On a fractious cat hiding in a mattress,or in the rafters, under a vehicle, behind a heavy piece of equipment or furniture, its the only way to get the job done.

The Department allowed almost 1/3 of all animals in the shelters to die from illness in August and September of this year. 900 "other" animals died from illness, others were euthanized because they were dying. That is criminal animal cruelty to allow animals to die in pain from disease. <BR/><BR/>In the beginning of August there were 1,100 other animals. If you scanned the other photos, they were mainly red slider water turtles. Within 30 days there were only 198 other animals. All the water turtles died or were euthanized as all their photos were gone. 900 out of 3,000 animals in all six shelters dead from disease within 30 days. How does an animal rescue organization manage to let 1/3 of all animals die from disease?That is animal cruelty, not animal rescue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-57278980259933343012007-10-13T12:21:00.000-07:002007-10-13T12:21:00.000-07:00Even the volunteers were taught never to use a cat...Even the volunteers were taught never to use a catch pole on a cat. They made us all sign a statement saying we took the animal handling class and will follow all recommendations. <BR/><BR/>Does anyone remember Tigra the cat? She was grabbed by a catch pole in her cage, then swung into the wall. She died days later in her cage from her injuries. <BR/><BR/>That cat looks healthy to me. Why did they confiscate him? Looks like he would have been better off left at that guy's house instead of swung around a room by his neck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-13227720593699655902007-10-13T11:52:00.000-07:002007-10-13T11:52:00.000-07:00THIS IS SO FUCKING DISGUSTING!!!The task force als...THIS IS SO FUCKING DISGUSTING!!!<BR/><BR/>The task force also has been giving back animals to their abusers, and giving days to hoarders to "clean up conditions", which means they get rid of the animals to unknown conditions, and that seems to be fine with them.<BR/><BR/>ED BOKS is written all over this criminal activity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
