By SCOTT DAUGHERTY, Staff Writer

Six of her dogs starved to death last year.

While the amateur dog breeder from Glen Burnie stayed with her new boyfriend in Harford County and took trips to New York, she left the five Great Danes and one German Shepherd in cages without food or water.

And when friends and neighbors offered to help Kelly Lynn Schreck, 28, care for the dogs, she turned them down - telling some she had sold the dogs.

91 dogs, 49 of which were Great Danes with neglected, starved and living admist their own feces. Mastermind was Antonia "Angel" White...who I believed walked away scott free, by the way the temperature that day was 119 degrees and of course their was no air-conditioner, the poor animals were "Hoarded" as a means for Miss White to make money. They lived in a makeshift depleated/deteriorating barn. You can look it up on the computer. Crissy Tatum, Annpolis, MD

there is a special place in hell for people who abuse animals. Shame on her and shame on everyone connected to her. The judge did not give her a harsh enough sentance. She should have gotten life..without food or water.

I cant believe the nerve of some people. I think Mr. Schreck is just as guilty as the Mrs. They should both have the same sentence. How can someone stay in a home for a week with decaying animals and not notice it. What comes around goes around and God will make sure that in the end they will get everything they deserve!
