After I read the search warrant I said come on in you won't find anything like that here, Greg said " We are not here searching for anything , we are taking your dogs! I was here earlier and the Prosecuting attorney was with me!" "I said you searched my home without a search warrant?" "Greg Iseli said "I don't need a (search)warrant to search your home, I only need a (search)warrant if I am going to take your dogs! [Continue reading...]

We worked at this shelter longer than the leaders there now. The shelter was always in good shape. We only had four dog Wardens, two animal attendants, a secretary and the Director. Even though we did not have as many employees as They have now. We were open to the public from 8:30 to 4:30 six days a week. We never had distemper outbreaks, because we vaccinated the animals as they were brought in, and kept the place clean. We did not illegally search peoples homes, or illegally seize dogs so there were no civil lawsuits. We euthanized thousands of animals, and never had any animals survive and get thrown away alive. That is so easy to avoid, it makes us mad to hear them say "the animals don't always die" How long did that poor little puppy suffer unnecessarily because of the incompetence of the one euthanizing him. How long was it in the plastic bag? If no one would have noticed him moving he would have been thrown in the garbage truck and smashed to death. That is not a simple thing. does it make you wonder how many animals were smashed to death in the garbage trucks? [Continue reading...]

Attorney: Raid, lawsuits put family in distress
By Olivia Neeley and Corey Friedman | Times Staff Writers
The bills were mounting. The lawsuits wouldn’t stop. The family’s business was ruined. And 53-year-old Joseph Williams had faced an overwhelming sense of pressure in recent months to provide for his wife and children, his attorney said.
"Every time he felt like he was getting ahead, he felt like there was a hurdle he had to cross,” said Williams’s attorney, Will Farris of Farris & Farris in Wilson. "And it caught up with him.”
Police said Tuesday that Williams shot his 10-year-old son Bobby and himself before setting fire to a back bedroom of his Nashville duplex Monday afternoon. Autopsies showed that the man and boy died from gunshot wounds and severe burns, Nashville Police Chief Thomas Bashore said.
"The Nashville Police Department and all emergency responders offer their heartfelt condolences to the family of this tragic event,” Bashore said in a Tuesday evening statement.
Williams and his wife, Cynthia Williams, bred Great Danes at their former home in Wilson County. Sheriff’s deputies raided the property last year and seized more than two dozen dogs, claiming animal cruelty and related violations. A judge threw out the search warrant and dismissed criminal charges against the couple, but their legal troubles continued in a series of lawsuits against two animal rescue groups involved in the raid.
