CONCERNING BRENDA BARNETTE

I've gotten some comments as to why I am not writing as much anymore. Others do a much better job and are writing about events. Of course, they don't put my slant on things.

To be honest, there is just too much work right now to keep this blog going. Although I want to everyday, it's hard to do when you are writing to legislators all day.

I will make an effort to do a little more with the blog. Much of it has been 'dedicated' to the breeder, Brenda Barnette. Obviously, no one in LA much read it when it first came out, but they are reading it now.

LA got what it wished for, No Kill. It wasn't what you thought, was it LA? Tried to tell you, didn't want to hear it. My problem now is if Barnette does leave, who will take her place. No one in their right mind who is capable of fixing LAAS would be willing to do it UNLESS No Kill is kicked to the curb and never brought up again. Otherwise, LA is doomed to repeat the mistakes made with Boks and Barnette. I fear an even worse person will be hired, Jon Cicirelli from San Jose. He wants the job.

I just hope that LA doesn't jump out of the pot into the fire. If they don't start learning their lessons from the past, they are doomed to repeat them in the future.

KNOW THY ENEMY, BUT DON'T PARTY WITH THEM

The types that are attracted to No Kill never cease to amaze me. We have, of course, the likes of Best Fiends, or Best Friends, as idiots call them. A cult who figured out they got more money from pimping animals than from passing around the church plate.

Now here is Jane Berkey, idol and hero to every pit lover in the country. If you don't know her, here is but some info on this woman.

Seems there are other loves of Ms. Berkey. Warning: May be more than you want to know.

Credibility. Know thy enemy better than you know thyself. Attack credibility. How many officials want to be linked with the likes of these folks? More tools for the arsenal.

ARE LA'S TRANSPORTED DOGS GOING TO CANADA FOR THE DINNER TABLE?

I'm quite sure that most people know that some cultures do eat dogs. I know that we Americans find that offensive. I also know that several years ago LA had people getting a mama and her litter out only to bring the mama back after the puppies were weaned. Seems the biggest delicacy is the puppies. (This is so hard to even think about, much less write about.) At that time, people only had to pay fees for the one dog, now they must pay for each puppy as well. So that original policy helped to curb that situation. But there is a lot of rumor that Brenda Barnette is in such a hurry to get her stats down that she is allowing entire liters with Mom's go to out only for the cost of the Mom.  That CANNOT be allowed.  If the foster brings that animals back in good condition they should get their deposit back (for each pup.)  Also, rescues should have to pay for EACH puppy.  We don't really know what happens to those that get "transported."

Now first you need to read this story about a stolen dog taken from the shelter with a frantic owner looking for it. The dog was taken by a "rescue" who immediately removed the chip that the responsible owner had put in. Why didn't they try to locate the owner instead? http://www.opposingviews.com/i/are-l-a-s-transported-dogs-stolen-or-rescued

Then read this about the LA transports to Canada. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/l-a-shelter-dogs-transported-to-canada-rescue-or-ruse

Now you have some background for reading this article in Opposing Views. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/animal-rights/dog-meat-popularity-vietnam-creates-market-stolen-pets

It talks about the Canadians who still sell to labs, and who eat dogs. No offense to our Canadian neighbors but this is the truth. 

TRANSPORTING SHELTER DOGS TO CANADA – POSSIBILITY OF SLAUGHTER?

A January 2011 Opposing Views article, L.A. Shelter Dogs Transported to Canada, Rescue or Ruse?,” discussed the American mania to transport dogs from shelter to shelter, rescue to rescue, and even out of the country to attempt to give the impression the U.S. is becoming “No Kill”.  Many of these transports involve shipping mostly smaller dogs and Pit Bulls to Canada, with no monitoring or follow-up on their ultimate destination. It is important that anyone involved in or condoning this practice is aware of the following:

 Under Canada's Wildlife Act, there is no law against selling and serving canine meat, including dogs, if it is killed and gutted in front of federal inspectors. http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2003/11/07/dog_meat031107.html

In a 2002-2006 on-line poll, 33.72% of responders voted “Yes” to the question, “Should Canadians increase their consumption of dog meat?” http://forums.redflagdeals.com/pet-overpopulation-should-we-start-eating-more-dog-cat-canada-296403/2/

So the question does arise, are our dogs ending up on dinner tables from these transports that are totally unregulated. With all the money making schemes being unraveled lately surrounding "No Kill", someone just might be making a buck off dog steaks.

BRENDA BARNETTE

Yes I know, I know. I haven't posted too much lately on Breeder Barnette. She's been involved in a lot lately. The investigations are finished and none have been in Barnette's favor.


I am waiting for some things to happen so I can combine all her recent failures along with the future failure to make one helluva post about this retched woman who suffers with penis envy.


Just hold on, it's coming. 

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET, LA!!!

Wait for my next post on Breeder Barnette, it's a blockbuster!

Coming soon, what the City needs to rid itself of this cursed Breeder Barnette. Boy has she screwed up now. WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING BB? BETTER TUCK YOUR TAIL BEFORE YOU BECOME TOO WELL KNOWN TO GET ANOTHER JOB WITH ANIMALS. Course you'll always be able to work for the AKC, which is where you belong.

If you submit your resignation on Monday, Barnette, I won't post the latest. Otherwise wait for the fallout.

BRENDA BARNETTE’S NO-KILL PLAN:

SHUTTING DOWN BOTH VALLEY SHELTERS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON ONLY KILLS A FEW!!!

On January 24, the Los Angeles Daily News published an article about the City Council considering shutting down city agencies one day a week. Here’s the quote about Breeder Barnette, “

“On the humane front, Animal Services General Manager Brenda Barnette said it will mean euthanizing more animals and even more limited kennel space. According to a quote in the LA Daily News about the City considering shutting down some city services by one day a week it will mean more euthanasia.” http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_17187290

But “more euthanasia" didn’t seem to bother her last weekend, when she sent the following notification about closing both the East and West Valley shelters for Saturday afternoon to New Hope partners and another rendition to employees. She reportedly told one rescuer that closing both the East and West Valley shelters for what should be one of the busiest times of the week for people to find lost animals and adopt a new pet, wasn’t a problem because they only adopt out about five.

Now, if the GM of one of the largest shelter systems in the world can only get five adoptions on a Saturday afternoon in two of the busiest shelters, I’d say there’s something wrong. I suggest we see if we can get more bang for the $180,000 bucks per year that we pay her from tax money.

The notification sent to the New Hope partners:

The West Valley and East Valley Animal Care Shelters will close at Noon on Saturday 2/26/11 in honor of Captain Helen Brakemeier, a dedicated 26-year member of the LAAS family who passed away on Sunday, and to allow our staff to attend her memorial services. The other shelters (WLA, NC, SLA, & H) will maintain regular business hours.
While New Hope Partners do have access to the Animal Care Centers after business hours with prior scheduling to evaluate animals, there will not be any Clerks available to process New Hope Adoptions at the East Valley and West Valley shelters after 12pm on 2/26/11. West Valley and East Valley will be open again at 11am on Sunday, 2/27/11 for regular business.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WOMAN THINKING? CERTAINLY SHE DOESN'T THINK LIKE AN ANIMAL CONTROL AGENCY MANAGER. What if there had been an emergency or disaster and all the officers were in one location out of Los Angeles? What if a cattle truck had overturned on the freeway? What if there’s been a big structure fire in the Valley where lots of animals needed to be removed? This is how Barnette “honors” a career employee who devoted her life to saving animals? Capt. Helen Brakemeier, would have never thought closing the shelters and risking even one animal being killed or not adopted or not taken home is a “tribute” to her!

Why didn’t the shelters stay OPEN in honor of Capt. Brakemeier? Why didn’t a living, growing tree get planted at the shelter with a plague in honor of Capt. Brakemeier’s life? I’m sure Helen Brakemeier would have opted for life for those five animals, even if Breeder Barnette thinks five “precious lives” (to quote the ADL-LA) are insignificant.

Councilmen Paul Koretz--this serves your district, is it OK with you? Councilman Bill Rosendahl - what do you think of this "most qualified" manager now?

Bosom Buddies: The ADL-LA, the NAIA, and Brenda Barnette

Or maybe strange bedfellows? How did you miss this one, ADL-LA? Do you really know who you are supporting, Pamster? Just everything that you "say" you stand against is what your bosom buddy, Miss BB, stands for. I'm quite sure, Pammie, that you know who the NAIA is but for those who don't, well here is the morbid truth. For those less informed about the NAIA, it is the National Animal Interest Alliance, a very deceiving name because nothing it does is in the interest of animals, only in the interest of money. Kinda like the Whino and his "No Kill" deceptive name.

http://www.naiaonline.org/about/More_about_NAIA.htm

I will paraphrase because this group's website doesn't allow me to cut and paste.

Their philosophy supports:
The responsible and "humane" use of animals for food, clothing, medical research, companionship, assistance,recreation, entertainment and education. The NAIA supports ethical and regulated hunting and fishing for wildlife management programs. (Ethical, my ass, nothing is ethical about this group.)

The NAIA rejects the animal rights movement and considers it unnatural, misguided and harmful to animals and people. (OMG, Pammie, look at what they think about you. Yet you are crawling into bed with them???)

The NAIA is supported financially by breeders, medical researchers, livestock, poultry, and egg producers.

Whoa, wait a minute, Pamster, is this not all that you fight against? So how does all this fit together, one common factor, Brenda Barnette.

Brenda Barnette's kennel club, the Seattle Kennel Club, of which she was a legislative representative is a big supporter for the NAIA, raising funds for their dastardly work. We all know the stories associated with medical research. We all know of the plight of animals in entertainment. We all know of the poor chickens who are forced into cages so small they can't turn around and forced to lay eggs until it kills them. We know of the gestation crates of pigs and what a horrible life they have. Yet, this is part of the NAIA, they protect those involved in this type of cruelty by fighting legislation that would make these animals lives a little better. Barnette actually participated in raising funds for this, she probably is still a due paying member of the Seattle Kennel Club who raises funds for the NAIA.

http://www.brillwood.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2340&sid=0fd1fb9dc987f8a37d681fc669f1d941
The Seattle Kennel Club, along with NAIA (National Animal Interest Alliance), is hosting an "Organizing to Win" seminar on Friday, March 7, 2008, 7:00 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1801 E. Valley Road in Renton and will be speaking to help organize the people and clubs in Washington State to defeat Bills that are currently being heard in the House and Senate. We all know that if we do not organize NOW and show the AR's that we are united, it will only be a matter of time before BSL and MSN is on our doorsteps like it is in other states. The registration fee for this seminar is $40 in advance, $50 at the door with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to the NAIA. This will be a fast paced couple of hours exploring the issues and solutions facing the relationship of humans and their animals in today's political world. I plan on attending and if anyone else is so inclined, go out to the Seattle Kennel Club website at http://www.seattlekennelclub.org/ , scroll down the home page and click on the 'Organizing to Win' link and it will take you to the registration form.

Now I would venture to say that since this is pertaining to stopping legislation and since Barnette was the legislative representative for the kennel club, it stands to reason she was probably one of the organizers of this event. SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS, ADL-LA? HOW WILL YOUR NEXT ALERT READ? It should read that you have sold out, that you now support those who support medical research and the cruelty of agribusiness. Explain this away, Pamster, you can't. You're a joke, ADL-LA, a bad joke. Get some backbone back and help us get rid of this Breeder Barnette. And while you're at it, get rid of Nathan Winograd, he's in league with Barnette as well. You've been his puppet for too long and look where it's put you.

Help Me!! I've Been Rescued By Brenda Barnette

Help Me!! I was Rescued By Brenda Barnette for a News Release. I’m “warehoused” at an LAAS shelter. She didn’t give me a name, except A1182494.

When Breeder Barnette first got the LAAS GM job, those who did their homework were deeply alarmed that L.A. had selected a breeder and AKC Legislative Liaison who opposed our spay/neuter law to run LA Animal Services. Nathan Winograd supported her. Did you notice that Mr. Winograd has become silent now that Brenda Barnette's kill numbers are UP (not heading for no-kill as she promised?) Wasn't it the Whino himself who says the killing can stop "OVERNIGHT"? So six months of overnights and the killing is up?

When the informed complained about L.A. hiring a breeder for GM, the cry from the fawning uninformed Winograd followers (ESPECIALLY THE ADL-LA) was, "The shelter animals don't care who saves them! Brenda Barnette will save them!" (The Whino knows that Barnette actually worked against the shelter animals while in Seattle, preferring to import unvaccinated dogs from Kern County over the shelter animals in King County.)

And what happened to the ADL-LA? They used to be strident advocates for improved shelter results. Now they are pandering and manipulated operatives spewing disconnected misinformation and using pathetic overdramatized scenarios to try to make Brenda Barnette look good (or at least like she’s doing something!).

Recent example. A cat. Let's call him "A1182494." Because that's what Brenda Barnette calls him. (Whoa, isn't one of the "No Kill" rules is to give names to the animals?)

The ADL-LA dutifully cross-posted a "News Release" for Brenda Barnette about A1182494.

It seems poor A1182494 got injured in Beverly Hills. That eventually led someone to call in SmART, the LAAS specialists in capturing small animals in life-threatening situations. The injured cat had evaded a humane trap, tranquilizer pills, and multiple dart gun shots.

Finally the SmART team "rescued" the cat. WHERE WAS THIS CAT NEEDING RESCUE? Amid the chaise lounges. Brenda Barnette with her very questionable "wisdom" deduced that a specialized team with specialized equipment (at a pretty hefty salary paid by tax money) "rescuing" a cat from under pool furniture is newsworthy. (Wow! Don't slip on the suntan lotion!)

She issues a "News Release" describing the "rescue." The SmART team is excellent, but really, Brenda. A news release for rescuing a cat from a Beverly Hills chaise lounge??

The real news will be if Brenda Barnette can actually get this cat adopted.

Brenda Barnette’s riveting news release said the cat was impounded at the West L.A. shelter on January 16, 2011. It is now February 16th, one month later.

Where is the A1182494 now? Right where he was when he got impounded 31 days ago. Stuck in his little shelter cage like all the other cats Brenda Barnette has done nothing new or innovative to get adopted. (Thank goodness, he didn’t end up in somebody’s garage or basement!)

Wouldn’t any halfway decent GM who had nothing better to say in a news release than that a cat was "rescued" from Beverly Hills pool furniture would at least say something cute, endearing, lovable, or heart-grabbing about the cat to help him get adopted?

Not Breeder Barnette. Maybe because Brenda Barnette's choice is poodles. She demonstrates no affinity (or adoption ideas) for cats. In her news release, buried in the hyperbole about SmART, is an easy to miss one-word description of A1182494’s personality as "sweet." That's it. A 641 word news release and that’s all she can come up with to help save his life.

The very least she could have done is announce an adoption date, offered a reduced fee or something. If you care to look, you will see a most unbecoming picture of this poor cat, scared in a cage with an e-collar on. Sure, people will rush right out to adopt this cat after seeing that picture! Any idiot knows that the cat deserves a better photo than that.

Did Barnette bother checking the photo? Did she ask the West LA shelter to use the “rescue” story to help promote this cat? Does she understand or care how poor this cat's chances are? Does she have any idea at all to help him?? Winograd and ADL praised Brenda Barnette's masterful adoption skills. What has she done to "market" poor A1182494? Or was the goal the “news release” and nothing after that mattered?

So A1182494 is “lost” again. This time among the other 1,000+ LAAS animal photos on the LAAS website. Brenda Barnette's "news release" makes herself and the SmART Team look good, but not the cat, who is now in peril.

Brenda Barnette used the cat for her own purposes but is evidently not doing a damn thing to help him get adopted. It is now one month since A1182494 was impounded. ONE MONTH since, January 16, 2011, he has been waiting. Waiting for Brenda Barnette to do SOMETHING to help him get a home and save his life. This special “rescue” by the GM has been overlooked by even the New Hope partners.

But can someone tell A1182494 that it’s not just him? Sadly, the other LAAS cats are in bigger trouble than before Brenda Barnette got here too. Look at Brenda Barnette's LAAS cats statistics. The last four months show fewer cats falling under the live release stats. In other words, more cats dying under Barnette.

Just wait till the spring when those litters start rolling and watch the euthanasia go up because Barnette is pulling a Boks trick, called WAREHOUSING. Look on the website and see animals there for several months, sitting in a cage, getting kennel stress and becoming sick and/or less adoptable with each passing day.

Also want to mention that in the last four months, Barnette's adoption figures are LESS than when the department was under Davis and Barth, and Brenda in her ultimate wisdom dumped Linda Barth—the only person with administrative knowledge-- because Barth wouldn’t be her puppet like flunky Mark Salazar. Barth knew how to say “No” and she knew when something was badly wrong. Barnette doesn’t want to hear “No” because SHE is always right! (Tell that to A1182494!)

Hey, somebody out there—if you want a “sweet” cat, the GM assured us a month ago there’s one at West LA Shelter. He doesn’t have a name. Just ask for A1182494.

ADL-LA GETS AN "F" ON GRADING BRENDA BARNETTE'S FIRST SIX MONTHS!

The ADL-LA seems to have lost its collective nerve on protecting animals from research because they praised Breeder Barnette for sending over 100 helpless dogs from Los Angeles to Canada—where they still have pound seizure (giving shelter animals to medical research labs). Maybe that’s because the ADL-LA is no longer a “collective” (so to speak--) but a one-woman show! That one woman being Pam Ferdin.

Could there be truth to the rumor that Jerry Vlasak has flown the ADL-LA coup? We heard the Pamster (Ms. Ferdin) is now on her lonesome—except for maybe a friend on the LAAS Commission (who got their praises on the ALF website a few years ago)—and so she’s puffing up to look like something she ain’t! In the meantime was that JV with the next Ms. V that people are talking about?

Well, we’re not Dr. Phil here—speaking of which—it’s a shame that the dog he adopted from an LAAS Commissioner (posted on her website) made the headlines recently for biting a family friend. Wonder if the person who did the adoption told him about the tendencies of that breed? http://www.opposingviews.com/i/dr-phil-s-dog-attacks-beverly-hills-beauty-expert

Well, regardless, being a one-member ADL-LA doesn’t have much clout but it doesn’t matter because nobody’s paying any attention anymore anyway except maybe Bill Rosendahl and Paul Koretz. They seem to feel more powerful knowing they got the backing of a group a very reputable LA animal rescuer recently called alleged “eco-terrorists” in testimony to the City Council.

So after years with Sea Shepherds and other groups saving the oceans, here’s what the ADL-LA say about the Planning Department doing a study (EIR) on how much more poop-and-piss pollution would be produced in storm drains by a 66% increase in dogs and cats in Los Angeles—ALL (literally) dumping right into the ocean.

Read the ADL-LA post below and see if this sounds like an environmentally sensitive group. (Would you give an A+ to Breeder Barnette for trying to push this through without a CEQA?)


“FROM THE ADLL-LA on February 12th, 2011
“1.The ocean has an island of plastic bottles bigger than the size of the state of Massachusetts. Human-animals negatively impact the environment much more than non-human animals, who have NOT negatively impacted the environment for millions of years. (In other words, all the public health officials are wrong when they say dog and cat poop pollutes the storm drains, river and oceans.)

“2.Hundred of thousands of baby diapers and plastic pampers filled with urine and shit are thrown out car windows and/or left laying on our beaches. Certainly babies, kids and adults negatively impact the environment much more so than two more companion animals per household! And when our companion animals poop, we pick it up in a recyclable baggy and dispose of it properly!

HERE’S MORE FROM THE ADL-LA:
February 10th: Before we send out the second part in our series on Brenda Barnette: New General Manager at LA Animal Services, we want to set the record straight as to the role of Animal Defense League- LA, its board of directors and its members. First off, we are nobody's groupie, certainly not Barnette's. We have never sat down with her to hear her talk about herself or her plans; why would we? (SO, WHO ENDORSES SOMEONE THEY’VE NEVER “HEARD TALK ABOUT HER PLANS??) (WHAT ARE THEY GRADING HER ON?)

Only actions speak to us, not words, as we continue trying to expose and halt the killing of homeless and abandoned animals inside our six city "shelters". (OH, OH, BIG TROUBLE IN RIVER CITY FOR THE PAMSTER---BREEDER BARNETTE’S EUTHANASIA STATS ARE UP/HER ADOPTIONS ARE WAAAAY DOWN!!!)

And, while we’re speaking of it, the number of animals that have “ESCAPED” from the LAAS shelters since she’s been here has ALMOST DOUBLED! Does that mean all those volunteers Barnette and Mark Salazar have turned the shelter over to aren’t very well trained or knowledgeable? (LAAS shelter employees rarely allow animals to “escape.”) Last year the number was only 28. The same period this year since BB has been in charge, 54 have “escaped.” Where’s her order that this must stop? Why isn’t the Commission and the ADL-LA up in arms? Could it be that they don’t really care what happens to the animals in the street—as long as they don’t have to count them or take care of them in the shelter?

This seems to be verified by another issue brought up by an animal rescuer who was trying to get help for two dogs owned by a homeless person who was leaving them on a one-foot tether in the blistering heat with no water and then in the thunder and rain and freezing cold weather without shelter because he put his trash in his tent to keep it dry.

The disgusting story of how Mark Salazar and Brenda Barnette handled this situation is below and I highly suggest you read it and weep.

WATCH FOR MY NEXT POST. WE’LL DISCUSS BB and SALAZAR’S ABYSSMAL STATISTICS AND SOME OF THE “QUESTIONABLE” CHARACTERS THAT GOT BREEDER BARNETTE HER A+ FROM THE SHRINKING ADL-LA.

I leave you (for now) with this post from a very responsible rescuer on how “humane” Breeder Barnette and her flunky Mark Salazar are. They’ll do anything to avoid having to take an animal into the shelter. (Isn’t that what “shelters” are for?}

Please cross-post across Los Angeles and on Facebook.
For most of the past year, my charity has labored to improve the living conditions of Princess & Dude, two dogs who belong to a homeless man. In the past decade, we have only asked for an LAAS intervention a handful of times.

One of those times was in December.

Unfortunately, LAAS has continued to tolerate well-documented inhumane conditions, from last summer's sweltering heat, to this winter's torrential rainstorms, to what I documented today. We've got TONS of photos of the dogs tethered in the burning heat, and the torrential rain, of South LA.

Brenda Barnette and Mark Salazar original asked for 30 days to get the conditions improved by Lori from Downtown Dog Rescue. 30 days came & went. They asked for two more weeks, which also came & went.

Last year, when LAAS seized the dogs for inhumane living conditions, Lori bailed the dogs out and returned Princess & Dude, and kept a third dog, and found a home for her. My charity was willing to take on both Princess & Dude, but Lori wanted to play social worker while subjugating the animals' needs.

“So, enjoy these two sickening videos. The one of Princess is her hiding in December's torrential rainstorm, while tethered INSIDE a cage, and unable to get into a seeping nylon tent, because the homeless man stuffed it with trash. http://www.youtube.com/user/standfoundation?feature=mhum#p/u/1/fHNNLM1XcrA


“The other video is from YESTERDAY, which shows Dude in the heat without food or shelter, and a one-foot tether around his neck, unable to sit on the hot asphalt, or the jagged bottom of the chain link fence. http://www.youtube.com/user/standfoundation?feature=mhum#p/u/0/iE9aEYZgIHo

“Objectionable? You betcha. And Brenda and Mark want to give Lori even more time, putting the dogs' welfare on the back-burner, even though my charity was, and remains, prepared to take them on.

If you're as troubled about this as I am, call or email: (BB’s contact info provided.)

Brenda will tell you that they want to help the homeless man, but the Department's mandate is strictly public safety and the animals' welfare. At some point, the animals' welfare must come first. Life on a 24/7 tether is no life. Especially when it's one-foot in length. The alleged eco-terrorist who adores Brenda gives out phone numbers in action alerts, so I'm sure they're perfectly fine in sharing Brenda's.

Members of LA City Council (Again, BE POLITE)
http://www.lacity.org/YourGovernment/CityCouncil/index.htm

Or the local media. Ultimately, Dude & Princess pay the price. For no good reason at all.”

Brenda Barnette's Next Transport Plan - Priority Mail

And why not? Looking for alternatives to the expense of gasoline, I suspect this might catch on with Barnette and her cronies for transporting dogs since they don't seem to give a damn about where or who the dogs are going to. Wonder if there is a guarantee for delivery on time.

http://www.startribune.com/local/115011544.html?elr=KArksD:aDyaEP:kD:aUq9_b9b_jEkP:QUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUoD3aPc:_27EQU

The postal worker was stunned when the package moved by itself and fell to the floor. Then came the sounds of heavy panting.

Within minutes, she and co-workers had unwrapped a tightly sealed box and rescued a 4-month-old puppy that a Minneapolis woman tried to mail to Georgia.

BRENDA BARNETTE: "DON'T ASK/DON'T TELL" ANIMAL TRANSPORT PROGRAM

"See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is commonly used to describe someone willfully turning a blind eye to the immorality of an act in which they are involved.

My readers know that I have a problem with the importing of dogs when the local shelters are still euthanizing. Brenda Barnette, while in Seattle, was doing this importation, illegally I might add, and at the same time was working with Claire Davis and Kim Sgro to "create" instability in the King County shelters for Barnette's advantage. Note that Claire Davis used the term "create" in a letter to Dow Constantine when he turned against this mutant clan. http://workingtohelpanimalstodaytomorrow.blogspot.com/2010/06/terrorist-or-idiots-you-decide.html Can't chalk it off to a slip of the tongue since Davis is an attorney and well aware of the English language usage. I feel this importation scheme is not to save pets in as much as it is being used to keep the "rescues" in business while it puts the pressure on shelters to go "No Kill". Taking homes from shelter animals is immoral and these "rescues" doing the importation are more guilty of shelter pets dying than the shelter ever could be.

In conjunction with this stance, there is an excellent article in Opposing Views about a recent exportation of LA City dogs to Canada. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/l-a-shelter-dogs-transported-to-canada-rescue-or-ruse This article points out some of the problems with these exportations, like a lack of proper followup. One YouTube video shows what has happened on another exportation by those foolish LA rescue groups who believe that they are saving pets.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFf0_fFkU5s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDb2pGIquDY&feature=related

Also of note is Barnette's feeble attempt to offset her lack of responsibility in this matter. She has given orders to these "rescues" that they must qualify the receiving rescue and the only qualification is that they be "No Kill". YET BARNETTE IS AWARE OF HER FRIEND, KIM SGRO, WHO SENT KATRINA DOGS TO A "NO KILL". ALTHOUGH SGRO WAS TOLD THIS "NO KILL" WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A HOARDER, SHE THREATENED PEOPLE WITH A LAWSUIT RATHER THAN CHECKING IT OUT. THEY FOUND THE KATRINA DOGS STILL IN THE SAME CRATES, SOME DEAD, MONTHS LATER. http://www.komonews.com/news/archive/4167541.html

http://www.inhumane.org/data/T&WHanson.htm Do you have any idea how much the term "no kill" is used by non profits and they turn out to be abusers and hoarders? It is almost commonplace now to hear about these "No Kill" abusers. Just like using the term "Humane Society", "No Kill" is now a generic term that anyone can use, doesn't make it so however.

This isn't about saving lives, this is about making money, brokering dogs and trying to cram "No Kill" down our throats. One pitiful blog in LA has a video of this last transport, only thing is that the video is not of this last transport, maybe another one, but not the last one. The last transport was done with an individual and not a very nice one either. I ask you if this one person was able to take all these dogs on walks or if he allowed them to sit in their poop and urine for about a day. This blogger is a real nut case who supported Boks, then didn't support Boks, hated the ADL-LA, and now is in bed with the ADL-LA, just can't make up his mind. I doubt he has one really. Now he is kissing up to Barnette just like he kissed up to Boks, refusing to see the evidence in front of his nose.

Use your heads people. These "rescues" expect us to believe that there are places that have no problems with a pet overpopulation. Course isn't that the philosophy of "No Kill" no pet overpopulation? None of these "rescues" have investigated whether the local shelters where these imported dogs are going are still euthanizing. As long as those local shelters are euthanizing for time and space, it is morally wrong to send more dogs into the area. They aren't saving lives, they are taking lives. And most of them are non profits. Do their donors understand what they are doing, much less agree with it. We donate locally because we want to see the benefits locally. It's a scam, plain and simple, a devious plot to force more killing of shelter animals so these cultists can push Nathan Winograd's program. There's many more effective ways to save shelter animals, but this ain't one of them.
