My friends and fans can PISS me off worse than the animal rights activists. Every now and then, I get message that say they are glad for my blog; something they wouldn’t dare do because of fear. They usually go on to add how they just try to stay below the radar, mind their own business, hide. Yo…
I saw a poor little white mouse in a cage, suspended inside a trap, being used as bait for a big snake. If the snake shows up, the poor little mouse is going to be trapped in there while the snake strikes at him repeatedly for goodness only knows how long (hours, days?) before someone comes to get …
In law there are many forms of the game “hide the ball”. Most often, it refers to a discovery of evidence game. One party asks for something and, if they don’t ask “just right”, the other party doesn’t have to cough it up. If you ask for too much, it’s called a fishing expedition and you still do…
"Snow Coming Tuesday... This would be the third time it’s snowed in southeast Texas this season; the last time that happened was in 1973." I've lived in SE Texas off and on since 1988 and believe me when I tell you this is WEIRD and COLD weather we're having this year. At least one dog owner ha…
After winning by getting the case against them dismissed, Feld Entertainment (the parent company of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus) has turned the tables and filed a RICO suit against their former accusers. Just check out this list of defendants:
My admiration for competent, responsible dog breeders is growing exponentially this week!
In mid August, I picked up a stray (probably dumped) dog who'd been wandering near the corner store all day. I took out ads in the local papers hoping she might be lost and her owner would turn up and took her…
I know my fan base so I can't imagine that ANY of you aren't already camped 24/7 on the revived Humane Watch website but, if by some chance you aren't, you should check it out FREQUENTLY. Get over there and catch up and then make it a part of your morning routine. This morning, see "Hey Everybody,…
“Based out of Jefferson, Texas, fourth-generation animal trainer Bob Steele has conducted the show since 1977… ‘Bears have always been my passion. I was playing with my first bear when I was 2 years old,’ he said.” Ah, yes, the good fortune and accident of birth; to be born into a well es…
“Jeff Kozlowski robbed the bank in Dalton WI in the early 1990's and was in prison for the armed bank robbery” Some things catch your attention.
As of about 6 AM, it's 4 degrees in Rock Springs, WI; home of Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue, current or soon to be home of several…
After a bit of catching up, I had to write a third entry this morning. As you know, many of Barbara Hoffman's animals were killed in short order and you'd think from the media that all the great cats will be "saved", sent off to sanctuary somewhere but that may not be so. It appears the "rescuers"…
Here’s my second post of the morning and it’s an important issue for us all, globally.
The choosing of U.S. Global Exotics was no coincidence, of that I am quite sure. There are far more owners of “common” pets than of exotics. We who do not own exotics need to pay close attention and support …
The PETCO sales of U.S. Global Exotics' assets have been called off. Of course, no report of how many of the animals were sold before that but I didn't expect to see one.
I’d like to tell you I have a list of attorneys who can take these animal seizure cases. I don’t.
These quasi-criminal procedures involving live animals are a new animal to legal circles and the vast majority of those with any familiarity at all are on the government side of the docket. An at…
Wild Rescue, Inc. has taken on thousands of the USGE animals from SPCA…
For my second post this morning, I’d like to give some BIG kudos to Barbara Hoffman and Fred Lulling who are being persecuted by Marion County, TX, at this very moment but have declined to be silent during the process. It takes an enormous amount of courage to speak out when you’ve already been …
Today I mourn the suicides of 2 women and ask all who truly care about animals to give this case some thought. May all the deceased in this case, both human and animal, find peace on the other side of the veil and my sympathies go out to the families of these women. We who live on still have much …
USGE reptiles, about 500, are headed for Phoenix. And they should arrive just in time for the BIG annual fund raiser! “This year's theme is Mardi Gras and the party will really be on! With Vegas-Style Gambling Tables, Tarot Card Readings, Auctions, a Grand Prize Raffle and more. Plus, you'll g…
