Cat-n-Scratch

Today I received a wonderful email from a Colorado friend of Maria Daines about Oreo, the dog that was killed by ASPCA!  I will post about that as well in a minute for those whom have not heard the ruckus on FaceBook about it.

Anyway, she sent me this link and I want to share it with you.  As an advocate for the pitbull, I feel it is important for people to remember that we have rights as American Citizens and the government is trying VERY hard to take those rights away from us.  Each year, more laws are put into effect without the American people knowing anything about it.  This MUST stop…….Remember, WE elected them and WE can kick them out of office.  THEY WORK FOR US, not the other way around.

When we don’t watch what our government, local or National, is doing, laws such as BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) are voted on and passed without running by the American people.  It is time we took a stand and reclaimed our rights.  Tell YOUR town, YOUR state, YOUR National Governments that we’re not going to stand by and watch our rights get taken away from us.  Take that stand today.

Here’s a good place to start:  http://www.denverkillsdogs.com/

The city of Des Moines, Iowa wants to kill my dog because he is a pitbull. They think he is a “Vicious Dog” because of his specific breed. Which, in turn, makes him a “Dangerous Animal” and subject to a city ordinance that will allow them to murder my innocent dog.
I have appealed this judgement and must now appear before the city council…but I can’t plead my case, I can’t introduce any new evidence which includes all the letters I’ve collected from my community about what a great dog Mojo is. So my plan is e-mails and mailing pictures and letters to the city council members before the meeting. Thank goodness it’s my civic right to contact them directly. I would appritiate any advice or letters I could send off to them.
Please, I am begging, anyone who cares to write a letter and e-mail it to me so I can send them. I’m hoping this will change her decision to kill Mojo. If they can understand that he has impacted so many people and has so many friends.
I have owned my pit since he was 4 weeks old, he is now 5 years now. My neighbors small dog attacked him and my dog bite him, a warning bite to say the least. No significant injuries, no stitches, and neither dog was on a leash (it happened in the hallway of my apartment) So now they want to destroy my dog because my neighbors LIED and said the bite was unprovoked.
I am working on getting an attorney but right now I’m writing, making phone calls, e-mailing, and begging for help.
HELP ME SHED THE LIGHT All I need is just two sentences, two paragraphs ANYTHING!!!
*Just state your name
*How you know Mojo and I
*What your experiences have been with him-his manners, whatever…
*And why you feel he shouldn’t be killed
*E-mail to shannon84simmons@gmail.com
He has been in the pound for a month now.They won’t let me see him and I know he is so scared! They don’t walk him, he has an automatic feeder and the only time they take him out is to clean the tiny kennel. That’s the only social interaction he has! He belongs on my couch, taking a nap!
PLEASE HELP ME BRING MY DOG HOME!!!!! HIS LIFE IS IN OUR HANDS

Well, Denver did it again, folks!  Only this time they broke a fence to get to the dog to STEAL it, then returned the dog, threatening to euthanize him due to his characteristics of a Pit Bull.  THEN they busted in on this poor woman with guns and brute force over a DOG THAT DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Help The Pawz Cauze and ROVERlution convince Denver to drop their Pit Bull Ban and begin punishing the DEED not the BREED!  Below you will find the email addresses to the Denver city officials.  Thank you for your help.

Also joining us today was Richard Weber, our resident Animal Astrologer.  Time sure flew by as we discussed Jazz with my new friend “Purple Jack”, as well as did readings for our newest born kittens so we can do a write up about their personalities for anyone interested in adopting them when they are ready.

Mark your calanders because Richard will be back with us on November 1, 2008.  If you want us to discuss your pet then we need the name of your pet as well as the Month, Day and year your pet was born.  For a more accurate reading we would need the time, town, and state or country the animal was born in.  Also to compare your compatability with your pet, we will need your month, day, year, time, town, state or country of your birth.  You can join us by calling our show’s number during the time the show is live or you can join me in the chat room at www.radiogetswild.com and click on the “chat room” button to enter the chat room.  You can also reach me during the show by using Yahoo Messenger ID rgwonair.

 Protest to free Forrest: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Once again the spotlight is on Denver, Colorado, Forrest the dog held captive, and his owner, Chris; an innocent man who thinks of his dog as his ’son’.  Join us as DJ Ice speaks with Dr. Paula Terifaj and Chris LIVE at the protest.  Hear as Chris tells his chilling tale of how Forrest was stolen the first time he ended up across the Denver city line and how DENVER forced him to keep his dog locked in a kennel.  Now Denver is holding the dog and threatening to euthanize him over the Breed Ban Legislation they passed several years ago that has since resulted in the deaths of hundreds of family pets only because they were guilty of being the wrong breed.  Forrest has never hurt anyone.  Chris doesn’t even reside in Denver.  His place of residence is recorded as being in Adams County; yet Denver feels the need to confine this dog and KILL him!

You hear the words, then you make your decision, then take action.  Don’t allow prejudice to win.  Stand up and be heard.  Stand up for Forrest.  Demand that he be returned to Chris.
