"NO KILL" CREATES A NEW TYPE OF HOARDING

Because of the perception of the public about "No Kill" shelters, this case has a lot to offer. These women were hoarding, trying to get help from a "No Kill" shelter, and were turned away. They were sleeping in their car with 80 cats and all the while, "No Kill" shelters were turning them away. They were asking for help and were rejected by "No Kill". Just another way that "No Kill" is harming animals and causing animals to suffer and die. 


http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2011/07/14/Guilty-pleas-in-animal-cruelty-case/UPI-93181310666313/


BENNINGTON, Vt., July 14 (UPI) -- Two New York sisters pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges for keeping more than 80 cats, 13 of which had to be euthanized, in two cars.

All the cats were in need of medical care and were sent to a Bennington animal hospital and shelter where some had to be euthanized, authorities said.
New York police say they found and seized 50 more cats from Ryan's home in Troy.

The two women were looking for no-kill shelters for the cats, Ryan told the Banner.


Turning away animals because a "No Kill" shelter is full creates these situations. Condemning open door shelters, the mainstay of "No Kill", creates these situations. Had these women had a good perception of their local open door shelter, then these cats would not have had to suffer. "NO KILL" KILLS!!

NATHAN WINOGRAD: HATE MONGER

I managed to not look at his blog for awhile now but today I did. If you look at it, you'll see the same. He hates everyone except, of course, himself. He condemns all the organizations who stand up to cruelty in puppy mills, who stand up against dog fighting, who stand up period. The question one has to ask, what the hell does Winograd do against these evils in our world. The answer is NOT A DAMN THING!! All he does is run his big mouth, no action, and write worthless books. And he teaches his cult followers to hate, only hate, not try to help, just hate. Are they going into shelters and taking animals out - NO. Are they sitting in budget meetings to get animal control/shelters more money so they can do new programs - NO. Are they trying to bring the public into shelters to adopt - DEFINITELY NO!! They push the public away, if anything, so they can set it up to get Whino a consulting job. These are terrorists, people, forcing their philosophy on us.

Sorry to bust your bubble, Whino, but look closely at Austin's numbers, not the bullshit percentages of Abigail Smith and your cronies, No Kill Austin. It ain't that pretty a picture and I am in the midst of blowing Austin's numbers up. Charlottesville is giving away animals, devaluing them even more. If someone is looking for a bargain on a pet, you can bet that pet will never see the inside of a vet's office.

Whino, you are still avoiding the challenge issued by Pat Dunaway to prove what you say about her. You've sent your cult troops into San Bernardino to dig up something and all they are managing to do is make themselves and you look even more foolish than you already are. Stay tuned for more on this situation.

Connecticut Bill to Regulate Animal Transports is Making History

I've blogged about this before I hope this set a precedent for others: http://workingtohelpanimalstodaytomorrow.blogspot.com/2011/03/vets-against-rescues-transporting.htm



I did see one accusation that it is the breeders and money hungry vets behind it. Vets make a lot of money off these sick transported dogs. Too many times you see in blogs where people spent a lot of money on veterinary bills for dogs that had been transported in. I can believe it. Chihuahuas in Southern California have been so inbred, they have genetic problems start showing up at about a year of age. 

I understand that Maine is considering looking at this issue as well.

SO MANY CATS AND DOGS IN SEATTLE ARE GOING FOR FREE WHILE BRENDA BARNETTE CONTINUES TO DUMP MORE ON THEM

IS BRENDA BARNETTE MORALLY CORRUPT??


What is going on here? The Seattle Animal Shelter is so overcrowded that they are giving cats and dogs away and all the while, BRENDA BARNETTE IS SENDING HUNDREDS MORE INTO SEATTLE!!



This weekend might be the perfect time for Seattleites looking for a new pet.
The Seattle Animal Shelter, at 2061 15th Ave. W., has so many cats and dogs available for adoption they’re waiving all adoption fees Saturday and Sunday.
“We have so many adult dogs and cats that have been overlooked for several months,” Director Don Jordan said in a statement. “With summer here and the Fourth of July coming up, it is time for them to find their forever families and join in some of the summer fun.”
People still have to pay for a two-year license, required by city law. That runs $37 for a dog and $27 for a cat if they’re spayed or neutered. Jordan said the rest of the adoption package includes initial vaccinations, deworming, leukemia testing for cats, spay or neuter surgery and a microchip that can identify the animal if it gets lost.
Usually the prices range from $130 to $200.
Jordan said the shelter has seen additional animals this year because more owners moving and leaving their animals, or stay pets aren’t making it back home.
The Seattle Animal Shelter is open for adoptions noon to 6 p.m. both weekend days.
THIS IS SHAMEFUL, BARNETTE. DUMPING ANIMALS IN AN AREA THAT HAS MORE THAN THEY CAN HANDLE.
AGAIN I CHALLENGE YOU TO SHOW THAT THE AREAS YOU ARE DUMPING ON HAVE STOPPED THEIR EUTHANASIA FOR TIME AND SPACE. YOU ARE KILLING ANIMALS, BARNETTE, YOU AND YOUR NON NEW HOPE PARTNERS. KARMA, BB, KARMA.










UPDATE:
Seems BB might be making some kind of response here, interesting I'd say, what do you think?. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pas/2476912622.html  Date: 2011-07-04, 1:02PM PDT

Report Dog Transport Concerns, Unlicensed Dogs/Breeding or Cruelty (Los Angeles City)

Regarding transports, Los Angeles Animal Services does not transport dogs/pets to Canada, however, some of our New Hope Partners may. We have written agreements with our partners for quality control. We do not routinely monitor every aspect of our New Hope Partners' activities beyond making sure that we are provided copies of spay/neuter certificates if the animals leave our shelters on a medical waiver because they can't be altered for medical reasons and New Hope Partners are suppose to provide us with the name and address of their adopters who live in Los Angeles City within about 5 days of the placement. However, if we have reason for concern, we certainly have the authority and obligation to follow up and investigate the concern. The reason for concern must be details and may not be hearsay. You must provide direct and first hand information based on your own knowledge. Information such as the Avid chip number and then we can determine if the dog came from LAAS or even the name of the transporter.


Thank you for helping us help the animals,


Brenda F. Barnette,
General Manager


LA Animal Services (Los Angeles City ONLY)


I do believe that BB is quoted in this article about the transports to Canada. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/l-a-shelter-dogs-transported-to-canada-rescue-or-ruse


“Vancouver group saves hundreds of California dogs from death.” declares a Vancouver Sun headline on January 14, 2011. The article explains that A Better Life Dog Rescue has brought about 200 dogs into Canada, mainly from Los Angeles shelters, for placement in the Lower Mainland. Los Angeles Animal Services General Manager Brenda Barnette is quoted in the article.


It's things like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFf0_fFkU5s (Check out other videos on the side pertaining to transports) that are disturbing and makes one question what is really going on with these transports. The above links show others expressing concerns about transports, those using and participating with transporting. If they are concerned, why isn't Barnette concerned? Do you think it is unethical to pimp more animals into areas that are still euthanizing for time and space?


CONGRATS TO LOUISVILLE, KY FOR SLAMMING THE DOOR IN THE FACE OF "NO KILL"

Good news for sure is the rejection by the City of Louisville of the efforts of "No Kill Louisville" to take over their shelter.

http://www.fox41.com/story/14986192/city-rejects-bid-to-run-metro-animal-services

""Mayor Greg Fischer said the bid by No Kill Louisville did not meet the city's criteria to operate the agency.
Fischer along with Community Building Director Sadiqa Reynolds said No Kill Louisville lacked the management experience necessary to operate the animal shelter, and that its bid asked for $1 million more than the proposed contract.""

Put Louisville in the "did not drink the koolaid" side and now we move on to the next one.

UPDATE:
Louisville is experiencing a distemper outbreak and need dogs to be adopted ASAP to prevent the spread and give them time to clean. Let's see if "No Kill" answers this call. It should be about the animals, we'll see.
http://www.wlky.com/r/28442144/detail.html

UPDATE 2: Well, it appears that the shelter trying to move out the dogs doesn't meet with "No Kill"'s approval. What did I tell you, "No Kill" would not do their share to help these dogs come out of the shelter so they don't have to die from distemper. With "No Kill", it isn't the animals, it's their egos. http://www.whas11.com/news/local/Some-criticize-Metro-Animal-Services-for-adoption-special-on-heels-of-distemper-deaths-125032039.html


""But Jessica Reid with No Kill, an organization that is opposed to animal euthanization, says holding an adoption on the heels of the recent deaths, doesn't sound honest."" Sounds more honest that what you are pushing, Jessica.

BRENDA BARNETTE LOSES THE SUPPORT OF THE ADL-LA!!

THE QUESTION IS: WHY ISN'T THE ADL-LA COMING AFTER HER NOW LIKE THEY DID ALL THE OTHERS?

THE ANSWER IS: BECAUSE THE ADL-LA IS STILL A PUPPET OF NATHAN WINOGRAD!

On June 29th, the ADL-LA, All Desperate Liars, sent out notification that they are "retiring it's No Kill campaign for the City of Los Angeles. THESE FOOLS ACTUALLY THINK WE WOULD BELIEVE THEY ARE "RETIRING" THEIR CAMPAIGN. Sorry, Pamster, but disappointment, frustration, and a slew of other adjectives would have been a better choice of words for what you actually mean. Even you, Pammie, can't deny the truth and for the first time, it appears, you are admitting defeat. Pammie goes on to say that the reason is "we have accomplished all that we can do". Yeah right, with euthanasia on the rise, impounds on the rise, and you are backing away now? Just because you are gullible doesn't mean the rest of us are. 

""Brenda Barnette has made significant changes in LESS than one year of her appointment by the mayor. But here’s the kicker . . . . . ADL-LA now realizes that there are a handful of peoplewithin the humane community of Los Angeles that we are fully convinced would NOT be happy and would find things to complain about even if Jesus Christ himself were to return and run our city shelters! Phyllis Daugherty is on the top of the list, but there are others within the humane community we are sad to report.""

Translated: Our ass has been whipped. Pammie has lost the handful of followers she had and is out there all alone now. There is an indication in this post that some of her own people have turned against her. Another indication that the ADL-LA is supporting the rising euthanization rate, the rising impound rate, and their members are not happy about it. It goes against everything the ADL-LA stands for. 

"We are deeply saddened by the fact that a few of our former supporters have chosen to try and ruin Ms. Barnette for their own irrational and self centered reasons. One who wanted the job herself but didn’t get it is now along with her friends, on the war path to do anything to try and destroy Barnette; even if it means thousands of animals will die in the process." Wonder who that might be? Any guesses?

The ADL-LA goes on to list Barnette's "accomplishments" and it is laughable. Let's see there is the foster program. Go onto the LAAS website and look at the stats. Barnette has had to cover her tracks on the "stolen/missing" dogs from the North Central Shelter so she has put them in the "foster program". In April there were 86 fosters, in May there were none. In the months prior to April, June through March, there were only a total of 34 animals put in foster care. Anyone in their right mind can see through this except, of course, the ADL-LA.

Pammie talks about the "NEW AND USER FRIENDLY" website. Wrong again, the website is far worse than before and definitely not user friendly. http://workingtohelpanimalstodaytomorrow.blogspot.com/2011/04/breeder-barnette-cant-even-get-laas.html
Plus if you are looking for your lost pet, the website has been set up in such a fashion that the first place you go to is the scam of paying up to $1200 to have PetFinders send out postcards. The actual way to look for your lost pet is way down below and most people would get discouraged right off the bat by clicking those useless links regarding making money for Barnette's friends.

Then Pammie brings up the new non profit formed by Barnette in conjunction with her friend from Seattle, Claire Davis. I have posted so much dirt on Davis, just do a search for her name. This includes a letter written to Dow Constantine, the Executive Officer for King County, where Davis states that she tried to deliberately undermine animal control. http://workingtohelpanimalstodaytomorrow.blogspot.com/2010/06/adl-la-are-you-listening.html  Does this sound like someone who is a "friend" of animal control? Not hardly.

Pammie talks about personal changes. Okay, how about the hiring of a man, Mark Salazar, who had such a background that he should have never been hired. Plus veterans of animal control were overlooked to bring in this Sleasy Salazar. http://workingtohelpanimalstodaytomorrow.blogspot.com/2011/01/brenda-barnettes-latest-flunky-mark.html  Sleasy Salazar had five cases of sexual harassment filed against him in the County of Riverside, he packed his bags and went to TX, where he proved to be a failure there as well.

And Pammie actually thinks that Barnette called in the LAPD to investigate those stolen/missing animals, which by the way the greater number came from the shelter under Sleazy Salazar. Then she covers it up after accusing her employees of stealing those dogs by putting the missing ones in the "foster program". Word has it that LAPD contacted LAAS, not the other way around.

And the volunteer program. Just look at what happened when Barnette gave keys and unlimited access to the kennels to the volunteers. That was when all those animals came up missing. 

Pammie even goes so far as to claim that Barnette stopped a Bully Show in Venice. Daniel Guss of the Stand Foundation announced in this week's council meeting that it was him who was responsible for this cancellation, not Barnette.

This ridiculous post from the ADL-LA goes on to tell people to "shut out the problematic people".  This alone should be enough to keep the ADL-LA going but obviously Pammie is showing her fear. 

.  Shut out the problematic people (including those within the department and within the humane community) – isolate and alienate them so that they do not succeed in snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Pammie, read what you wrote, you are concerned that these problematic people can succeed, again why is the ADL-LA backing off when you admit that these people can succeed.

AND here is Pammie admitting that Barnette is being overwhelmed with negative emails. This shows that others are disturbed by the actions of Barnette. If it is only a "handful" why is Barnette spending an "inordinate" amount of time. Shouldn't take but a minute or two per email and a handful of naysayers could not possibly create an inordinate amount of time.

""Don’t allow these troublemakers to distract Barnette from the big picture.  Our sources say that Brenda Barnette is having to spend an INORDINATE amount of time responding to repetitive e-mails from this handful of naysayers.""

Yep, Pammie, the writing is on the wall and being screamed all over LA. Barnette has to go and the sooner the better. Plus, I'll add this personal message to Barnette, DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS ON YOUR WAY OUT!!
