THE KILLING FIELDS

[5anmlsfightingback]

I got word of a mass slaughter of animals at our shelter last Friday. The volunteers were scrambling to get the animals out before they were dragged to their death. I asked myself why? What had these animals done to deserve that fate, nothing absolutely nothing! Then why was this happening, I asked myself again? The answer is the Manager Eric Anderson, he's the culprit. He's the one who plays GOD and decides who lives and who dies. Such is an evil person, and I mean really evil, who has taken an oath to be a veterinarian and help animals, not kill them. He claims there is a space issue, he claims the animal has a brain tumor, by just looking at it, he claims the animal is ill, he claims the animal should just die that day, why not, it's just a dumb animal with no rights, no big deal. This person is a very disturbed individual, who takes great delight in killing animals, and also inflicting pain on people also. He is SICK-SICK-SICK!! He breaks the law on a daily basis, and has his own agenda. He has recently removed more cat cages out, so more cats can be killed. He also has been firing very dedicated volunteers, so they can't rock the boat. How can you honestly fire a volunteer, they aren't on the payroll?? Very bizarre to say the least! I would also like to make mention of a dog named Jenny, who was also killed recently. Her only crime, she was born a pit bull! She was a very sweet dog, highly adoptable with a huge, I mean huge gapping deep wound on her belly! She was never treated(also against the law) and left in her dirty kennel with an oversized plastic cone on her head to suffer until she was killed. Her wound needed to be sutered and I'm sure with such a huge lampshade on her head she had a very difficult time just trying to eat or drink. How could anyone allow this to happen, just ask Eric Anderson? How cruel can one be, and abusive? This is not an isolated incident, it's a common occurance. I do believe in KARMA, and if I were Eric Andrson, I would be plenty worried!!!!!! This posting is in honor of Jenny, may she rest in peace----. To be continued, until he is gone.

Have you considered the Grand Jury? Riverside County had a bad situation with their shelter director. For years the humane community complained to the Board of Supervisors to no avail. In those years, the Grand Jury went in on animal control and had no idea what to look for so the report was okay. But when a member of the humane community volunteered to spend a year of her life as a Juror, the nuts hit the fan. She was able to educate and steer the Jurors toward the problems at the shelter and they were plenty. It resulted in a scathing report, total embarrassment to the Board of Supervisors, resignation of the director, and an HSUS audit, 147 pages of it. This might be a route to get the info out into the public. But it means a year of service as well. Most Jurors are older retired people because they have the time. They just don't know what to look for when they go into animal control. Then with a Grand Jury report, actions can be taken to make changes.

Need to also mention that the Grand Jury needs complaints from the public so this must be organized as well. You can submit complaints to the Grand Jury with or without someone sitting on it with knowledge. If you document it well enough and give them enough to go on, they will investigate. But they may not either. Take a chance. Usually a form is online regarding submitting a complaint to the Grand Jury.
