LAPD Admits They May Have Made A Mistake In Ellen's Dog Case
The police are now saying that they may have made a mistake in letting Marina Batkis leave with Iggy the dog. In the video shown here on TMZ, law enforcement now admits that there should have been a different resolution. It all came down to the microchip. Had Marina changed the microchip when she should have, the police would have been able to enforce the status quo....which basically means that Iggy could have stayed at the home of the hairdresser while the parties concerned figured out a resolution. The policeman tried to negotiate a peaceful resolution to this without removing the dog, as you see on the video. Not knowing everything that Mutts and Moms was involved with doing, I think he was doing the best he could to make a decision based on the information he had available to him.
And the video also shows someone running out of what is assumed to be Marina's home with a dog under her shirt (I put an arrow pointing to it) and refusing to say what is going on. Iggy?
The contract Marina is trying to hold Ellen to may be void anyway, as Mutts and Moms did not have a license at the time this all happened. Plus, she entered the home of the hairdresser under false pretenses, asking the family to fill out an app and saying she was coming to do a home inspection, only to swoop in, scoop up the dog, and refuse to put him down...just to take him back and put him in a cage.
You can read the entire series of posts I've written on this saga here.
This woman appears to be an obsessive control-freak with a form of animal hoarding who is more interested in her rules and regulations and steel-trap applications than she is about taking care of dogs. I wonder just how many dogs she has living at her home in a residential area? And how many do live in cages? I'd love to see photos, before she gets around to changing them all about. There is help available for people like this, but they have to want it...if this is what they are, they have to be willing to change. Until they do, the animals will suffer.
