The death displays of Golden Retriever caused change in dog policy in Waupun

Waupun, Wis. – The city of Chester has committed a new contract in which Streuner dogs were found in their community after the death of a golden retriever, which some considered inhumane. Lost dogs found in the small rural community are now brought to the Waupun Area animal shelter.

The change in politics takes place after Richard van Buren, who served as the chairman of the city of Chester, has been inhumane to have killed a stray golden retriever. Van Buren appeared in court on June 20 and faced a count of the abuse of animals that led to death.

Van Buren died on July 2 due to complications during the operation and the indictment were dropped.

Dog lovers in the nearby municipality of Waupun were relieved about changing politics. Kathy Sayles and Jana Vaskuil, who regularly meet in a local dog park, shared their thoughts about the situation.

“We just try to do better for everyone,” said Sayles. “This community contracts to make it better for everyone.”

Sayles and Vaskuil treat their animals like part of the family and were shocked when they heard about the allegations against Van Buren. They were equally shocked when they had learned about his death and showed compassion for his family.

“It's just an incredible fact,” said Sayles. “I can't believe that it happened at all. And then find out that the family also has to mourn the loss of the man.”

“If one of our dogs happened, we would be destroyed,” said Vaskuil. “But we would also be there for the support for each other.”

The board of the city of Chester signed a new contract with the Waupun Area animal shelter to cope with future stray animals.

“The shelter is very, very good,” said Sayles. “You will take care of these animals, take them in, make them healthy and then adopt them.”

Both women said it was time for the community to move forward, to support each other and heal each other.
