On September 3rd a dog went missing in Lithuania, Kretinga. While the owners were looking for the dog, they heard barking coming from a building near by. They managed to look through the window and saw that their dog and many others are trapped in cages. There were around 18 dogs. Since the door wasn’t locked, they went inside to get their dog. Most dogs were in small cages, some of them didn’t even fit to fully stand up. There was no food or water for dogs, you could smell poop and pee. Some of them looked ill, were covered in blood. Dogs were dirty, trapped in cages, surrounded by their own feces. Since some of the dogs were puppies, it’s definitely a puppy mill, the woman was selling them on the internet as breed puppies. Police were called, but couldn’t help with anything. Next day a group of people went to that place with police and media. After 6 hours of negotiations, they managed to get the dogs from that woman. But even then, some of the dogs were missing from the day before. She either moved them to a different place or simply killed them. By the Lithuanian law she wasn’t doing anything bad and condition of the dogs were good(even though they were not fed, had no water and was sitting in their on feces). All of the dogs went to a shelter. Most of them are microchipped under different names, meaning they don’t belong to that woman( her name is Inga Auryliene) and that they are stolen. She was stealing dogs, keeping them in cages and breeding in such a horrible conditions. People were sure that she has more places, so they were tracking her. Later that night they saw a van, with no lights, taking dogs from some shed in the forest and driving away. The woman, Inga Auryliene, managed to lose her phone there. After people went to check out that shed, they found even more dogs in even more disgusting conditions. They also found that woman’s phone with messages about stealing dogs. The shelter was called in and took all of dogs.  Throughout 48hours hundreds of volunteers have started looking for the other sheds around the country and found many more while at the same time the horrible woman was trying to move the dogs, hide them and even burned some of them alive! Yes, you read that right!!! Volunteers found fresh remains around those areas. Around 200 dogs have now been found and it’s not stopping, it is believed that some dogs could be stoled from Ireland too. The worst part about this story is that no one is talking about this, no media coverage, no government action is taken. Later people find out that she’s been breeding like this from 2006. In 2014 there was a scandal, dogs were taken from her, but since she didn’t get any punishment, she kept doing the same. Lithuanian people are trying to get coverage from foreign countries as our own government doesn’t care that people like Inga Auryliene are abusing dogs. The State Food and Veterinary Service (SFVS) don’t think that conditions were bad. If we won’t get coverage from other countries, this case will die, Inga Auryliene will get a small fine and will still abuse and breed dogs in such awful conditions. We need a change in our laws, to protect animals, not go against them. At the moment all the dogs that police allows to take (you can’t take them unless the police says you can) are going to shelters that don’t have enough food and funds to feed them, clean them and get them the right medical help. Please help us ❤️

Money will be split between a few shelters.
