Singing the Antioch Blues

Apr 29, 2010 19:21

I spent the day working, fuming, and trying to get over the Antioch shelter debacle. In pit bull rescue, I see plenty of bad things. This one hurt me deep into my soul - you know the sort of howling hurt you save for important things like death and tax bills. I will survive. Which is more than I can say for Mona and Mary Jane. May they rest in ( Read more... )

At the risk of derailing (if so, pls delete), I'd like to widen the warning to include ANY 'shelter', even non-government ones, even 'no-kill shelters.'

What some of the 'no-kill shelters' do, is have a separate section for animals that they actually put on 'no-kill, keep indefinitely' status. Other animals "have lower priority to be maintained."

And, some 'no-kill' shelters, when full, instead of telling people they are full, continue accepting animals -- and sending some of them to 'shelters' that do kill.

It's all true. It's got to change.

Thanks for continuing to keep us posted. I'll continue to spread the word about these horrible, despicable people.

My righteous indignation has not been quelled. I'm calling these bastards again today.

You know, this is the same place where they couldn't find an abducted child for almost twenty years, right?

Yeah, that town.

Yep. It's disgusting! They can't find poor Jaycee Dugard for 18 years then the animals have no hope.

I, uh, pushed this out to Twitter. The President of the SPCA here in Los Angeles responded (spcaLAPresident). She advises that you go to the Animal Legal Defense Fund - she's a very nice lady, so I won't put profanity in her mouth.

But getting her attention is not easy. This got it, and kept it.

I am so sorry.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that and I will follow up on this.

You are awesome :) Thanks again.
