They just got railroaded. Can you pass along?

For updates on their story, see their blog: http://caboodleranch.livejournal.com/

This is not a hoarding situation. They are a sanctuary along the lines of http://www.bestfriends.org. They need help and are being used as a platform to push legislation through.

They work with a vet, – he visited weekly – along with vet techs, and they all testified at the hearing in support along with other people who go to the ranch often. The judge still ruled against them. This whole thing has been PETA/ASPCA nutty since the beginning.

Please sign the petition and please go to their facebook page – they need ideas, actions, promotion, PR, social media gurus etc. for ny hope of the judge overturning the decision. Maybe it won’t work but not trying is just too sad.

Thanks. I’m not affiliated with the, just someone who really liked their ranch.

Nathan Winograd has been very critical of the Asilomar Accords, because they do NOT protect feral cats and other categories of animals. See:

We advocate for True No-Kill in which the no-kill paradigm by Nathan Winograd is strictly followed, as defined in the Aslimar definitions. Our 5-year campaign outlines three areas in which we will take the True No-Kill movement to the next level, we will protest on a national level regularly; we will take legal action against kill pounds when they break the law in the areas of animal abuse, negligence and incompetence of a municipality and hold elected officials accountable in the political sphere. As a result of our second National Protest, we have put on notice kill pound systems such as NY ACC, Devore in Los Angeles, Pinal County, AZ and Lehigh County in PA that we simply will not tolerate the slaughter of healthy beautiful cats and dogs and are ready and willing to stop them through massive public awareness, and legal and political channels. Please contact me 845 856 7366 to discuss how YOU can help set up a chapter at your local kill pound.

Just today I was called by the ASPCA an extremist and terrorist just because I’m a No Kill advocate and demand Shelter reform.

They are not. They use the ads with the cute sad faces to raise a lot of money. Very little of that money actually goes to local shelters and rescue groups.

The ASPCA, as part of Maddies Fund, posts its statistics on its website:
http://www.aspca.org/aspca-nyc/annual-adoption-center-data.aspx

According to the numbers, the “A” euthanized 134 animals, including Oreo. Not thousands.

I think you are confusing the ASPCA with New York City Animal Care and Control, which is run by the city and DOES euthanize a lot of animals.

And we all only dreamed that Oreo was killed in an ASPCA Shelter in NYC? How many thousand animals does the ASPCA kill in NYC every year?
Both, the HSUS and the ASPCA support the killing of animals, calling us now extremists, terrorsist’s and minions.

My problem with HSUS and ASPCA is that NEITHER group runs shelters (the A has a limited admission shelter (highly adoptable animals – puppy mill seizures and the like) and those deemed adoptable from cruelty cases) in New York City.

So I am not sure how they are euthanizing thousands of animals.
