We can't help but wonder if the bad press over the porcupine dogs had anything to do with Halligan quitting or being fired. Halligan badly blew it when she got the son-in-law to lie right in front of Kelly Cook.

Also, the dogs were clearly fat and happy. And it was her staff who refused any help when the family begged as fast as they could----not any bloody 30 hours later as the SPCA said.

Possibly thanks to Kelly Cook being unafraid to do the right thing, Halligan is gone, but the family will never recover from their nightmare and who knows what will become of the dogs who were happy and loved where they were and now are with strangers who may pass them on to who knows where? If we were the family we would sue the SPCA to get them back.
