Dear God by Terry D. King

Dear God,

God I don’t understand you put me here with unconditional love I thought the most intelligent of your creatures the humans would be the same way.
It all started the day they the people came to take me away; I didn’t want to leave my mom, but she sad I was going to a good home. I was sad, but the little boy seemed to love me and being so tiny I really didn’t have a choice. I arrived at my home and things started out well. The little boy play with me all the time, my belly was full, and I had a warm bed. Then my world fell apart. The little boy had something called a birthday and got this new toy called a play station. He spent all his time playing it and when I tried to play with him, he pushed me away. Stupid dog he would say. Then his parents yelled at him to feed me over and over. When he finally did he yelled at me for being so much trouble. Without warning he kicked me across the room. What did I do? All I ever did was love him, I gave him kisses when he got in trouble, and laid beside him on the bed as he cried.
God, I didn’t mean to pee on the carpet. I tried to tell everybody and I was ignored.
So now here I am tried to a tree and it so very hot. I’m starving and I haven’t been fed in days. The boy’s parents yell him to feed me and he says that he does, but I haven’t seen him in days. The Last time he fed me, he poured half the bag of food on the ground and said you better make it last. Then this big dog came out of the woods and started eating my food. I thought hey a new friend, but when I went over to greet him he knocked me to the ground and held me by the throat. I ran away yelping and watched as he devoured all my food. My water almost gone now and it taste funny because of the green stuff growing in the bottom. Maybe if I bark they will come to check on me. Well that just got me yelled at. So if I keep doing it maybe they will get the message. Nope now the human next door is fussing at my family about me barking. I would play with my ball, but I can’t reach it anymore. Here comes someone with my dad, he as a shiny tag on his shirt. I hear my dad saying that the boy just not ready for a pet and that this man can find me a new home. He just walks away.
The man put me in a cage in the back of the truck and drives away. We arrive at this brick building. When we go inside the smell is so awful, the barking dogs are so loud and now I’m scared to death. The dogs look so lonely and afraid. The nice man puts me in a cage and gives me food and water. Maybe this place is not so bad. Each day people come though and look at us. Sometimes they leave with a dog. Why don’t they pick me? I’m a good dog and would love to play with their children. Everyday the shelter workers come and take dogs to this room and they never come out. I hear people say that are putting them to sleep. That must mean that they are finally going somewhere to get some rest from all this barking. Here she comes, my friend that plays with me everyday. She says she sorry but my time is up. We go to the room where all my other friends disappeared. As she standing there holding me I feel her warm tears hitting my head and I look up and lick them from her face. The person she calls Doctor comes in and they place me on the table. The Doctor pulls up some pink stuff and the little girl olds my leg. The Dr. sticks me with the needle and puts the pink stuff in my leg. My little friend picks me up and goes and sits with me in the floor, crying uncontrollably now. As the room goes dark, the last words I hear are I’m sorry and you are going to a better place.
Where am I, the light is so bright. Is that you God? This is such a beautiful place. Where are we going? As we cross this bridge I see dogs everywhere running, playing and splashing in the cool creek. The cats are even playing with the dogs and there is no fighting. Then I see her my friend the pit bull, She looks so much better all her scars and sores are gone. She is so happy that she doesn’t have live as a bait dog anymore. Thank you God for saving her because she could never find a home after all she had been through. Is that my favorite ball? God, would it be all right if I go play now.
God said, “Yes my child you are finally home and you never have to worry about anything again.”

ALERT: Save Iditarod dogs from horrific cruelty – WRITE *Alaska veterinarian says mushers crack ribs, break jaws or skulls:

Please send protest emails and forward this alert widely.

From the Sled Dog Action Coalition, http://www.helpsleddogs.org

Sled dog puppies may die in the Iditarod or during training.

Contact information, blocks of email addresses and sample letter are below.

Please help end the horrific treatment of dogs by sending protest emails to organizations that support the Iditarod. Six dogs died in the 2009 race, including two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer’s team who froze to death in the brutally cold winds. What happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the most!), bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains.

During training runs, Iditarod dogs have been killed by moose, snowmachines, and various motor vehicles, including a semi tractor and an ATV. They have died from drowning, heart attacks and being strangled in harnesses. Dogs have also been injured while training. They have been gashed, quilled by porcupines, bitten in dog fights, and had broken bones, and torn muscles and tendons. Most dog deaths and injuries during training aren’t even reported.

Dog beatings and whippings are common. During the 2007 Iditarod, eyewitnesses reported that musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and beat his dogs with a ski pole and a chain. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, “A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective.” He also said, “It is a common training device in use among dog mushers…”

Iditarod dog kennels are puppy mills. Mushers breed large numbers of dogs and routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Many dogs who are permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason, are killed with a shot to the head, dragged, drowned or clubbed to death.

Most Internet service providers allow people to send up to 40 email addresses at a time. For your convenience, the addresses have been divided into groups of 40. Please email the first group first. Individual email addresses are given under the sample letter. The groups contain addresses for the 2010 Iditarod sponsors, promoters, and musher sponsors. Email blocks with semicolons and commas are on http://www.helpsleddogsorg/sponsors.htm.

SAMPLE LETTER (Please personalize)

Dear Iditarod Supporter:

For the dogs, the Iditarod dog sled race is a bottomless pit of suffering. Please end your organization’s support of this event. Six dogs died in the 2009 Iditarod, including two dogs on Dr. Lou Packer’s team who froze to death in the brutally cold winds. What happens to the dogs during the Iditarod includes death, paralysis, frostbite (where it hurts the most!), bleeding ulcers, bloody diarrhea, lung damage, pneumonia, ruptured discs, viral diseases, broken bones, torn muscles and tendons and sprains. For more facts, visit the Sled Dog Action Coalition website, http://www.helpsleddogs.org .

During training runs, Iditarod dogs have been killed by moose, snowmachines, and various motor vehicles, including a semi tractor and an ATV. They have died from drowning, heart attacks and being strangled in harnesses. Dogs have also been injured while training. They have been gashed, quilled by porcupines, bitten in dog fights, and had broken bones, and torn muscles and tendons. Most dog deaths and injuries during training aren’t even reported.

Dog beatings and whippings are common. During the 2007 Iditarod, eyewitnesses reported that musher Ramy Brooks kicked, punched and beat his dogs with a ski pole and a chain. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, “Nagging a dog team is cruel and ineffective…A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective.” He also said, “It is a common training device in use among dog mushers…”

Iditarod dog kennels are puppy mills. Mushers breed large numbers of dogs and routinely kill unwanted ones, including puppies. Many dogs who are permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason, including those who have outlived their usefulness, are killed with a shot to the head, dragged, drowned or clubbed to death. “Dogs are clubbed with baseball bats and if they don’t pull are dragged to death in harnesses…..” wrote former Iditarod dog handler Mike Cranford in an article for Alaska’s Bush Blade Newspaper.

Jon Saraceno wrote in his March 3, 2000 column in USA Today, “He [Colonel Tom Classen] confirmed dog beatings and far worse. Like starving dogs to maintain their most advantageous racing weight. Skinning them to make mittens. Or dragging them to their death.”

During the race, veterinarians do not give the dogs physical exams at every checkpoint. Mushers speed through many checkpoints, so the dogs get the briefest visual checks, if that. Instead of pulling sick dogs from the race, veterinarians frequently give them massive doses of antibiotics to keep them running.

Please end your organization’s association with this horrific race.

Sincerely,

It is also killing the people who are trying to stop this, in so many ways! To put an end to all that is wrong…………..

I am just the witness, the messenger. I am just a Cockney rebel, rhyming slang, dirt under my nails and my hairs a mess, I cry,I hurt, am tired too but have stood my ground on this. I speak the Queen’s English in many accents. I love all life! I live in the USA. I love this whole world. And it scars the crap out of me too!.

“THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE CONTROLS THE NATION” George E. Miller II

My letter to President Obama. Posted on the Discusion Board of the ‘WHITE HOUSE’ on Face Book . No time for a spell check on this one, becuse the animals can’t read

Dear Mr President,
There are still many States that are Gassing Animals with Carbon Monoxide. This is a painfull, horrific and slow death, depite what you may have heard or you may not even be aware of. This form of killing unwanted Pets,that have become a throw away item by millions of people, has to stop. For those people who are not of aware of how thier companions, there beloved best friend are being killed becuse they have been lied to is heart breaking to them , us and I am sure to you when you find out what is really going on. The majority of people cannot pay the outragous costs that many Vets are charging, to Euthanise . The cost is up to $80+ and more if it is after hours. This is a horrific tradgedy for the average person, the animals and this great country. Becaue they have been lied to. I will never call these places Shelters……….they are Pounds. They have not earned the respect of the meaning of the word Shelter. It is an insult to the millions of good Shelters across this great Nation. It is an insult to the millions of the good animals rescuers , who work in the trenches, with little to no money, who work tirelessly to end this. The wealth needs to be shared and not funneled to the big orginization. This will never solve the problem, it is not the solution, never has been and never will be.
So I am writting to you Mr President becaue we cannot as individuals stop this. We like you, have jobs, families, trying to live and take care for them and so many other things we do on a daily basis.
HSUS, supports the Gas Chambers
AVMA, supports the Gas Chambers
USDA will not licnece many States for pounds to use Sodium Pentobarbitol
NACA have the training for AC officers to go to Lethal Injection
OSHA Loop hole…….now the Manufacture’s of The Gas Chambers, have inspectors, some cheat and lie……..so that just tied the hands of OSHA
Manufacturers of The Gas Chamber’s………..one that I know of is owened by a DVM!
B Class dealers, who love these out of the way places, so they can cheat, steal people pets and many pets never even get into the front entrance of these pounds………..their ID”S are removed, they are either gassed or taken to reserch labs. This is illegal.
And there are a lot more in the mix of this , corruption, Pit Fighters etc.
Many people in these Gassing Pounds try to get then to change and if they speck out are threatened, told to leave and a lot worse than that too.
I worked here in Clovis NM and it happend to me. Governor Richardson signed into law HB 265 Prohibiting The Gassing Of Cats and Dogs, the ban went into effect on July 19th of this year 2009. I think he is a wonderful man and listened to what the people of New Mexico asked him to do.
Wildlife are also being killed in these Gas Chambers too and I totally undersatand that if that issue had been adressed it would have taken longer to get the Gassing Banned here. So it had to be addressed this way to advance to the next stage. However it is the animals that cannot wait for more debate, more negotations, more arguing about who is right or wrong.
So that is why I am writting to you. To ask you to bring an end to this atrocity that brings shame to this great country…….The United States of America.
Thank you for all that you are doing for this country in such a time of a Global crises.
My gratitude to you always,

God Bless you and your family
And here’s to a Happy New Year, for all that we love

Man gets 10 years for dog fighting

where the hell was this judge when Michael Vick was being sentenced? She would have saved a lot of BS and a “comeback” for his sorry ass. Oh wait, that’s right, Vick never plead guilty to animal cruelty he plead not guilty. He served his time for “racketeering” never for animal cruelty. I really wish this judge could have gotten him. Maybe those idolizing and “supporting” him would think twice.

Sammy at Noah’s Ark Rescue

God bless Sammy. What a beautiful and sweet boy. It always amazes me how a dog can be beaten and tortured and still love like nothing ever happened. I wish Sammy a very happy life and a big THANK YOU to his rescuers.

Animals In High Point NC have NO rights

You want to know what really pisses me off? The fact that law enforcement was shown proof of animal abuse and they did absolutely NOTHING about it. Then when they finally made their move they arrest the wrong guy. WTF?????? The sad part is God only knows what happened to this terrified pit bull who has ultimately been given a bad name because of his breed and what’s worse is the son of a bitch who was hitting him and slamming him and kicking him is probably still out there doing it to other innocent animals. When is it ever going to stop? When will enough be enough? We as a society are supposed to stand up for the innocent, animals and children alike. But why won’t authorities be bothered? I bet if they did get the right guy they could have gotten him for other things too. What a heartless heartless place to be. I hope that pup is no longer suffering at the hands of his cowardly owner. I hope the authorities in High Point WAKE THE **** UP! What is in the proof of the video is NOT RIGHT and NEVER EVER will be.

Chained to You by Maria Daines

Bless you for such a powerful song. I wish everyone would listen to it.

I give huge props to Dogs Deserve Better Tammy Grimes. She is included in the story of Doogie, a dog she was called to check on only to find that the dog couldn’t even walk. Emotions took over and she took the dog to save it. Long story short she was made out to be the bad guy for “stealing” the dog. She saved him. Evidently there seems to be miscommunication and many crooked people involved in animal welfare in PA.

Her newest attempt, she tried to save these two saint bernards and another dog the RIGHT way, the way she was told to do so by the judge and the police and what happened? One dog died, another disappears, the “owner” walks away free without incident and the dogs suffer and no one gives a shit.

Check out her findings, including video proof of what is going on in her crooked little town. The owner was tipped off. JERKS!!!!!

This totally breaks my heart. As a society we should be able to do something to save these animals and the real abusers should be punished. Instead, those trying to save the animals and give them help are the ones criticized and pushed aside while the animals suffer more.

More power to you Ms Grimes, dogs do deserve better and you have my full and total support to save them all!

If you want to file a complaint or express your feelings about this or other situations here’s the numbers to call:

West Hills Police Department 814.255.4145
Cambria Humane Society 814.535.6116
Mark Miller (Dog Warden) 814.623.3945

Let’s hope there is enough noise made that this doesn’t happen again.

I came across this shocking article. What can be done to change the suffering of these animals? Please pass on the article. Hopefully we can all make a difference.

So you want to breed or buy

Did you know that your “harmless” hobby or quick buck helps to contribute to this? yes this video is from an Australian organization but it was filmed in the United States because this is what happens in the United States every hour of every day. Wake up and think before more animals die. And don’t say you’re breeding to enhance the breed. The other “breed enhancements” are in shelters all around you waiting in line for the gas chambers and heart sticks. Don’t be stupid. Be responsible. Spay and neuter.
