This  is<br \/>\nthe shelter that some time ago was attacked for being one of the<br \/>\ncruelest in the nation, (allowing dogs to maul each other, killing dogs<br \/>\nthat had rescues or homes lined up, not feeding the animals, etc etc).<br \/>\nThere was also a huge outcry from the public to dismantle their<br \/>\nbarbaric  gas chamber (that went un-inspected for years and basically<br \/>\nTORTURED  the dogs to death) and to stop the other horrors that went on.<br \/>\nTheir  response to the naysayers and the whistle blowers? They sneered<br \/>\nand  killed ALL the dogs \u2013 EVEN THE ONES THAT HAD RESCUES WAITING FOR<br \/>\nTHEM.<\/div>\n<div>Well.

They were  so sick<br \/>\nabout this, so deeply sick and wounded that all these dogs died  as<br \/>\n\u201cretaliation\u201d that they couldn\u2019t go back and help anymore. Did that<br \/>\nmean anything to the shelter workers? No. They don\u2019t CARE people. Do you<br \/>\nthink I\u2019m kidding? Lying? Making this up? Exaggerating? I\u2019m not.<\/div>\n<div>These<br \/>\npeople are easily capable of taking puppies and young, happy, healthy<br \/>\ndogs and murdering them \u2013 dogs that in some cases already had HOMES<br \/>\nwith  loving people waiting for them \u2013 because they were ticked at some<br \/>\nof  the rescue groups for objecting to their inhumane treatment of the<br \/>\nanimals in their \u201ccare\u201d.

You<br \/>\nthink it  is only in the south? Oh no, my dear friends. This has also<br \/>\nhappened to  Pets Alive, with dogs just miles away from us, when we have<br \/>\nempty runs  and homes waiting. How do we stop it? It will stop when we<br \/>\nhave a series  of Oreo\u2019s Law\u2019s in place in every state and it starts<br \/>\nhere in New York.<\/div>\n<div>So back to the wretched Chesterfield shelter.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s some  information I have been gathering from various sources and<br \/>\nwe are  pulling together proof for most of this, although right now it<br \/>\nis mostly  word of mouth from people I trust very much and have seen it<br \/>\nand  experienced it with their own eyes.<\/div>\n<div>In Chesterfield:<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>They<br \/>\nare showing  that 70-90 dogs are being killed each month, yet purchase<br \/>\norders for  lethal injection show enough for just 10 dogs or less each<br \/>\nmonth.

That<br \/>\nis how they are \u201ceuthanizing\u201d.<\/div>\n<div>Prisoners are in charge of care of the animals and are brought in once a day to see to their care. Prisoners. Yes.<\/div>\n<div>Prisoners are routinely left ALONE with the dogs while the ACO\u2019s go to do animal pick ups.<\/div>\n<div>There<br \/>\nis no budget for the animal shelter. It is run solely on donations and<br \/>\nif there is no food donated, the animals are not fed. Yet the budget<br \/>\nallows for the animal control officers to all drive brand new SUV\u2019s.<br \/>\nThere are four of them purchased within the last two years, all brand<br \/>\nnew\u2026but no money to feed the dogs. Please read this one again. The ACO\u2019s<br \/>\ndrive brand new, souped up SUV\u2019s with all the bells and whistles, but<br \/>\nthere is no money to feed the dogs.<\/div>\n<div>There  are local rescue<br \/>\ngroups working and getting the dogs out but multiple  times in the past<br \/>\nyear if they spoke against the shelter, the shelter  euthanized ALL the<br \/>\ndogs \u2013 EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOGS HAD RESCUE. They were  killed as<br \/>\nretaliation for the groups speaking out against the horrid  conditions<br \/>\nand inhumane treatment.<\/div>\n<div>The  sheriff\u2019\u2019s department are the ones<br \/>\nslaughtering the dogs, yet the  sheriff\u2019s department is the group that<br \/>\nis \u201cinvestigating this\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hmm.<\/div>\n<div>Interesting.<\/div>\n<div>So let me get this straight.<\/div>\n<div>I\u2019m a county sheriff.<\/div>\n<div>I am killing dogs by using them for target practice and shooting them in the landfill.<\/div>\n<div>Someone complains.<\/div>\n<div>OK, I\u2019m going to open up a case, assign it to myself and investigate it.<\/div>\n<div>BRILLIANT.<\/div>\n<div>I\u2019m<br \/>\ngonna go ahead and give this a couple of days until the \u201canimal<br \/>\nwhackoos\u201d calm down and then I\u2019m gonna mark this \u201cINVESTIGATED\u201d and no<br \/>\ncharges pending. Yawn. Where\u2019s my beer?<\/div>\n<div>So  what can we do? What<br \/>\ncan YOU do? Most of you have already gathered up  your licensed firearms<br \/>\nand licensed grenades and are in the car heading  down to Chesterfield<br \/>\nto shoot yourself some \u201cdogs\u201d. The HUMAN kind of  dogs, of course, but<br \/>\nstop! I say \u201cnay-nay!\u201d. Get thee back to thy chair.<\/div>\n<div>We are<br \/>\n\u201cpeaceable demonstrators\u201d. Our power is not in violence  (although I\u2019ll<br \/>\nride shot gun with anyone that wants to go and spit in  their driveway),<br \/>\nbut in the power of numbers. Thousands will read this  blog. Thousands<br \/>\nwill pass it on. THAT is where your power is. We need  you to bombard<br \/>\nthis sleepy little town, and this no-account sheriffs  department, and<br \/>\nthis lazy mayor, with your words.<\/div>\n<div>Call them. EVERY day. A few<br \/>\ntimes a day. Tell them that the world  is watching and this is<br \/>\nunacceptable. Send them emails. Flood their  email with your protests.<br \/>\nTell them that this is not the \u201cold boys club\u201d  and that this will not<br \/>\nbe tolerated in OUR nation. That OUR nation  loves our animals and OUR<br \/>\nnation will see an end to these murders and  that while we support no<br \/>\nkill, that if they will not go no kill then  they must be accountable<br \/>\nfor humane euthanasia. Not 10% of the time. But  100% of the time. That<br \/>\nthe murdering of animals that come to them  desperate and in need of<br \/>\nhelp, will not be allowed in OUR nation. That  their old boys club is<br \/>\nclosed, and a new regime of caring animal lovers  is in place. That any<br \/>\nanimal that has a place to go, should be given  that opportunity at<br \/>\nlife.<\/div>\n<div>So use those talking points and email the mayor and the council.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>1. Demand the mayor have a separate group investigate the allegations.<\/div>\n<div>2. Demand the mayor provide a budget for the shelter.<\/div>\n<div>3. Demand the mayor investigate the prisoners left unattended with the animals.<\/div>\n<div>4. Demand routine inspections and reports by an unbiased individual or group, each week, going forward.<\/div>\n<div>5. Demand an accounting of how every animal is euthanized and WHY every animal is euthanized if there is another option.<\/div>\n<div>6. Demand rescue access \u2013 allowing rescues to whisk those animals away to safety.<\/div>\n<div>You can contact him here:<\/div>\n<div><strong>Mayor John Douglas<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<div><strong><\/strong><strong>805 West Main Street.

Thousands will pass it<br \/>\non. THAT is where your power is.

Tell<br \/>\nthem that the world is watching and this is unacceptable. Send them<br \/>\nemails. Flood their email with your protests. Tell them that this is not<br \/>\nthe \u201cold boys club\u201d and that this will not be tolerated in OUR nation.<br \/>\nThat OUR nation loves our animals and OUR nation will see an end to<br \/>\nthese murders and that while we support no kill, that if they will not<br \/>\ngo no kill then they must be accountable for humane euthanasia. Not 10%<br \/>\nof the time. But 100% of the time. That the murdering of animals that<br \/>\ncome to them desperate and in need of help, will not be allowed in OUR<br \/>\nnation. That their old boys club is closed, and a new regime of caring<br \/>\nanimal lovers is in place. That any animal that has a place to go,<br \/>\nshould be given that opportunity at life.<br \/>\nSo use those talking points and email the mayor and the council.<br \/>\n1. Demand the mayor have a separate group investigate the allegations.<br \/>\n2. Demand the mayor provide a budget for the shelter.<br \/>\n3. Demand the mayor investigate the prisoners left unattended with the animals.<br \/>\n4. Demand routine inspections and reports by an unbiased individual or group, each week, going forward.<br \/>\n5. Demand an accounting of how every animal is euthanized and WHY every animal is euthanized if there is another option.<br \/>\n6.

Great Article -SC<\/p>\n<p>So<br \/>\nrecently a group that we have tremendous respect for, and work with<br \/>\nfrequently, contacted us about the Chesterfield, SC shelter. This is the<br \/>\nshelter that some time ago was attacked for being one of the cruelest<br \/>\nin the nation, (allowing dogs to maul each other, killing dogs that had<br \/>\nrescues or homes lined up, not feeding the animals, etc etc). There was<br \/>\nalso a huge outcry from the public to dismantle their barbaric gas<br \/>\nchamber (that went un-inspected for years and basically TORTURED the<br \/>\ndogs to death) and to stop the other horrors that went on. Their<br \/>\nresponse to the naysayers and the whistle blowers? They sneered and<br \/>\nkilled ALL the dogs \u2013 EVEN THE ONES THAT HAD RESCUES WAITING FOR THEM.<br \/>\nWell. That sure taught all those naysayers a lesson, didn\u2019t it?<br \/>\nThe<br \/>\ngroup we work with stopped helping there after that. They were so sick<br \/>\nabout this, so deeply sick and wounded that all these dogs died as<br \/>\n\u201cretaliation\u201d that they couldn\u2019t go back and help anymore. Did that mean<br \/>\nanything to the shelter workers? No. They don\u2019t CARE people. Do you<br \/>\nthink I\u2019m kidding? Lying? Making this up? Exaggerating? I\u2019m not.<br \/>\npuppy2These<br \/>\npeople are easily capable of taking puppies and young, happy, healthy<br \/>\ndogs and murdering them \u2013 dogs that in some cases already had HOMES with<br \/>\nloving people waiting for them \u2013 because they were ticked at some of<br \/>\nthe rescue groups for objecting to their inhumane treatment of the<br \/>\nanimals in their \u201ccare\u201d. Speaks volumes, doesn\u2019t it? And seriously\u2026come<br \/>\non\u2026what MONSTER KILLS PUPPIES???? WHO THE HELL KILLS PUPPIES?? Who the<br \/>\nhell gets up in the morning, goes to work and murders freaking puppies?<br \/>\nESPECIALLY puppies that had rescues waiting to take them in!<br \/>\nOK, so<br \/>\nlet\u2019s get back to the story, and readers, if you think this is the<br \/>\nEXCEPTION to sheltering in this country and this is a RARE case, then I<br \/>\ntell you WAKE UP.<br \/>\nPAY ATTENTION.<br \/>\nGET YOUR DAMN HEAD OUT OF THE DAMN SAND.<br \/>\nThis<br \/>\nis NOT the exception. Crap like this goes on EVERYWHERE and this is one<br \/>\nof the MANY reasons we need Oreo\u2019s Law passed \u2013 to stop this from<br \/>\nhappening by people that don\u2019t care about our animals. People that will<br \/>\nKILL animals to teach other\u2019s a \u201clesson\u201d and smirk while they do it.<br \/>\nTHESE are the people that are running your shelters and they absolutely<br \/>\nMUST be stopped. Not tomorrow, not the next generation, NOW.<br \/>\nPassing Oreo\u2019s Law is the single most important<br \/>\nthing you can do for animals in your life time.<br \/>\nWhy?<br \/>\nBecause once NY gets this law \u2013 all the other states will follow. If<br \/>\nyou want to make an impact for animals NOW, in YOUR generation, then<br \/>\nhelp get this passed. If this was in place then those rescue groups<br \/>\ncould go in there and say \u201cNO, you aren\u2019t murdering this puppy. We are a<br \/>\nrescue group and we are taking this puppy to his new home now. Go away<br \/>\nyou tired little man who murders puppies, you have no power now. The<br \/>\npeople have spoken and they are stopping you.\u201d<br \/>\nBut\u2026alas\u2026.that tired<br \/>\nlittle man can do exactly what he wants. It is perfectly legal for him<br \/>\nto murder animals while rescue groups stand there with their arms<br \/>\nextended and homes waiting. That tired little man (or woman) has<br \/>\nultimate power over life and death to the animals that are down on their<br \/>\nluck and have come to them for help. Have wound up in their shelter and<br \/>\nhave asked for help. They do not get it. They get killed instead.<br \/>\nTHAT<br \/>\nis what happens in these disgusting shelters and what murderous shelter<br \/>\ndirectors across the nation do every day. You think it is only in the<br \/>\nsouth? Oh no, my dear friends. This has also happened to Pets Alive,<br \/>\nwith dogs just miles away from us, when we have empty runs and homes<br \/>\nwaiting. How do we stop it? It will stop when we have a series of Oreo\u2019s<br \/>\nLaw\u2019s in place in every state and it starts here in New York.<br \/>\nSo<br \/>\nback to the wretched Chesterfield shelter. Here\u2019s some information I<br \/>\nhave been gathering from various sources and we are pulling together<br \/>\nproof for most of this, although right now it is mostly word of mouth<br \/>\nfrom people I trust very much and have seen it and experienced it with<br \/>\ntheir own eyes.<br \/>\nIn Chesterfield:<\/p>\n<p>1. They are showing that<br \/>\n70-90 dogs are being killed each month, yet purchase orders for lethal<br \/>\ninjection show enough for just 10 dogs or less each month. What does<br \/>\nthat mean? Aren\u2019t you paying attention? Or are you just having trouble<br \/>\nreally absorbing and believing this? Yes. Truly. I understand. What that<br \/>\nmeans is that the rest are being slaughtered. They aren\u2019t getting a<br \/>\nhumane lethal injection death.<br \/>\nSo just HOW are they being killed?<br \/>\nKeep reading.<\/p>\n<p>(Stop it! You aren\u2019t leaving this page now because the truth is<br \/>\ntoo much for you to stomach. YOU are needed on the front line of this<br \/>\nwar against our animals. You are needed to look, read, understand and<br \/>\nstep up to STOP this. Do not turn your back. Keep reading, I will NOT<br \/>\nsay anything graphic.)<\/p>\n<p>gun<\/p>\n<p>2. The sheriff\u2019s department<br \/>\nlets the dogs loose in the landfill and then uses them for target<br \/>\npractice. That is how they are \u201ceuthanizing\u201d.<br \/>\n3. Prisoners are in charge of care of the animals and are brought in once a day to see to their care. Prisoners. Yes.<br \/>\n4. Prisoners are routinely left ALONE with the dogs while the ACO\u2019s go to do animal pick ups.<\/p>\n<p>5. There is no budget for the animal shelter. It is run solely on<br \/>\ndonations and if there is no food donated, the animals are not fed. Yet<br \/>\nthe budget allows for the animal control officers to all drive brand new<br \/>\nSUV\u2019s. There are four of them purchased within the last two years, all<br \/>\nbrand new\u2026but no money to feed the dogs. Please read this one again.

Who the<br \/>\nhell gets up in the morning, goes to work and murders freaking puppies?<br \/>\nESPECIALLY puppies that had rescues waiting to take them in!<br \/>\nOK, so<br \/>\nlet\u2019s get back to the story, and readers, if you think this is the<br \/>\nEXCEPTION to sheltering in this country and this is a RARE case, then I<br \/>\ntell you WAKE UP.<br \/>\nPAY ATTENTION.<br \/>\nGET YOUR DAMN HEAD OUT OF THE DAMN SAND.<br \/>\nThis<br \/>\nis NOT the exception. Crap like this goes on EVERYWHERE and this is one<br \/>\nof the MANY reasons we need Oreo\u2019s Law passed \u2013 to stop this from<br \/>\nhappening by people that don\u2019t care about our animals. People that will<br \/>\nKILL animals to teach other\u2019s a \u201clesson\u201d and smirk while they do it.<br \/>\nTHESE are the people that are running your shelters and they absolutely<br \/>\nMUST be stopped. Not tomorrow, not the next generation, NOW.<br \/>\nPassing Oreo\u2019s Law is the single most important<br \/>\nthing you can do for animals in your life time.<br \/>\nWhy?<br \/>\nBecause once NY gets this law \u2013 all the other states will follow. If<br \/>\nyou want to make an impact for animals NOW, in YOUR generation, then<br \/>\nhelp get this passed. If this was in place then those rescue groups<br \/>\ncould go in there and say \u201cNO, you aren\u2019t murdering this puppy. We are a<br \/>\nrescue group and we are taking this puppy to his new home now. Go away<br \/>\nyou tired little man who murders puppies, you have no power now. The<br \/>\npeople have spoken and they are stopping you.\u201d<br \/>\nBut\u2026alas\u2026.that tired<br \/>\nlittle man can do exactly what he wants. It is perfectly legal for him<br \/>\nto murder animals while rescue groups stand there with their arms<br \/>\nextended and homes waiting. That tired little man (or woman) has<br \/>\nultimate power over life and death to the animals that are down on their<br \/>\nluck and have come to them for help. Have wound up in their shelter and<br \/>\nhave asked for help. They do not get it. They get killed instead.<br \/>\nTHAT<br \/>\nis what happens in these disgusting shelters and what murderous shelter<br \/>\ndirectors across the nation do every day. You think it is only in the<br \/>\nsouth? Oh no, my dear friends. This has also happened to Pets Alive,<br \/>\nwith dogs just miles away from us, when we have empty runs and homes<br \/>\nwaiting. How do we stop it? It will stop when we have a series of Oreo\u2019s<br \/>\nLaw\u2019s in place in every state and it starts here in New York.<br \/>\nSo<br \/>\nback to the wretched Chesterfield shelter. Here\u2019s some information I<br \/>\nhave been gathering from various sources and we are pulling together<br \/>\nproof for most of this, although right now it is mostly word of mouth<br \/>\nfrom people I trust very much and have seen it and experienced it with<br \/>\ntheir own eyes.<br \/>\nIn Chesterfield:<\/p>\n<p>1. They are showing that<br \/>\n70-90 dogs are being killed each month, yet purchase orders for lethal<br \/>\ninjection show enough for just 10 dogs or less each month. What does<br \/>\nthat mean? Aren\u2019t you paying attention? Or are you just having trouble<br \/>\nreally absorbing and believing this? Yes. Truly. I understand. What that<br \/>\nmeans is that the rest are being slaughtered. They aren\u2019t getting a<br \/>\nhumane lethal injection death.<br \/>\nSo just HOW are they being killed?<br \/>\nKeep reading.<\/p>\n<p>(Stop it! You aren\u2019t leaving this page now because the truth is<br \/>\ntoo much for you to stomach. YOU are needed on the front line of this<br \/>\nwar against our animals. You are needed to look, read, understand and<br \/>\nstep up to STOP this. Do not turn your back. Keep reading, I will NOT<br \/>\nsay anything graphic.)<\/p>\n<p>gun<\/p>\n<p>2. The sheriff\u2019s department<br \/>\nlets the dogs loose in the landfill and then uses them for target<br \/>\npractice. That is how they are \u201ceuthanizing\u201d.<br \/>\n3. Prisoners are in charge of care of the animals and are brought in once a day to see to their care. Prisoners. Yes.<br \/>\n4. Prisoners are routinely left ALONE with the dogs while the ACO\u2019s go to do animal pick ups.<\/p>\n<p>5. There is no budget for the animal shelter. It is run solely on<br \/>\ndonations and if there is no food donated, the animals are not fed. Yet<br \/>\nthe budget allows for the animal control officers to all drive brand new<br \/>\nSUV\u2019s. There are four of them purchased within the last two years, all<br \/>\nbrand new\u2026but no money to feed the dogs. Please read this one again. The<br \/>\nACO\u2019s drive brand new, souped up SUV\u2019s with all the bells and whistles,<br \/>\nbut there is no money to feed the dogs.<br \/>\n6. There are local rescue<br \/>\ngroups working and getting the dogs out but multiple times in the past<br \/>\nyear if they spoke against the shelter, the shelter euthanized ALL the<br \/>\ndogs \u2013 EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOGS HAD RESCUE. They were killed as<br \/>\nretaliation for the groups speaking out against the horrid conditions<br \/>\nand inhumane treatment.<br \/>\n7. The sheriff\u2019\u2019s department are the ones<br \/>\nslaughtering the dogs, yet the sheriff\u2019s department is the group that is<br \/>\n\u201cinvestigating this\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<br \/>\nInteresting.<br \/>\nSo let me get this straight.<br \/>\nI\u2019m a county sheriff.<br \/>\nI am killing dogs by using them for target practice and shooting them in the landfill.<br \/>\nSomeone complains.<br \/>\nOK, I\u2019m going to open up a case, assign it to myself and investigate it.<br \/>\nBRILLIANT.<br \/>\nI\u2019m<br \/>\ngonna go ahead and give this a couple of days until the \u201canimal<br \/>\nwhackoos\u201d calm down and then I\u2019m gonna mark this \u201cINVESTIGATED\u201d and no<br \/>\ncharges pending. Yawn. Where\u2019s my beer?<br \/>\npuppySo what can we do? What<br \/>\ncan YOU do? Most of you have already gathered up your licensed firearms<br \/>\nand licensed grenades and are in the car heading down to Chesterfield to<br \/>\nshoot yourself some \u201cdogs\u201d. The HUMAN kind of dogs, of course, but<br \/>\nstop! I say \u201cnay-nay!\u201d. Get thee back to thy chair.<br \/>\nWe are \u201cpeaceable<br \/>\ndemonstrators\u201d. Our power is not in violence (although I\u2019ll ride shot<br \/>\ngun with anyone that wants to go and spit in their driveway), but in the<br \/>\npower of numbers. Thousands will read this blog. Thousands will pass it<br \/>\non. THAT is where your power is. We need you to bombard this sleepy<br \/>\nlittle town, and this no-account sheriffs department, and this lazy<br \/>\nmayor, with your words.<br \/>\nCall them. EVERY day. A few times a day. Tell<br \/>\nthem that the world is watching and this is unacceptable. Send them<br \/>\nemails. Flood their email with your protests. Tell them that this is not<br \/>\nthe \u201cold boys club\u201d and that this will not be tolerated in OUR nation.<br \/>\nThat OUR nation loves our animals and OUR nation will see an end to<br \/>\nthese murders and that while we support no kill, that if they will not<br \/>\ngo no kill then they must be accountable for humane euthanasia. Not 10%<br \/>\nof the time. But 100% of the time. That the murdering of animals that<br \/>\ncome to them desperate and in need of help, will not be allowed in OUR<br \/>\nnation. That their old boys club is closed, and a new regime of caring<br \/>\nanimal lovers is in place. That any animal that has a place to go,<br \/>\nshould be given that opportunity at life.<br \/>\nSo use those talking points and email the mayor and the council.<br \/>\n1. Demand the mayor have a separate group investigate the allegations.<br \/>\n2. Demand the mayor provide a budget for the shelter.<br \/>\n3. Demand the mayor investigate the prisoners left unattended with the animals.<br \/>\n4. Demand routine inspections and reports by an unbiased individual or group, each week, going forward.<br \/>\n5. Demand an accounting of how every animal is euthanized and WHY every animal is euthanized if there is another option.<br \/>\n6. Demand rescue access \u2013 allowing rescues to whisk those animals away to safety.<br \/>\nYou can contact him here:<br \/>\nMayor John Douglas<br \/>\n805 West Main Street.
