Your state has a fairly decent animal cruelty statute, and it's 5511 under Title 18, Crimes and Offenses. In part it states:

"(c) Cruelty to animals.--A person commits a summary offense if he wantonly or cruelly illtreats, overloads, beats, otherwise abuses any animal, or neglects any animal as to which he has a duty of care, whether belonging to himself or otherwise, or abandons any animal, or deprives any animal of necessary sustenance, drink, shelter or veterinary care, or access to clean and sanitary shelter which will protect the animal against inclement weather and preserve the animal'S body heat and keep it dry. This subsection shall not apply to activity undertaken in normal agricultural operation."

I would say she's in violation of the "abandons any animal" with the dumping on other farms, and the "deprives any animal...veterinary care" portions.

When Shadow comes back, report her ass. Oh, first, go back and take some pictures. Cops love pictures. Or, cops hate pictures (when you show them to their boss and ask why they didn't do anything about it). I'm just sayin'...
