Toombs County, GA<\/strong> – Support has continued to mount for Alice, or “L’il Mama” <\/a>as her owners refer to her – late last week, her story hit the national media.<\/div>\n
On Friday, Scott Bennett, Director of the rescue organization
\nSouthern Comfort Animal Rescue, was interviewed by Jane Velez-Mitchell –
\ncorrespondent for CNN<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
Bennett was able to share Alice’s story and highlight the reasons
\nthat this fight is so important. It’s more than “just one dog” that is
\nbeing fought for.<\/div>\n
It is a fight for justice. It is a fight to bring about change for
\nabused dogs in Georgia – for that matter, across the nation. Justice for
\nAlice would be a symbolic win for all dogs that are treated inhumanely.<\/div>\n
Bennett has secured a permit from Toombs County to hold a peaceful rally at the Toombs County Courthouse<\/a> on March 16.<\/div>\n
Supporters for Alice are hopeful that many people will show up and
\nvoice their support for Alice and for other dogs that have been treated
\ninhumanely by their owners.<\/div>\n
The rally is being held between 4-5:30 at the Toombs County Courthouse,<\/strong> 100 Courthouse Square, Lyons, GA on March 16.<\/div>\n
Over 25,000 people have signed the “Save Alice, AKA the dog in the box” petition<\/a>. Signatures meant to show the officials in Toombs County that people do<\/em>
\ncare. People do want to see changes put in place for animal welfare. If
\nyou have not yet signed the petition, please take a moment to do so.<\/div>\n
Alice would still be in that deplorable 5×8 ft box if she had not
\nbeen discovered. Her world would still consist of filtered sunlight
\nthrough meager wooden slats. Years of accumulated feces and urine would
\nstill be under her feet and her water and food would still be sitting
\namong the filth.<\/div>\n
Years of living in these conditions should not be discounted.
\nPressure should not let up. There is absolutely no reason to believe
\nthat the people that own Alice, or “L’il Mama” will not let her chain
\nlink kennel morph into yet another filthy prison as soon as the eyes of
\nthe world look away.<\/div>\n
When the temperatures rise in this southern state as the summer months approach, what will happen to Alice? How long will she suffer in the intense heat<\/a> as the sun beats down on the kennel that provides no shelter?<\/div>\n
Please continue to show your support for Alice. If you are in the
\narea of Toombs County, please put the peaceful rally date on your
\ncalendar.<\/div>\n
