A petition has been started on the Care2 Network to Ed Rendell, the Governor of Pennsylvania, to pardon an Altoona woman who was charged in December 2007 for trying to help a dying dog.
Tammy Grimes is the founder of Dogs Deserve Better, and she was called to help a dog that was chained up and neglected in someone's back yard. After several calls to the humane society went unanswered, she decided to take the dying dog off the property and get it much-needed veterinary care. As a result, she was charged for theft and receiving stolen property, and the owners of the dog went unpunished.
Please take a moment to sign the petition, but don't stop there. Forward it to anyone who you think would sign it.
