OT: Hounding Ban Awaits Gov.'s Signature--Act Now! - Personal note to Gov. Brown
by Elizabeth Young 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

I am forwarding this in the hope that you will join me in petitioning Governor Brown to sign the bill against hounding animals. See Michele Franko's summary below to see why I think you should support the ban. (She says it better than I could ever hope to.) Thanks, Elizabeth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michele Franko <mfranko21(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 11:43 AM Subject: Fwd: CA: Hounding Ban Awaits Gov.'s Signature--Act Now! - Personal note to Gov. Brown To: Michele Franko <mfranko21(a)gmail.com> Greetings, all - one last push to Mr. Brown to sign the ban into law. The link will take you to a simple, pre-written petition to support the ban, which will go to Mr. Brown. Included here is my personal note to him as well...thank you everyone!! Blessings and peace to all - Michele Mr. Brown: As a CA native and former CA State Humane Officer, my job was to investigate animal welfare, cruelty and neglect complaints. The California Animal Laws Handbook published by the State Humane Association of California breaks out all of the animal-related statutes from all of the CA codes, and if you don't already have this handy, I would suggest you acquire a copy. Allowing this act to continue legally by not supporting the ban would submit to another double-standard for the benefit of a profit/State revenue-making animal-dependent industry. (Horse racing - CHRB - and animals raised for food are historic examples of exemptions from the CA Penal Code section 597 pertaining to animal cruelty). I suggest you review P.C. section 597b(a) - Fighting Animals and Birds - outside of this "sport", anyone committing this act would be in violation of several codes, ranging from Penal Code 597, Fish and Game, possibly State Parks, Health and Safety, to name a few. A humane officer responding to a complaint of this would most likely have Fish & Game, the local sheriff, among others, in tow. Besides the cruelty imposed upon the wildlife, there would be issues regarding the safety, welfare, veterinary care, transport, licensing, vaccination, seizure of the dogs. Then you would have the firearms issue - legal possession or not, discharging, required permits, time of year, proper identification, private property trespassing. Arrests, vehicle and firearms seizures - the list could go on. In short, the act would be illegal. Private property owners who have bear "issues" turn to Fish & Game, so the argument that this is a remedy is an attempt to justify a glorified blood bath in the brutal exploitation of animals by empathy-deficient humans. But put aside the legal and criminal ramifications, and please consider the compassionate, consciously evolved, empathetic, humane and respectful side. Imagine being chased for hours, running and scrambling for your life, doing all you could to stay alive. Imagine the terror, the pain of the shredding of your skin, and being surrounded, trapped, attacked and exhausted, knowing life is about to end. Imagine the dogs, in their frenzied, out of control state, also being ripped, shredded and torn, and/or lost and abandoned with their injuries to die a slow, painful death. All of this in the name of twisted entertainment, entitled tradition - one of the few brutal forms of intentional, malicious cruelty still (hoping to remain) legal. If you can sit through it, I also suggest you watch video of this heinous act. Your decision on whether or not to ban this is simple. This is a clearly defined choice between right and wrong, good and evil, empathy and apathy, with any potential state "revenue" be damned. Please sign with your conscience on behalf of the bears, bobcats, dogs and the wild places which are home to wildlife in our beautiful state, who are at the mercy of your decision. Thank you, Mr. Brown, for your time in considering this vital and crucial issue.

After passing the Assembly with bi-partisan support, S.B. 1221 won final approval by the Senate on August 27, sending the bill to Governor Brown for his consideration. Please—we are so close to victory on this—*we just need you to reach out as soon as possible to Governor Brown to urge him to sign S.B. 1221 into law!<http://click.aspcaemail.org/?qs=e000f191904a776b1c69363daa0a83c00a5ba485dd8…> * A recent article by George Skelton in the *Los Angeles Times* requesting the governor veto this important bill has only intensified the potential for the hound hunters to snatch this victory from us, so the animals need your voice more than ever. *Governor Brown has until the end of September to take action on S.B. 1221, so the bill could be signed—or vetoed—at any time.

Offer: Nest Boxes
by C Dickinson 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hello! I recently changed out my nest boxes and have three used Bunny boxes I would like to offer to anyone in the Bay Area. They all need a good scrub and two need some minor repair, the back and one front was pulled off during the removal. With a few tack nails, the two damaged ones are good to go! They make great nest boxes if spaced apart from each other. Email me for a picture: chezd3(a)yahoo.com Thanks Cheryl

I need any tips on wing rehab you can offer me would be much appreciated!
by tmtengan＠att.net 07 Sep '12

Hi Everyone, I am doing rehab on a bird with a puncture wound (probably from a hawk) on it's "elbow" joint. Besides antibiotics and pain meds, the vet recommended physical therapy and warm compresses. Has anyone out in rescue land done this type of rehab on a bird? If you have, I would love to hear your tips, tricks etc. Thank you so much!! Tania Tengan
