Daily Humane Bites #9: Michael Vick (*shakes head in disgust*)

Daily clippings culled from all over the electronic news world. (E-mail me with submissions for tomorrow.)

Also, we're on "Fundraising Watch" today: How long will it be before HSUS asks for money to rescue the dogs displaced by this weekend's Chilean earthquake? (And will HSUS actually show up?)

folks, we need to stay on top of these updates and make commentary when necessary to the subjects of the posts.  Nebraska thinks they have nothing to fear- when they obviously are not realizing what is happening in Ohio right under their noses.
we need to keep repeating the message until it everyone who reads it understands it.
I blogged the following to Michael Vick’s site- maybe, just maybe, he will listen.

I’m responding today to Mr Vick’s comment at New Horizon’s Academy of Excellence that his “actions speak louder than words”.

May I suggest a way to prove this?

Mr Vick should immediately cease his relationship with The Humane Society Of the United States. This deceptively named group raises money using pathetic images of abused and neglected pets, only to give a mere one half of one percent of their vast income to hands on companion animal care. They falsely claimed to have possession of Mr Vick’s dogs when they did not, and openly advocated for the immediate destruction of the animals. Many, I was pleased to hear, were able to be rehabilitated and are enjoying their lives to the fullest. They did this without any help or support from HSUS, but instead from real rescue organizations and individuals.

Mr Vick, I implore you to stop collaborating with the very people who used your name and your situation to open the wallets of America- to line their own pockets. Stand up and show the world you will not associate with those who will smile and lie to the cameras while planting a knife in the backs of animals in need. I applaud you for attempting to set the matter right, in redirecting our youth and your own life. That takes courage. Do you have enough to expose HSUS for what they really are- a greedy lobbyist organization that would rather see all of these animals dead than fed.

I remain hopeful.

Here’s hoping Purina reads the K-State Collegian!

Re: Wisconsin…...since the animal rights’ goal is to eliminate animals as “property” by taking out an entire phrase or paragraph that refers to *returning animals to owners* upon acquittal/non conviction—this clearly indicates the intent to deprive owners of their property.

In CA last year, legislature passed (but Gov veto’d) a law which CRIMINALIZED selling of an animal outside, by claiming it was “abuse.” However—it was claimed NOT to be “abuse” if a rescue or Humane society did it. Nevertheless, those attempting to display/rehome animals, or meeting to transfer animals would have been guilty of “abuse” under this illegal law.

Most people didn’t even bother to understand the awful legal ramifications.  For more than 6 years now, we have done nothing but tell people how bad the animal rights laws are legally. We are hopeful that this site will give a wider audience to that truth.

I’m amazed the Bakersfield Californian printed that email. They are usually excessively AR!
