		<description><![CDATA[Politics, thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right!!! I have been wondering why this group is being allowed to do whatever it wants, with nothing but excuses made for them by our county government, even when they don&#039;t obey the laws that they are supposed to enforce on everyone else.

I want to know where all those unadopted dogs are. Stuffed into a barn somewhere or dumped in the woods? If you believe that the buddy for life people have found homes for over 200 dogs in the past year, especially after people heard about the lady who was attacked and her own dog murdered by the Buddy&#039;s vicious dog they dumped on her, then I have a frig in Alaska I&#039;d like to sell you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is fairly obvious, even to the untrained sleuth, that the Buddy for Life group is aligned with Mike Smigiel and uses similar tactics... to achieve a self-serving goal.  It is also obvious the Buddy for Life group uses bully tactics on anyone speaking against their agenda and play off the sympathy of those who love animals to rally for their &quot;cause.&quot;  If the people rallying behind this organization would take off the rose colored glasses and really look at what goes on they might be a little shocked by a forceful smack to the forehead.

Cecil County taxpayers need to unite and stand up against the blatant waste of our hard earned tax dollars and demand answers as to why this has been allowed to continue and why, with each breach of law or contract, the Buddy group is being given inordinate amounts of time to correct procedures that were supposed to be in place prior to obtaining the contract.  And to allow them to operate a year without a license - - that is against the law. 

Also, withholding information about a vicious attack resulting in death to a family pet and injury to the owner (while not properly licensed) invites legal remediation.  We hold the key to ensuring monies are appropriately allocated and elected officials are held accountable -- it&#039;s called your vote!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been following this story and am amazed how this is unraveling. Taxpayer monies used to fund an inexperienced, unlicensed (for one year) and rather deceptive group who appear to have ties with everyone involved.  County Executive Tari Moore who questioned their qualifications last year, now giving them every chance to correct their behavior only to have them continue as before.  I hope the State Board will hold a Buddy for Life to its legal standards and put this mess to rest!]]></description>
