Judge Robert Lane is deciding the custody of almost 300 mostly Caucasian shepherds confiscated from what has been deemed horrific living conditions in Amargosa and Pahrump by Nye County Sheriff’s Office Deputies and Animal Control Officers. The complaints over these animals have been going on for many years. The smell, the abuse, the dead dogs being reported by neighbors and even a postal carrier. In fact, even one of the officers said that the care taker Oksana Higgins was attempting to cover up missing feet from the animals as they inspected the animals on the property by kicking dirt onto the foot area of the animal.
