Kentucky House of Horrors - Fuels Long Island Retail Rescue

  There is a huge divide in society today between experienced animal owners and breeders and s/urbanites. They don't understand farming, zoos,   aquariums or pet breeding. They willingly believe any sob story or activist video sent their way.

Some understand the divide when it comes to getting food on their plates.  As a result, farmers are now taking to social media to show the public the truth about farming. 

The big elephant in the living room that no one sees are the massive cult of personalities that develop around hideously abusive retail rescues run by con artists. I've written extensively recently about the huge cult of personality developed around This Is Houston that uses rescue porn to rake in massive amounts of money.  These groups want you to believe that only if YOU give them money, can they save the mangled deathbed roadkill dogs they collect from the Texas/Mexico border.  

Texas is a massive importer of sick and diseased foreign bred dogs, largely from Mexico that are then shipped all over America for resale. There are smugglers that make a living off illegal trafficking, not humans but dogs, because dogs are more lucrative and easier to traffic. Besides parasites and contagious diseases, many of these dogs are temperamentally unsuited for pet homes. 

Some Retail Rescues across America have purchased their own properties in Texas to stage the product they are shipping to their home base for resale.  One of these is Diane Rose Indelicato who runs Ruff House Rescue in New York.  Indelicato has rescue mill warehouses in Texas, Kentucky (and allegedly South Carolina) that all funnel dogs to her retail sales outlets in Long Island, New York. 

Concerned citizens after seeing the hellhole that is her Texas property and seeing Parvo and Distemper affected puppies shipped from Texas to New York for resale (illegal!), complained to local authorities in 2020. Authorities investigated and her Texas 'kennel' failed the inspection.  

Authorities found 270 dogs stuffed into 120 filthy kennels without proper shade or clean food in the blazing Texas heat.  Let's not forget the ground itself is contaminated with Parvo and Distemper from her outbreaks.  She was put on a 3 month probation and ordered to not bring any new dogs onto the property until she cleaned it up and passed inspection. 

Meanwhile.....   

Her Kentucky partner, David Howery, has recently been busted for the second time, after being charged with 25 counts of animal cruelty for keeping animals in horrific conditions without food, water or electricity.  That's right!  NO electricity!  

Authorities ended up seizing 100 animals.  

Detectives later learned Howery had an outstanding bench warrant from a previous cruelty to animals conviction in Adair County, Kentucky. Detectives and animal control went to speak to Howery and arrest him on his outstanding warrant.

He was previously charged with 295 counts of animal cruelty in 2009 after local authorities found 350 animals being kept in filthy conditions.  

The facility was filthy, with feces everywhere; there were about 25 dead dogs in cages or piled behind the building, and six dead goats in the same room with 10 live ones, McCloud said in a complaint.

He has now finally been sentenced to one year in jail.  

As for Diane Indelicato herself, she's wanted on a warrant out of Texas and numerous people have spoken out about the conditions she keeps dogs in at her Texas and New York properties.

As you can expect Indelicato has some impressive Google Trophies.

Why should she care about some piddling Texas warrant when she was charged with criminal possession of stolen property way back in 2010?

Or when she was sued in 2011 when one of her vicious 'rescue' dogs mauled a 3-year-old?  She was sued again when another one of her vicious 'rescue' dogs mauled an 80-year-old woman in 2012.

When anyone speaks up and tries to expose these con artists, they get attacked by deluded gullible people who are part of these cults of personality.  Facts don't matter.  They wail and moan all over social media that dogs will DIE if cons like Indelicato are stopped.  They cry that no matter how inhumane the conditions may be, "it's better than where the dogs came from."  Really?  What proof do you have of that?

Who exactly is this person that makes endless excuses for con artists?  Meet Debbie Brostoff-Laykind, a long time employee of the Plainview-Old Bethpage School District.  She claims to be a Ruff House volunteer for over 5 years.  In Debbie's mind Indelicato can do no wrong and all of us who object to animal cruelty, well WE are the ones that are wrong.  Do you want a woman like this involved in your child's education?  It's no surprise that her environmentalist NYC lawyer "I wanna be a Judge" husband is the Water District Commissioner while they live in a 2,549 sq. ft. million dollar Long Island home.   

It's people like this in positions of influence that are the reason America is in the straights it is today.  

I hate to break this to you Debbie, but adopting IS shopping.  You are nothing more than a retailer of 2nd hand dogs.  That's all you are.  This does not make you more special than anyone else.  This does not make you a 'good person.'  

"If ‘adopting’ a shelter dog makes you feel ‘better about yourself’, you don’t need a dog. You need a therapist." Jay Kitchener

Debbie Laykind thinks she's so much better than you that she attacks people who speak out about Ruff House.

Poor Debbie, she just can't handle the fact that she's been had.  She's not the only one.  

Meanwhile you may ask yourself why do Retail Rescue's like Ruff House do it?   

They do it for the CASH.  Retail Rescue is highly lucrative.  HIGHLY.  Here's what some had to say about Ruff House. 

 

You can act to stop these situations.  First, do not give them money!   It's common for Retail Rescue to purchase houses, businesses and properties for all cash sales with your 'donations.'  Trace their cash flow BEFORE you donate.  

Second, report them to the USDA for not only their conditions but the illegal shipment of sick dogs over state lines.  Report Ruff House using the USDA's online complaint form.  

Report them to state and local authorities.  Many people have reported Ruff House to New York authorities but they are covering for her.  Don't let them get away with it!  Continue filing complaints!  Ruff House's transporter Luisa Montalvo has also recently been charged for leaving a paralyzed dog in freezing temperatures overnight in her transport van.  

It does not matter where you are, you can still contact local authorities and complain about what they are allowing to continue in their community.

You can also file complaints with all state authorities in New York and Texas that oversee animal rescues.  The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets requires that all dogs imported into New York have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) proving they are free and clear of any infectious or communicable diseases or parasites.  Not a single dog should be resold by Ruff House that has ANY parasites or diseases.  It is illegal.  If you bought a dog that was sick, REPORT them.  Stop excusing them and giving them a free pass.  

Situations like this will never end until people speak up and hold officials accountable for giving 'rescue' a free pass.
