Can someone explain to me why this piece of garbage is permitted to have animals OF ANY KIND on his property??? There NEVER should have been a 2nd incident much less a 3rd.

He needs to be incarcerated for the maximum amount of time allowed by law. Never own an animal again and serve a very lengthy probation when he is released.

Put him in a dog pen and treat him like that and see how long he last.

Please, lock him up. Why was he allowed to do this 3x. Do you know how horrific it is for an animal to die from starvation. If there was true justice we would do the same to him

The courts failed all these innocent dogs. Enough is enough.. Greg Robson needs to be thrown in jail for the maximum sentence allowed, given the steepest fine and NEVER allowed to come in contact with another animal again!!!
