There are still about 35 cats/kittens (and these are mostly kittens under a year old) that need rescue commitment. We all know their fate if they stay in a kill shelter. Here's the plea from the owner (Weatherford, TX is a few miles west of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex):
"There is absolutely no excuse for not being able to get the dog down. What a POS!"
Little Sadie jumped in the water. Her 64 year old owner went in after her and, when he struggled, his 61 year old wife (who could not swim) went in after him. Sadie, like Missy on the mountain, survived. Sadie's own…
Many of you are considering how to respond to the APHIS proposal. In doing so, have you stopped to consider from whence the AWA came?
"the stolen pet never made it upstate. Pepper had been sold instead to a research hospital... Resnick introduced a dog-napping bill... wanted government licensing for …
We see it all the time in allegations of animal abuse. The animals were in "deplorable conditions" and it was "FILTHY" and the animals are just "infested" with... (you name it, they've got it all). And every time I see it, my response is: Yeah, AND??? So what? Are the animals reasonably healthy? The…
No evidence she was attacked by an "enemy"?
Time sheets altered?
"Wait 'till you see what her emails reveal."

For $19.00 a month, you too can help HSUS hire more lawyers to promote killing animals...

HSUS: PETA in suits with deodorant.
Ms. Jennifer Gaut was one of the three attorneys who represented the Gracias in their civil forfeiture cases in Harris County and is representing them on appeal from the second judgment. Their animals are gone but the fight goes on and, as she and I have often discussed, we know the public does not…
Were all of the AlphaTex animals cruelly treated? NO. Were ANY of the AlphaTex animals cruelly treated? NO. So says a unanimous jury. Today, in west Texas, a team won a huge victory for all of us, human and animal. But this fight is far from over and YOUR help is now needed.
I just attempted to post a link to a blog on this topic to Facebook only to be informed that the item has been flagged as "spam" which is most certainly is not. Please share through your email contacts as FB is blocking a fine blogger!

Most animal seizure/forfeiture cases begin with Trespassing and end with Conversion. They start with activists who have recruited law enforcement to aid them in invading one's privacy and home, often dragging the media along and allowing them to also freely traipse into your home. This was the top…
The recent Medlen decision has once again raised the issue of how to put a dollar value on an animal. If you do a bit of internet searching the popular belief you will find is that a dog is worth its replacement value which is alleged to generally be about $50; that it has always been thus in Ameri…
Time and again the media traipses in with the "authorities" to take pictures and video and broadcast it to support their sensationalized versions of events. Yesterday, KCBD was sued and for doing just that and, today, their defense is "no one told us to leave". WELLLLL, no one has to do that. Si…
Hey, you scuzzy thieves. You have dogs that belong, per Texas property law and the US Constitution, to Ashley. GIVE THEM BACK.
I am sick to death of people who claim to be in "rescue" who go around thieving loved, owned, cared for animals from owners on any flimsy excuse and/or false accusation …
Is this your lost puppy? If so, Ann C. Harlan has her somewhere in Texas and has recruited the fans at Pawsitively Texas on FB (who indicates this puppy is in the Houston area) to help her find your dog a NEW home.
The photo above was posted by Ann C. Harlan on July 1, 2011, on Facebook so she's …
Houston Humane Society (HHS) KILLS 86% of the animals taken into their shelter. Well, that was their kill rate before the economy soured and they increased their RAIDER activities. Yesterday, through a settlement agreement between Harris County, HHS, and an owner from whom they had seized nearly 2…
If you were shoved, even poked, by someone 10 feet tall and weighing 1500 pounds, would you consider that offensive? I damned sure would, even considering it a criminal battery, but it's become a common occurrence that is often lauded by the public.
Nearly 150 years ago, there was a hunting dog shot by a neighbor. The dog's owner sued (and won). Here is part of what the owner's attorney said in closing argument to the jury.
Kudos to KHOU in Houston. Wish this had been posted yesterday (or periodically since the cold weather began) and it's not perfect BUT they get huge KUDOS from me for putting the pets above plants & pipes and making a serious effort at useful information!
