This Prison of Horrors was owned by Arthur and Starla Snider in McGrew, Nebraska.

According to the court records, when the Sniders moved away they left dogs behind. There were Yorkies and Maltese. The only food they left was horse food for the tiny dogs. We are told that they took 24 dogs with them. The sheriff seized the dogs that were left behind and charged the Snider's with abandonment. They signed over ownership of the dogs. There were cages stacked on top of each other in a trailer. The dogs are in terrible condition - some of the worst we have ever seen. They clearly suffered serious abuse. They have all be debarked. People at auctions in the Midwest have promoted bebarking at several auctions last year. The millers are told that the cheap and easy way to do it is ram a steel rod down the dogs' throats to rupture the vocal cords. Many of these dogs have broken jaws that we assume occurred during the debarking process. The Snider were convicted by the court in Western Nebraska.

Gandhi said that you can judge a society's moral progress by the way they treat their animals -we obviously have a very depraved society.
