OSSIPEE — A fourth Great Dane being held in the custody of the Humane Society of the United States during the animal cruelty court case of Christina Fay has died, according to Fay's attorneys.

The case began last June, when police and members of the Humane Society of the United States seized the dogs from locations in Wolfeboro and Bartlett. The Conway Area Humane Society received another nine prior to the seizure.

As these types of animal rights activists groups profess to "save" animals, it sure seems that maybe this "horrible" breeder knew more than they did. without any type of "over site" on these groups they are being allowed to steal animals because THEY believe they were abused. what is wrong with this picture? https://imageevent.com/illegalrescues/legislationforall

Dogs dying like this is NOT normal. Great Danes need special care. The HSUS is not qualified to care for these dogs as seen by the death of a fourth dog in a very short amount of time At least release the dogs to an organization that will not cause them to die like flies. Any good Great Dane rescue should be able to care for them. I would gladly donate if this were the case until the dogs can go home. The HSUS deserves not one single dime and the director's statement that "more would be dead" is disgusting and wrong. I would bet that these dogs would still be alive if in the owners care
