TO KILL OR NOT TO KILL

[Duchess]

Huh? Something doesn't sound right.

Here's the story I read. I'd like to know a little more too -

Lay, a Dearborn County, IN, woman who died a few days ago, gave Bella, her healthy German shepherd, a death sentence in her final will. Her attorney, Doug Denmure told WFIE-TV in Evansville, IN, that Lay offered several options about what should happen to the dog after she died, but the dog joining her eternity was the most practical.

He didn’t spell out the other options.

The scenario has set up a howl among animal welfare advocates, who are racing against a ticking clock to spare Bella’s life, scheduled to end sometime Tuesday.

Concerned animal lovers are posting on Facebook and asking PAWS of Dearborn County to use its sway to obtain a stay of execution.

On Facebook, Bella’s allies are suggesting that Bella could suddenly run away, or that the attorney could simply ignore the dead woman’s wishes. Volunteers at the shelter describe Bella as smart, well-trained and sweet. They want to give her a good home, but Denmure says his hands are tied.
