I wouldn't have if you hadn't let me know about this. Everytime

I think of those poor creatures be DROPPED down a chute, I feel

faint. One of the letters says that they usually break their legs and

are left like that for a few days. They go every few days to euthanize

them but in the meantime, they are left in that condition. Is this too

hard to comprehend?

Thanks again,

I hope it helps..I also got the wolf dog rescue people involved and some

other animal organizations. Made them aware of the situation and they said

they would get right on it...thanks to wolfrunning and other friends. I

have seven dogs of my own and five cats. Big country buff...lol....but

three are going to the wolf reserve this winter. They were dumped off here

and it is sad when people find out how much work really goes into these

beautiful animals. I for one can't keep them because it is illegal. The

only thing that saves my butt is that they are mixed breed and they will be

going to a good home. Sadly she can't be returned to the wild cause she will

be killed so her and her pups will be going to a good home with someone in

the wolf reserve group. This tears my heart apart to think of all these

beautiful innocent cats and dogs and other animals just being disposed of

like that and so cruely. But animals deserve to be happy too.

Hi Marleen,

I am so happy that you got involved!!! You know so many of the " right "

people to contact to get things done! Please add my e-mail address to

your list, so that you can contact me when you need my help.

Gratefully, Joan Starkman

Hi Marleen,

You can count on me to gather as many signatures as I can. I don't

think I will be up to standing in front of PetSmart, but I do have a shower

to attend on the 15th and I will get as many signatures then as I can. I

printed out the petition with the picture as I think it will really make a

more moving display. Now if a petition comes out for Burrascano, I will

kill two birds with one stone. Way to go Joan, you really did a great job

notifying us of this travesty. PS: I'd really like to get a hold of those

horrible people who dump their animals too.

Hugs,

Marta NJ

Hey Guys,

Wonder why the media hasn't covered this one? Someone should notify

HardCopy or Inside Edition, I know they have covered similar type stories

about animals, and they could even get a call-in type petition.

THANKS Marta! If everyone could do that, just spend a day at a social

event, it would really add up. Then they finished petitions can be faxed or

scanned (if anyone ever figures out how to do that!!!!) or snail mailed to

me, then I'm going to FedEx them all down to TN for the rally.

Speaking of a petition for Doctor B --- why not? Why not get one going?

I don't know how to do that online but doesn't Magic from the NG do things

like that?

Yeah, they saved that male Akita years ago from being put to death.

Hmmmm!
