A few days ago we posted a story about Libre, the mangy, maggot-infested puppy that came to Speranza Animal Rescue, giving him his best shot at survival.  In what can only be described as an asinine decision, the Lancaster County SPCA has stated that they cannot prove this puppy was being mistreated by the breeder.  However, Libre is doing much better, and is now drinking water on his own.

According to ABC 27 News, SPCA director Susan Martin said, “it cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the breeder intended to harm the puppy or willingly neglected to care for him.”
