WHY WOULD SHE LEAVE THEM IN A BOX WITH HER NAME AND ADDRESS? SHE NEEDS HELP IF SHE REALLY DID THIS AND I HOPE SHE GETS THE MAX. TIME IN PRISON ALONG WITH FINES. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE PEOPLE CAN BE SO CRUEL.

Absolutely disgusting how society can simply think that they can throw away pets; even though laws are getting much more strict, they are simply to lenient. If she is responsible for the deaths, she needs to spend the rest of her life in an institution, as she must be insane!

Does she suffer from a disease that would make her behave this way? I know people get frustrated if a shelter cannot accept animals, but they stated they would, why would she kill them?

That is messed up. Why would she call the SPCA if is was gonna just kill them anyways. I am sure there where many great home that would have taken the puppies. Some people just get to me what it comes to the animals.

Lets hope that she gets a Judge that actually BELIEVES in enforcing and punishing animal cruelty and abuse cases ~ there aren't many of those Judges out there. AND did she have to fill out an adoption application or any source of screening BEFORE adopting the other dog??? Have they - the animal shelter - reclaimed their dog??????

Ashley sounds like a whacko and isn't real bright either. Here in rural Missouri, we get calls frequently relating the animal will be shot if we don't take it in. I view this as terrorism. When there is no room, what do you do? I hope that Ashley gets the max on fines and pays for her act of violence. As for rural Missouri, it seems that the "law" doesn't care.

I have to say this is unbelievable. How can people do this to innocent animals? It's hard to make a decision when obviously there is a lot more information that is not released yet about the situation. When could the shelter take the puppies in? If they could not do it right away, which isn't unheard of, maybe she did do it. If she did do it, I believe that 5 years in prision is definitely not enough, it should be 5 years per animal if she is convicted. Laws for this should be a lot stricter and if a man gets 20 for killing a police dog, this lady should get just as much because an animal is an animal no matter what its label.

unintentional how can puppies just turn up beat up and dead for it to be unintentional? What was she playing with them to ruff? A little old to be doing that. I hope she has a good explanation as to how those puppies got like that. If not I hope she get punished to the full extent of the law.

Tragic. How sad for those puppies. So far, charged, but not convicted. Would be interested in follow up to know the outcome. Someone is dangerous. Hope the story comes out.

What follows is a letter to the woman being charged. Ashley, This article of your sickening actions absolutely outraged me! If what was printed is the truth, and the shelter was going to take in these puppies, why would you beat them to death? And how stupid can you be to leave your name and address on the box in which you dump them? You deserve what you get and probably more so. You are a student in a vet tech program? You should never be allowed to work with or around animals, you should never be allowed to own animals. You gave up your right to do so the moment you laid your hands on these defenseless puppies because you couldn't take care of them or simply didn't want them. Your other dogs should be taken away from you. You should be hauled off to jail for a lengthy prison sentence and you should pay for the REST of your life for what you did to these beautiful creatures. Your face should be plastered all over the news all around the world so that no matter where you go, people will know you as a killer. That's all you are. You should know better. Sincerely, Rachel - An animal lover for life

I am not really sure I even know how to comment on this story - if she did not do this then why didn't she prevent it. What type of person allows something like this to happen

She must be a pet lover if she has other dogs, even one adopted from a shelter. This doesn't make sense. Maybe a boyfriend did them in? I'd like to hear her explanation. What a tragedy.

If this woman did this, then she's not very bright, either. After all, the box had her name and address on it.

Per felony count means for each puppy. However, people rarely receive the maximum sentence.

This woman needs some kind of metal health care. I can't understand how people can hurt animals in such a manner. Unfortunately, it happens far too often.

Statistically, people who abuse animals move on to abuse children and other people who are weaker than they are.

They say she does part time work at the university's veterinary teaching hospital and even has a dog she adopted. How could someone like that kill thoughs puppies? I'm not a mind reader or anything of the sort and I have no clue what REALLY happened, but something doesn't sound right.

I would imagine it wouldn't do any good to fine her as she probably doesn't have the money with a clerical job. I do hope she gets the time she deserves.

yeah, why would someone who wants to go into a career with animals and someone who called to surrender them kill them and in such a gruesome,terrible way? What kind of a person could even hurt a puppy?I don't understand it.

It doesn't make sense to me either but since I work at a shelter, I've seen and heard everything. People do unbelievable things so I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens with this case.

This case needs more evidence; can't we get any CSI's on things like this?
I don't know if she did it or not, but WHO in their right mind would do something like this? It's baby killing! I mean, that's a life. That's seven lives!

I'm interested to find out what happens with this case. I would wager to guess that she didn't do this herself, but who knows. Anything is possible!

I agree. Maybe she has a sick boyfriend and she was trying to save the puppies and he caught her and killed the puppies.

Something with this story doesnt make sense, why would she called to surrender the dogs and they told here yes then turn around a kill them. That really doesnt make sense. It seems like she was holding the dog til she got them to the shelter and someone else killed them.

I agree with some of the earlier posters. We should hear the rest of this and the explanation to what happened. Seems like she had already found a solution, so what would me the motivation for killing the puppies? I don't think we know everything yet. Remember, innocent until proven guilty.

I agree. There is more to this story. If the evidence points to her, then I hope she is found guilty, but based on the information in the article, there is reason to believe that someone else may have done this.

"Unintentional" beatings? I hope that if she bludgeoned these poor pups to death she gets convicted of a felony. What a horrific crime.

I think that laws should be harder. People need to know that they just can't get away with it. I do need more info to know if it was here or not but who ever it was needs to pay the price.

Evidence shows that animal abuse leads to more violent abuse on humans. Unless they want to find children in a similar situation, they need to find who is responsible and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Not sure that I could condone behaviour like this for any reason. A 6 or 8 week old puppy is of absolutely no threat to anyone. Anyone who lays a hand on a puppy and hurts them is doing so with negligence. In my humble opinion she deserves whatever sentence she is handed, and whatever fine she is given--hopefully she is given something and not a slap on the hand. There are several resources that the public has to provide and care for stray or unwanted pets and she should have utilized them instead of killing the puppies.

It's difficult to "unintentionally" beat puppies to death. I can only hope that the local animal contraol will remove all the dogs from her home, including the intact female that will likely be used for breeding other puppies.

Penalties for this type of cruelty has got to get more serious. Too many people see living creatures as inanimate objects.

She said it was unintended whatever happened, so does she know what happened? Who made it happen? She had better get to talking and explaining this one. If it wasn't her who was it, they need to be brought to justice. If it was her she needs pay for her crime.

If she did do this to the puppies I want her to have the maximum penalties for her crime. If anyone could do this to an animal has something wrong with them and they deserve to pay for their action just the same as if it was a human she killed!!!!

How can someone who works with animals and rescues animals do something so heartless? This woman should get the maximum penalty. If she couldn't care for these puppies, she should have surrendered them or have them humanely put down.

Lock her up and throw away the keys. If she is mean enough to do this to dogs what is she capable of doing to humans.
