People say they love animals and WISH they can help, well, I would like to tell every one how fairly easy it is to help a GREAT deal. Simply sign petitions, or when the need arises, send an e-mail. When animal lovers find out a company is practicing cruelty to animals, our favorite word is “BOYCOTT”. Stop using their products, this hits them where it hurts because obviously they care more about money than they do about the act of being “Humane”. Unfortunately with them-compassion walks while money talks. EXAMPLE: in 2008, we came across an article stating a hotel was housing a convention for doctors demonstrating their new equipment on live pigs, when surely there were more compassion methods they could use than showing off on something living and breathing. We posted bulletins, left comments with phone #’s and email addresses of the hotel and tell them they will never stay there because of what they where supporting, cruelty. I am NOT JOKING, in 1 1/2 days, the hotel recieved OVER 4,000 phone calls and emails…guess what? they canceled the convention! The same I find with politics…votes…money…boycott, all the same. TRUST ME I KNOW, this works on anybody. They receive thousands of e-mails in a short time with unhappy ppl, they DO LISTEN.

A similar example is also almost 2 years ago, I was browsing craigslist and came across a woman BEGGING for help. She put her 8 y/o poodle in a boarding kennel so she can have surgery. Instead of 2 weeks, she remained for 9 weeks. Upon return, the kennel refused to release her pooch unless she paid in full…the bill was like 2, 000 dollars. When she finally came up with this amount, the bill went higher, now at 4, 200 dollars. WTF!? she was on disability! I called this elderly sweet lady, and she melted on the phone. Now mind you…she was in NY, and I am in Fl… I got her info, then proceeded to phone the kennel. HA, the owner refereed me to her lawyer asap, I stated I am here for the dog, and not the woman, I am the dog’s voice. She’s like “oh” then, like I’m her “buddy” tells me the “owner” did not go to the hospital, she went to the Bahamas, lol, and now she was homeless and refused to release the poodle to a homeless person. (like that really matters anyway) .I listened, then called the other back right away. lol, She emailed me her statements from the hospital, and a letter from her land lord. I started a petition, had a friend in NY contact the news station, a day later it was on the news a day later. Oh! and the day before the news…the actor Danny Trejo’s wife contacted me Debbie, (she runs a rescue k9compassion) and offered to pay the bill so the dog can go home. I immediately called the kennel to tell them the news of the bill being paid and who was going to pay it. SHE LIT UP with excitement, and said, oh…well….the bill went up! I says…oh, ok, here, fax me the bill and she did because of her greed (dumbass). That became evidence. Okay, so a day later, it’s on the news, the news shows my petition with THOUSANDS of signatures world wide (dang I love the internet) and a copy of the bill she faxed me, lol, the news spread her name and business like wild fire, lol, we already had a civil, or was it small claims curt date set up, and two days after that we already had a date with the STATE SUPREME court. I had my friend round up animal ppl to show up at court with signs and to sit behind and support the poodle inside court, my friend Kay helped the case enormously. The kennel lady buckled, gave back the dog with no money owed AS LONG AS WE STOP THE PUBLICITY! and the funniest thing is…what everyone I go against says….”I don’t know who you are” no you don’t, cause I don’t matter…
