Dear Executive Constantine:
We are writing this in the hopes that it will reach you personally, and capture your attention in a way that we were unable to do when we met a few weeks ago. When we asked you during your campaign how you would address animal services issues, you wrote of your “commitment to bring about long-overdue systemic change,” and promised that you would “hit the ground running and create real, rapid, and lasting change.”
We believe that you meant those promises, and still do. We believe that you share our
commitment to an animal care and control system where animals receive humane care,
where all adoptable and treatable animals find loving homes, and where animals in the
community are protected against cruelty and neglect.
However, something has gone tragically wrong in implementing your vision for a better
future for animals in King County – both in the actions that your administration has taken to date, and in the plan that you have presented to the King County Council. We have not seen meaningful signs of “real” and “rapid” change in KCACC in the past six months, and most importantly, your “Roadmap for Reform” does not plan for the kind of “long-overdue systemic change” that we agree is necessary to give county animal services any chance of being successful.
The time for this change is now, or never. If the long-overdue systemic change does not take place now, before the funding for the program is locked in for the next 2.5 years, then we believe that it never will. When we have spoken to Carrie Cihak over the past several months, we have always been told that real reform can wait – that real reform must wait – because “stability” needs to be brought to the system first in the form of guaranteed funding, and that there has been no time to simultaneously make fundamental changes that will help the animals.
But over the past three years, we have worked by your side to create instability in the system, for the very reason that a broken, failing system should not be stable. Until King County animal services can prove its ability to treat animals humanely, to get every healthy and treatable animal out of the shelter alive, to protect King County citizens and animals, and to spend taxpayer money wisely, its future should be in doubt. Like any non-profit organization that depends on donor funds, or any for-profit company that depends on customer satisfaction, county animal services should be required to demonstrate measurable success before it is guaranteed a future of taxpayer funding. It has not done so, and your “Roadmap for Reform” does not set forth the sort of fundamental reform that is required to fix this broken system. (You know, as well as anyone, that small fixes are not going to get the job done.) As a result, we are sending to the council today a 16-point position paper that outlines our reasons for opposing your Regional Plan for Animal Services. As described in detail in our position paper and the attached letter, we believe that your plan is bad for the animals and bad for the taxpayers, and perpetuates a dangerous situation for the citizens of King County.
We want to tell you how difficult the decision to publicly oppose your plan has been for us. We have supported you for years, because we believed that you were the county’s greatest champion for the animals. That is why we resisted taking an active public stance in opposition to your Regional Plan – even after it began to be clear that your plan was headed in the wrong direction, even after it was clear that your advisors were not open to differing opinions, and even after you walked out in the middle of our attempt to communicate these misgivings to you.
We are not naysayers by nature, and we have no desire to be at odds with another King
County executive. We want nothing more than to be able to conscientiously support you
and your vision for animal welfare in King County. We want nothing more than to
abandon our mission to “expose” KCACC, and instead use our time to help you to build a better future for King County’s animals. Our belief in this future has been our motivation to remain dedicated to this effort ever since we served on the KCACC Citizens’ Advisory Committee nearly three years ago. But now, we are not alone among your former supporters in feeling betrayed, disillusioned, and hopeless. At this point, many people who have been the strongest supporters of the animals have simply given up –after years of fighting and seeing so little progress at KCACC, they no longer believe progress is possible. They are tired of speaking out to expose neglect and cruelty at the hands of KCACC – of writing letters, of attending meetings, and of putting themselves and their reputations on the line. They
fought for years believing that they had your firm support, and that with your election, the animals would have a firm ally. Now, they do not know where to turn.
We looked to you for new solutions, and instead your administration is feeding us the
same old lines, supported by the same discredited statistics. We were confident that you would replace the old culture at KCACC (which you frequently described as “corrupt”)with a new culture based on compassion, expertise, and accountability. But instead, we have seen you entrust the future of animals in King County to advisors who have no background in animal sheltering or cruelty issues, and yet who are singularly unwilling to seek out expertise, or listen to ideas that differ from their own.
Now we find ourselves at an unfortunate impasse. Our principles demand that we stand
up for the animals and in opposition to your plan, even though we believe that you mean well, and have inadvertently allowed your policies to be taken in the wrong direction. And so this is our final plea: Please take a few minutes to actually read our position paper and consider it carefully. If we persuade you, please have the humility to admit that you (or your staff) may have made some mistakes, and be open to fresh perspectives. Please consider the possibility that these intractable problems at KCACC may call for a new way of doing things, rather than the “solution” that your advisors have found to bring “stability” to a broken system – by finding more money to fund more government.
We do not pretend that we have all the answers to the complex problems that you face in reforming KCACC. Please be open to the possibility that you, and your inexperienced advisors, do not have all the answers either, and seek to immediately hire and consult people who are proven experts in achieving the kinds of results that you envision for the animals of King County.1
No one is right all the time. With so many urgent problems for you to manage as King
County Executive, it is understandable that you might have allowed your staff to take the wrong path on this issue, with the best of intentions. But the mark of a great leader is his ability to admit mistakes, and make corrections before it is too late. Be bold. Be brave. Be the kind of leader we can follow with pride. And, please,
remember that the animals are counting on you.
Sincerely,
Claire Davis
Kim Sgro
Co-chairs, KCACC Exposed
It is worth noting here, for the record, that when we urge you to consult and hire “experts,” we do not mean ourselves. Neither of us has ever sought employment with King County, or compensation from the county of any kind. To the contrary, we have spent hundreds of hours volunteering our time to help the county – sometimes is an official capacity as with the advisory committee or strategic planning committee,
but often in a more unofficial capacity, as when we worked closely with you and your staff when you were a councilmember. And the main advice and assistance that we have attempted to offer to your staff in recent months has been to help them to find the appropriate experts to consult and hire, not by offering ourselves out as the people who have all the answers.

Stupid Fuckers
The City of LA is not a city of angels, but rather a city of fools. They did hire that bitch, Brenda Barnette. Well, they'll learn the hard way, like Philly and Indy.
No worry, if the Mayor thinks that the Whinonettes were a handful, they are a minority, then wait until the majority of the humane community gets on his back for hiring a breeder who tried to undermine animal control in King County. I said all along there was a conspiracy and now here's the proof. This is an email to Executive Constantine saying that very thing, just released this morning by the ACO Guild.
https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=gmail&attid=0.2&thid=1294666a01a41711&mt=application%2Fpdf&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3Fui%3D2%26ik%3Da4d07c155e%26view%3Datt%26th%3D1294666a01a41711%26attid%3D0.2%26disp%3Dattd%26zw&sig=AHIEtbTaRIWneUuf1pRsueRjVR7WCRD3Ag&pli=1
But over the past three years, we have worked by your side to create instability in the system, for the very reason that a broken, failing system should not be stable.
The KCACC Exposed is comprised of three women, one of whom is Brenda Barnette. She is a legislative rep for the AKC for God's sake and die hard Whinonette. Who in their right mind would hire this woman to head a major animal control division? As always the Mayor is thinking with his short dick rather than his head.
Don't worry, we will fight. She will go down in flames when the truth starts coming out. The bitch wouldn't even help her own local shelter animals with importing dogs from other areas, taking homes away from the shelter animals there. Then she had the nerve to lie about it.
Boks was bad enough but this woman is the kiss of death just like all of the Whino's lackeys. At least when it happens, it will also mean the kiss of death to the "No Kill Equation" and that would be worth the trials and tribulations.

What Happened Here????
I saw this and just had to say something. The Whino lays claim to the Nevada Humane Society being so great, a true no kill. Well, if that is the case then why is this report stating that the SPCA is the only no kill in Reno?
http://www.ktvn.com/Global/story.asp?S=12662635
The Reno area's only no-kill animal shelter broke ground today on a new facility that will more than triple its current size, leading hopefully to hundreds of more animal being saved from death.
Seems some fool left his money, $5 million to the SPCA, probably because of it being "no kill". Now the question is, why didn't this person leave that money to the Nevada Humane Society? With all the propaganda that is out there one would think that the money would have gone to NHS instead. Could it be that this fool knew the truth about NHS?
Anyway, it is a good thing that NHS didn't get that money, would just allow them to continue to fly under the radar and spread their lies about how great they are.

Sorry to Leave You Guys Hanging
Again, I have been chastised with unpublished comments for no new posting lately. Bear with me, I have been working to make sure that none of the Whino's people are hired in LA City. We should know tomorrow. Then I can get back to giving the Whino hell again. Although it is beginning to look like there's little use in doing that, he is on his way out. Not much coming from his camp anymore. As Martha says, that's a good thing.

Energizer Spadaro Just Keeps Going, and Going, and Going....
Today an order was issued that Spadaro must relinquish another 40 dogs today bringing her total to 115 dogs still be tormented by this bitch. She must also find another place to take 35 more dogs on or by July 2nd making the total left of 80 to continue to endure this pervert. And whatever has managed to stay alive until August 6th will be picked up by animal control.
Spadaro has been order to let animal control know the whereabouts of all these animals within 48 hours of her taking them from where they are now. If she fails to do that, then all the animals go to animal control.
WHEN WILL HER FUCKING TRIAL START? WE WANT THIS BITCH BEHIND BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!
The law needs to be changed. No one should be allowed to continue to torment animals like this bitch has been allowed to do. Only the Whino can lay claim to tormenting more animals with his "No Kill Equation" bullshit. He and Charlotte Spadaro are two of a kind, comrades in arms, both claiming to help animals when actually they prey on animals. I wish the two of them could share a jail cell.

HOW CAN THEY DO THIS?????
This is a disturbing piece from Wayne Parcelle. Follow the links provided to see a video of men hitting new born calves in the head with their fists and metal bars. I couldn't watch all of it.
http://hsus.typepad.com/wayne/2010/05/ohio-dairy-abuse.html
One has to ask how a human could be so cruel but I have to ask how the likes of Nathan J. Winograd and Brent Toellner could be so cruel as to condemn the agency that is stopping this type of abuse. How can they do that?
How can they deliberately try to turn people away from HSUS, affect their donor base so that they might not be able to go after these types of abusers? I'll tell you why, because they don't give a damn for animals. These two assholes want the cruelty to continue.
They try to turn people away from HSUS with their condemnation by saying that HSUS doesn't help shelter animals. Hey, you jerks, there are more species of animals than just cats and dogs. Everyone has to chose their battles and HSUS has chosen to stop the abuse of those others who are used to supply us with food, fur coats, entertainment. Why can't Winograd and Toellner see that?
These two men have done more to harm animals than they could ever to do to help them. I hope they rot in hell for their deeds. There is a saying that before you can enter heaven, you have to walk by all the animals you failed to help in life. Those animals can block your way into heaven. That's why these two will go straight to hell for what they are doing.
Thank you HSUS for being there. My donation is in the mail.

KCDogPoop Stinking It Up Again!!
UPDATE: Guess this will piss off this puppy mill supporter! S3424, Puppy Uniform Protection Statute S3424 was introduced yesterday. Your rotten buddies, Toellner, the puppy millers will have a hard time with this one. Kudos to HSUS for their timely production on the Pimping for Pits channel over the investigation of puppy mills. http://hsus.typepad.com/wayne/2010/05/puppy-mills.html
Again, this fool is mouthing off and it is a real pisser. Now he is against enforcement of pet licensing. Yes, Fool, it is for public health, ever heard of rabies? Course you've been rabid ever since you jumped in bed with the Whino, but have you ever heard of rabies????
This is the advice for those trying to help animals by making sure they have their rabies vaccinations. http://www.kcdogadvocates.org/dnn/Articles/ACKnocking/tabid/102/Default.aspx
Basically they tell you to tell Animal Control to go to hell. This is the same advice given to breeders. This is also straight from the Whino's mouth to KCDogPoop's ass.
Toellner tries to take the focus off the issue with his rantings about there are so many other things that the officials need to be doing. Typical for a pit nutter, maybe he wrote the book, but I don't give him credit for being that smart, he just repeats what he hears like the puppet he is.
http://btoellner.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/05/doortodoor-dog-licensing-wasting-resources-wasting-time-kcmo-continues-to-make-contentious-relations.html
In other words, fuck laws, they are made for others, not those who own pits or don't get their dogs vaccinated or BREEDERS. Then he goes on to talk about our rights verses the law, straight from the mouths of breeders talking about their "property". This man claims to care about animals?
He calls it a grab for money. So fucking what if it is? That might mean more funds for the shelter animals. Again, this asshole claims to give a shit about the shelter animals?
Brent Toellner is as evil as the Messiah he follows blindly. He is a pimp for pits and for breeders, that's all he is and will ever be. Vote for him for Joke of the Year, he deserves it.
Wonder how much he is being paid to spread this propaganda? Surely he has enough sense to not do it for free. Then again................! Toellner, you are so fucking obvious, you ain't fooling anyone but yourself.
