/

Next made public was in Cowan Indiana, "county area" where there is NO limit to how many animals can be kept. All pets were taken, media were there but were not allowed in, he was claiming the house was un-livable. People on the newspaper were commenting it sounded fishy because why weren't cps called in if it was that bad the animals needed taken, so later cps was called in, it just so happens that this guy has friends who work for cps, they were only called in to help him cover his tracks. I have screenshots of this woman having to deal with cps nothing has been said about threats of false charges if she fought it, she's probably afraid she'll lose her daughter as well if she does.

Next made public was a lady in Albany Indiana, once again county where there were no limits. This woman's house was not unfit, the dogs were healthy but, all but three dogs were taken anyways. Not sure if she was threatened with false charges if she fought it and she is rumored to have taken her pets she was given back and left the state. If a few pets are left to keep, how can there be a real reason to take others? There isn't! And it was also done from a supposed tip.

There is also a young woman who is currently missing that was wrongfully charged with abandonment of her husbands dogs, when according to others she moved out before her husband did. This woman vanished and her family has stated she would never leave her kids like that over such a charge, nor was she using drugs. There seems to be a pattern with not just those he thinks he can threaten with false charges, or bring false charges on but also one's who are dealing with some form of harassment from others.

Then another young woman who was also being evicted was charged after her landlord claimed she moved and left her dead dog, except her dog is still very much alive. There are to many more to keep listing.

The director of the Muncie Indiana animal shelter/control, Phil Peckinpaugh, is unqualified for the position he holds. He was given the position of director by our city mayor whom he is a very close friend of. His only degree is in Media Communications and his only animal related work experience was at a rescue that had been in trouble for picking up peoples pets, lying saying they didn't have them then trying to sell them. He has done the exact same thing at the Muncie animal shelter and more to generate the broke city income. Our last mayor before our present said Muncie Indiana was broke, however, when our current took office it went from not broke to no longer broke. The fines this director has been able to generate for the city and the amount collected from selling dogs & cats has been funding the creation of pay to use dog parks around the city and who knows what else.

This same corrupt director made the local newspaper for assaulting a local attorney showing that he is abusive, violent, & has a very short temper. Anyone violent should never be allowed to work with animals and especially should never hold the directors position. He also liked a facebook page to an online store that is selling real fur coats, including Timber Wolf and Fox Fur among others. It's unethical for someone who is supposed to be for protecting animals to be ok with and deal with someone who sells real fur. This man has also been lying about having missing animals & selling them. Which is the equal to pet flipping just being done by a city ran shelter. The judge who over saw all the cases brought by the shelter director was recently removed, & banned for life for violating citizens rights, & over-stepping her authority in cases, some of the cases that helped get her removed and banned were animal cases brought by the shelter director. Here is the PDF of the findings

Here is the link to the news article of him and his father assaulting a man and here is the link to a video I made of the article in-case they remove it. http://www.thestarpress.com/article/20140408/NEWS01/304080005/Muncie-politics-Delaware-County-politics-Walker-Roysdon-Report-city-officials-fight-Yorktown-official-charged

I discovered an article about a pack of wolf hybrids you can read it and it's comments here http://www.thestarpress.com/story/news/local/2015/05/17/muncie-wolf-dogs-killed-jack-russell-hearing-euthanize/27495553/ This article helps show that the director of the animal shelter purposely targeted my family for abusers to illegally seize my hybrids and threatening me with false trumped up charges (by him, as you will see in his comment on this article that he is not law enforcement to do such) if I told anyone or tried to fight for my dogs.  The man in this article keeps his outside, mine were kept inside, mine were never alone to hurt anyone, I never got a meeting, notta, just threats if I exposed him.

The director also admitted to participating in a hog wrestling event where you could clearly see the poor animal was frightened and squealing for help. He admitted the pig was distressed but "The pigs are definitely in distress," Phil Peckinpaugh said, although he added, "I never saw one that I thought would be hurt." which clearly shows his lack of knowledge of animals. How can someone who charges regular people for animal cruelty say or think that an animal that's being psychologically tormented isn't being hurt? http://www.thestarpress.com/story/news/local/2015/05/04/county-fair-hog-wrestling-delaware-county-petition-controversy-animal-shelter-director/26873493/

It's being proven more everyday that animals feel the same emotions as humans, they love, they feel pain, they mourn, they parent, and are intelligent living beings. When this director illegally takes pets away from loving responsible homes, it like violently ripping a child away from their parents & family, they feel the same, frightened, and then guilt, wondering why & not able to understand. Animals suffer from depression; they can get PTSD from being violently ripped away from their home. These same things are also being felt by the family they were taken from because many people consider their pets as extra furry children. This is not only abuse, and animal cruelty but also abuse & cruelty to the pets owners and exploitation of both.

Not one of this guys accusations should be believed, every charge ever brought on his accusations against people need to be re-investigated by the US Department Of Justice, and the Department of Agriculture especially since the judge he sent cases before has been banned for life for violating citizens rights

I and those who have signed ask that my pets be returned, and that you investigate the shelters activities and cases from 2012 when he took over, and remove and prosecute the director for illegally & wrongfully taking peoples pets. Remove this violent man from his position before he harms anymore pets or families.

Muncie has targeted pet owners the way police in Ferguson targeted it's citizens to abuse & exploit to generate its city income. Muncie's mayor should be removed from his position, the director should be charged, pets need to be returned, and the city should have to provide each family financial compensation. The city is currently being sued for sexual harassment by one of it's female citizens.
