Piper news?

I read someplace that there is another lawsuit going on against Penny - she took credit and debit cards from a dying friend that did not belong to her and made charges or withdrawals with them.

There was a part where the son of the person she filched from went to her house to confront her (with police) and there were 10 dogs in the yard and the house was filled with feces and urine. The dogs were living in deplorable conditions. If Piper was living in conditions such as those, I am totally not surprised that she is having skin issues.

I have heard that too. Many of the Bring Piper Home supporters are hoping she is put away for this and that would put an end to the Piper situation.
 
This weekend I sent a word of encouragement to Veronica regarding showing some dogs. In reference to Piper and her return and condition, I relayed to her the time my ex put our show cat up for sale because his new fiancee demanded it so I paid a lot to buy him out to return the cat to me. The cat was in deplorable condition but with 6 months of super care he recovered and I returned the cat to the ring. That amazing prodigal son victory is one of the sweetest I have ever felt. Her response pained me enough to share. She stated that while she has Piper now, the other side keeps appealing and she is worried she may lose in the end because she doesn't have the funds to keep the fight going.

The thought of Piper being taken away . . . the thought of the precedent that will set that a rescue could take/keep your animal from you . . . well, this battle affects every pet owner in this country.

Let's just say I added my support because what if it were me?

Does anyone understand what the motion for stay that was filed last week was trying to argue? I tried reading it, but my legal knowledge is limited.

This was filed 8/6/15

IANAL, but ... and i've been following this from the beginning ... this is my take on the appeal.

What the motion claims is that the court issued a final order of possession in favor of the Plaintiffs (Veronica Covatch) original petition even though defendants (COSR/Sanderbeck) filed a counterclaim, which they claim was never allowed to be presented.

The motion is asking that this now be heard by the court of appeals and the municipal court no longer can make any ruling on the original case.

The problem with this motion is that a ruling was never made in any case before the court. All the judge did on the 23rd was let Piper go home. The August 27th date is to hear the actual case (hopefully in it's entirety and to completion.) Since no ruling was made, there's nothing to appeal.

It seems like everything else with COSR's legal wranglings this is meant to drag the case out and confuse the issues. Most likely with the intent of exhausting their opponents' resources or wearing them down until they give up.

IMO, they have the legal right to make the motion even though they are doing it improperly. It's up to the courts now to reject it (again).

It's actually VERY similar to tactics used in divorce litigation where custody of children is used as leverage. In those cases, the court must decide not on the letter of the law, but what they perceive as being the best interest of the child. Hopefully this applies here, as demonstrated by the Judge returning Piper to Veronica.

My question is, if Veronica is out of resources to continue, how the heck is COSR able to afford it? The expenses must be comparable on both sides.

COSR's attorney is working pro bono. Many suspect that he's being paid by AR organizations to take on the case.
 
It smells like PETA or one of the other AR orgs. with deep pockets. Even though the attorney is working Pro Bono there are still all kinds of court filing fees and they aren't cheap. Someone is throwing money at this.
 
I know there was a link somewhere to donate to help offset the enormous cost Piper's mom is facing. Does anyone know whether that link is still up, and what it is?
 
Piperslegacy, website, has links to support the case. Or if you go on Bring Piper Home FB page, there is a button to donate. There is also another auction in the works.
