NO KILL, NATHAN WINOGRAD, AND THE WHOLE KIT AND CABOODLE

Once again "No Kill" has reared it's ugly head and right on the verge of the SB 818 which would allow more of this particular behavior. It took all day for me to compose myself enough to do this post after seeing the pictures from this "No/Slow Kill" sanctuary in Florida. This isn't the first time either for a large cat "No Kill" sanctuary to go down and it won't be the last.

Only a short while ago, this sanctuary was being proclaimed all over. A wonderful place of 30 acres where cats lived a leisurely life.

Caboodle Ranch was eye candy for the national media, shaded paths, ponds, rows of brightly-painted cathouses and treehouses- a mini-kitty city where cats could presumably while away their time lounging in the Florida sun.
On his website Grant describes the property as a "permanent sanctuary for cats who have been kicked around by heartless people." He states all the cats are up-to-date on vaccinations and get seen regularly by a vet.
The reality was very different, according to investigators.


And who rode in on a white horse to save these cats? Not Nathan Winograd, the organization he despises, PETA. Without their investigation, these cats would still be suffering under the house of "No Kill".

Yes, Florida this is only an example of what the FARA will do for you.

BRENDA BARNETTE: THE WITCH ON A WITCH HUNT

Actually I would prefer to use the initials of BB instead of "W"itch. Yes, indeed this woman is destroying LA Animal Services and all the while the Mayor is more interested in gaining the gay vote than in animal services.

Two animal control commissioners have resigned lately, both closely connected to Barnette. One was voting on issues of reducing fines on unlicensed dogs and all the while, this broad was breaking the law herself with unlicensed dogs. The other, well, she probably resigned to take over the ADL-LA with her extremely close association with it.

All the senior officers with all their experience was put on administrative leave and from the looks of it, it was not warranted. This article is a long read, but extremely well researched and documented. When you finished reading, call the Mayor's office and demand that Barnette be given her walking papers.

Thanks to Phyllis Daugherty for her never ending crusade for the LA animals. And I encourage everyone to contact the Mayor to end this reign of terror. Mark.Szabo@lacity.org, the Mayor's assistant, would love to hear from you.

DELAWARE CAPA: A MAJOR LESSON IN FAILURE, NATHAN WINOGRAD

This is an excellent blog with links to show how miserable animals are now in Delaware. Is Nathan popping his chubby cheeks up there to see what the problems are? Of course not, he always has his flimsy excuse that no one is following his program EXACTLY!

http://delawarecapa.blogspot.com/

Misery for those needing to be relieved of their suffering but used instead for the collection of donations and to feed the souls of the "Saviors". Breeding in these "No Kill" rescues allowed.

I look forward to the day when the name of Nathan Winograd is reviled and spit upon.

THE NEVER ENDING STORY OF THE CRUELTY OF "NO KILL"

Another one bites the dust. First let's hear from the "rescuer".

http://www.wpsdlocal6.com/news/local/Women-charged-with-animal-cruelty-speaks-out-139400498.html


Lacewell is adamant, saying she wasn't responsible for the dog's bad health, explaining that some of the dogs had come from puppy mills and she was in the process of rehabing them.(IF YOU AREN'T RESPONSIBLE THEN WHO IS??)
She also showcased where the dogs were kept, saying at times things did get a little messy but she always cared for her animals properly.(MESSY? YOU WANT TO CALL IT MESSY?)
"When I got off work, I would come in and usually clean, feed, water and play with them until 4 in the morning," said Lacewell.  (LOOKS LIKE YOU DID MORE PLAYING THAN ANYTHING ELSE!)
Now let's hear what the police had to say about the "messy" "No Kill" shelter.
Authorities say at least 100 dogs have been found alive while multiple dogs were found dead.
Since when do you count dead dogs as being messy? "No Kill" strikes again.

LA CONTROLLER SLAMS ANIMAL SERVICES FOR MISSING EQUIPMENT AND MONEY

Controller Greuel finally completed her audit of LA Animal Services. Now this can read both ways. BUT, if you understand the political nature of this, it reads pretty much one way, Breeder Barnette has a lot of explaining to do


http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/controller-slams-animal-services-for-missing-equipment-and-money.html

Usually I do excerpts from articles but there's just too much here. Many of the mentioned things I have done previous posts on. I was speaking with a friend about this and we both agree that Barnette should have come in and have been able to overcome all these things within the almost two years she has been on the job. These are just plain management problems, and should have been her first priorities. She screwed around on the licensing issue, taking ACOs from the field to walk door to door like vacuum salesmen, when there were other methods that would achieve better results.

Now to beat the band, Terri Macellaro has resigned from the LA Animal Services Commission. This really has me shaking my head. A better thing could not happen with Macellaro's baggage, literally and figuratively. I think she is going to make a run for Barnette's job. Barnette must be a big disappointment for the ADL-LA and Macellaro. I'd say things should start getting interesting soon.

This is the second commissioner to resign lately.


Ruthanne Secunda, a Hollywood talent agent and president of Much Love Animal Rescue, quit early this month after she was accused of failing to license her three dogs, then voting to cut penalties for owners of unlicensed dogs. She later volunteered to pay five years of licensing fees, with penalties.


I bet Ed Boks is laughing his face off at LA right now. If it weren't so sad, I would be laughing with him. 

"NO KILL"/HOARDING, HOARDING/"NO KILL", INTERCHANGE EASILY

Yet another one bites the dust. Okay, Nathan, let's hear the overused excuse how they didn't follow your program exactly. Can anyone follow your program exactly? Wonder if they learned from Tompkins County just down the road a piece?

http://www.wkbw.com/news/local/Wyoming-County-SPCA-Raided-by-State-Police-139406478.html

ATTICA, NY (WKBW) - Multiple complaints and 2 weeks of investigating led New York State Police to raid the SPCA of Wyoming County in Attica and its satellite adoption center at the Eastern Hills Mall Wednesday.
The Wyoming County SPCA is a no kill shelter and some volunteers say close to 250 cats were living inside the Attica location. Police aren't commenting on the exact conditions inside but said the sheer volume of animals caused a filthy environment.
"Deplorable does not accurately describe it," said New York State Police Captain Steve Nigrelli.
Hey, Captain Nigrelli, that's "No Kill", blinded by the deplorable conditions because of drinking Nathan Winograd's koolaid.

ANIMALS SKINNED ALIVE TO MAKE BOOTS FOR TIA TORRES

Watching her show on the Pimping for Pits channel tonight, not because I want to either, Tia mentions how she intends to wear a pair of Uggs to a wedding. Don't ask. She had on a pair of Uggs. My God, doesn't that woman own a hair brush?

http://www.opposingviews.com/i/society/animal-rights/graphic-pictures-and-video-raccoon-dogs-skinned-alive-make-fake-ugg-boots

In my opinion, Tia is probably a cheap woman and buys the imitation Uggs but whether she does or doesn't, these animals are being skinned alive because of Uggs. I bet she buys stock in the horse meat trade probably. After all, she didn't think twice about selling women, why should she care about horse meat, meat is meat to her.
