It was reported during the March 25 hearing that Mrs. Greer refused to accept regis tered mail and the County Sheriff had served papers on a civil complaint. Mr. and Mrs. Greer were not present during the hearing and Judge McEIIigott set the hearing over until Wednesday, April 1 to give them an opportunity to appear. On April 1 Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Greer appeared before Morrow County Court In the company of an attorney, Steve Trukositz. Trukositz stated that the hearing was a violation of due process on the grounds that the Greers were not given sufficient notice of the com plaints or of the hearing of March 25. Trukositz also stated that he had been out of town until Monday. March 30. and had not had enough time to gather a defense. , He further stated that he would not object to the present hearing as long as it was to be held as an informal fact-finding meeting. The court agreed. During the informal ques tioning of the April 1 hearing. Mrs. Greer was called to the stand. Mrs. Greer stated that she and her husband have been caring for the dogs because the state and county do not have a proper place in the area to keep them. Greer explained that Stokes Landing Humane Society is funded by donations and that all the help is volunteer. Mrs. Greer testified that in September 1980. County Sher iff Larry Fetsch asked her to take in a stray labrador which was pregnant. The pups were given away. Sheriff Fetsch continued to refer people to her who had stray dogs, she says. Upon questioning, Greer stated that dogs which have had to be destroyed have been shot because of the cost of putting them to sleep. Cur rently Mrs. Greer's son has been destroying them, using his own gun and ammunition. No one else is willing to do the job. she says. No fees are paid for destroy ing the dogs, she stated in response to a report made during the March 25 hearing. Greer estimated that 4 to 25 dogs are destroyed per month. They are then buried in the wildlife refuge. No money is made from the service, Greer said, but the Humane Society is currently trying to raise money for a . permanent shelter. After a brief recess, the decision of the court was for Mrs. Greer to keep the dogs confined at all times until the final hearing of Wednesday, April 8.
