The Trial for Danya Dufour must proceed as scheduled
The police are investigating an animal cruelty case involving more than 30 dachshunds and several other animals. Firefighters responding to a report of a possible oil burner fire earlier this month found the dachshunds, four cats, an iguana and a parrot living in unhealthy conditions.
Steve Sprowl, an investigator with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said the residents were running a puppy mill, selling the dogs on the Internet for more than $700 apiece.
The dogs were getting enough food but were not getting enough water and were sitting in their own waste in small pens.
Sprowl said he had to take one dog into protective custody because of a bite on its tail, and he later found bites all over its body. The dogs were fighting for dominance in the cramped space, he said.

We petition that Danya Dufuor be made to stand trial for these charges and that this trial not be postponed any further.
