Five dogs have been rescued from a life of misery in Laurens, South Carolina. According to multiple sources, authorities, acting on a tip, discovered the dogs living in wooden boxes and on the end of heavy, locked chains, at a residence on Wofford Shoals Road.
The terrible conditions
As reported by Fox Carolina, one dog’s chain was so tightly wound around its neck that the Durbin Creek Fire Department had to be called in to cut it off. None of the dogs had any access to food or water. One dog was running free – apparently after escaping from a chain.
Deputies from the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office also found a note taped to the door from Animal Control – the note was dated Sept. 12 and as of Sept. 14, the agency had not heard from the dogs’ owners.
The arrest
Brandon and Robin Hayes have been arrested and charged with ill treatment of animals. The pair were transported to the Johnson Detention Center.

Why do people have dogs if this is the way they treat them. I hope these POS’s get to sit in jail for awhile and think about what they did!
Do the same to these vile monsters and never allow them out of their cages and no food or water for them. Give them what they gave these dogs. Possibly hunting dogs so they have no value or caring for them. Their faces say it all.
FROM the look on the face of THIS PUTRID SOB !!! HE WILL IMMEDIATELY GO and GET more DOGS to abuse AS soon AS he is released!! Just TO SHOW the authorities TAT THEY AREN”T GOING to TELL HIM WHAT TO DO!!! ONE BELIGERENT SOB and she is HIS WIPPING POST!!!
Until the judges and police get serious about animal abuse it won’t change. We need to build more prisons to house these maggots! That would put a lot of people to work and then give veterans the jobs of supervising the inmates!
These two should be detained in a box, bound with heavy chains without food and water, and placed in the middle of a shelter when the dogs are howling, yapping and barking incessantly. See how they like it and THEN throw them in jail and throw away the keys.
