I need your help!
« on: November 10, 2012, 11:41 AM »
Ok, here's the deal. I hope this is ok to post and share here. If not please remove it and ban FRENCHY not me bc she said it was.  :D

Earlier this week in Virginia (where I live) a lab puppy was shot three times and killed by a local animal control officer. Since then two news stations in my area have picked up the story and people are coming out of the woodwork and the truth is coming out about this guy. He is not someone who should be in this line of work and after his actions this week people are extremely upset. Because it's not the first time he's done something like this.

Please if you have a few moments check out the facebook page about it and also here are the two news articles. The comments on the news pages are very telling.

Also on the facebook page you can click the link to go sign a petition to hopefully get this man removed from his position.

I do not know this man personally, nor do I live in that county. But I know someone who does and I've already heard things from her things that he has done that she has witnessed firsthand.

Not everyone will be an animal lover nor be supportive of animal rights. But at the very least you should have some sense of compassion and respect towards them, especially if it is your JOB to protect.

This really is a bigger story than just a dog being shot. Any and all support is appreciated.

Thanks for your time :)

This is so sad! It's great that you're getting the word out on it. I'll go check out the links you provided and look up the petition. That's just awful!

As of this morning the petition now has 347 signatures! I shared the link to Axel's FB page on several local veterinary FB pages aswell as a bunch of animal rights/shelter pages. I was on a roll yesterday. lol I think a lot of people are doing the same. It's so nice to see.

Thanks to those who have signed! :) I just looked at there are now 561 signature. The local media told us they are looking into this story further. So I am hopeful it will get more exposure and some real change can come from this tragic loss to poor Axel's family.

Just a quick update -

The petition now has over 1000 signatures. The story of the petition and the community coming together over this made the top news story on a local station here last night.

We are hearing rumors that the ACO has been suspended but this is not confirmed yet.

Thanks to everyone here who signed and supported Axel's family!
