Just because….

by

Just because you believe its “irresponsible” doesn’t make it physically impossible.

Just because you believe its “wrong” doesn’t make it illegal.

And really, if the person in question has already broken the law to get to that point they really aren’t going to care about your morals or sense of responsibility when it comes to their next acts.

Just sayin’.

Know an animal lover in Memphis TN?

6 Comments by

Or even better, know a lawyer in that area who’s familier with FOIA law and animal rights law and willing to work for cheap?  I think they’d take a sports person or music star who was willing to stick their nose in and add some publicity too…..

Last year I posted several posts on the story of Kapone, a pitt-bull who was picked up by an MAS employee, and disappeared.  6 months later he was discovered in a backyard in the next state where he was being used for stud.

Kapone wasn’t the first animal that MAS “lost”, just one of the first to gain serious media attention.  Outside reports and audits indicate that a rather significant percentage of animals just disappear after being picked up by MAS employees, and it appears that at least some of them are being sold for dog-fighting purposes (breeding, baiting, etc).

Well, MAS is at it again, or more correctly, still.

Nola (a lab/bulldog cross) and her buddy Uno (a husky) dug under their fence on May 3rd, and were picked up by animal control and taken to MAS the same day.  Their owner, a Ms Henry, checked with MAS on May 4th.  And was told her dogs were not there.  A week later a neighbor called her and told her that he was pretty sure her dogs had been picked up by animal control the day they got out, so back she went to MAS.  THIS time employees admitted they had Uno, however although she was microchipped and reported lost to the chip company, Ms Henry never received a call.  After speaking with the officer who picked up both dogs they were able to find the records for Nola, dated APRIL 3rd, and listing her as a pittbull cross.  There was no information as to where Nola went or what happened to her.

Ms Henry is in the process of filling out an FOIA request for all security footage and information related to Nola’s intake, however considering Yes Biscuit’s attempts to do the same we’re not very hopeful that the information will be obtained.

Here is a picture of Nola:

If you have seen this dog, or know information on her where-abouts please inform the police, please ALSO consider informing Yes Biscuit so she can make sure that your information is followed up on.

To central NY drivers who were on the roads this week:

by

To the black Hyundai: yes it was raining, but on that road, in that rain, there was no need to go 20mph under the speed limit.  Trust me.

To the black pickup (make unknown), who was making a sharper than 90degree left turn onto the same road as above in the same rain.  SLOW THE HECK DOWN.  When your back-end swings out not just once, but three times as you fly around that turn and your front wheels skid wildly, you’re going WAY to fast for both turn and weather.

To the lady in the silver coupe (make unknown) who was so entranced by her smart phone that she missed her green turn arrow….put the phone down. 

To the driver of the newer model SUV (make unknown): Yes I came to a stop instead of trying to merge into moving traffic at the circle.  That time of day, at that location, there was no point in being a rude driver when I could already see I was going to have a nice big opening to pull into a whole 20 seconds later.  It was also a nice gentle, predictable stop, I in no way slammed on my brakes abruptly.  I’d suggest paying more attention to the car in front of you so that next time that happens you can stop at a reasonable distance behind them, instead of screeching to a halt next to them on the shoulder….

Theme update

by

There is yet another theme update to be done.  Since I completed the child theme that is supposed to over ride with at least some of my corrections I’m going to go ahead and do the update now and finish any corrections after work…..yes I’m feeling overly brave this morning…..

 

Edit: and it looks like it worked.  Sweet.  I’ll finish the odds and ends that I couldn’t figure out how to do automatically later.
