They live far away (in many cases other states away), have never been to the shelter, make wild accusations, tell bold face lies, and yet not having any facts or direct observations, are experts on the subject of the shelter. <br /><br />They just don't realize how much actual damage they are doing. Or do they??? If they make the shelter sound so terrible, the public won't come to get an animal. Then they can direct the public to THEIR rescue groups, who charge hundreds of dollars for the same animals they get from the shelter for free...... Who says they are not in it for a buck....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284766606860228880.post-51919446672448765302012-12-18T08:29:12.741-08:002012-12-18T08:29:12.741-08:00He's bucking for something, do you expect him ...He's bucking for something, do you expect him to make waves with these activists. His little plan would incur the wrath of many for spending money on "animals" rather than humans. <br /><br />Yes, he should investigate these transports, especially the one where the transporter isn't even allowed to pull from shelters she is so bad. I have a blog post on her on this blog.

Just some questions and comments, as this is the only way I know to contact you.<br /><br />This has nothing to do with this section, but have you seen the shirts regarding the animals and "I died today". If not, here is a link from facebook. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=227296444067727&set=a.227293897401315.56355.100003621203164&type=3&theater<br /><br />One thing to notice, first the activist complain about the 'quality' of the photos from the Devore Shelter. Now that Devore has tried something new, they use those new colorful photos on this shirt. And if you read thru the facebook posting from the person selling the shirts, they clearly say any profits go to make more shirts. Nothing to help the animals.<br /><br />Thank you for your time and I enjoy reading your blog. <br /><br />Another thing, there is someone (Paul something) that wants to be appointed Sheriff. He has stated if appointed, he would assign a full time deputy to investigate only animal crimes and the animal shelters. You might want to look into this guy as well. He seems to have his priorities out of wack. I thought the sheriff investigate crimes like murder, rape, assault, etc. The Grand Jury investigates Government. And the Grand Jury was just thru the Devore Shelter and found nothing wrong.<br />Maybe if this guy was serious, he would go after the rescues and transporters who stuff as many animals as they can into a vehicle as they get paid on a per animal charge. Just contact the San Bernardino Humane Society and ask about the vehicle chase they got into with one of these transporters when the transporter had a van full of animals and was seen driving 100+ MPH on the freeway trying to get away from the humane society. Just think of what what would have happened to those animals if they had been involved in an accident at those speeds.<br /><br />thanks again for your blog.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284766606860228880.post-63091921844033577852012-12-18T08:00:04.044-08:002012-12-18T08:00:04.044-08:00Good comment, Anon:54 And I too have heard and s...Good comment, Anon:54 And I too have heard and seen the same. See how these activists are actually doing harm? They are so clueless as to their role in causing animals to die. They are the culprits, not Devore, not Doug Smith. <br /><br />If you notice these silly petitions they start, the writer of these petitions are always from far, far away.Friends Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04186180027314619778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284766606860228880.post-67891347442462208982012-12-18T07:54:43.383-08:002012-12-18T07:54:43.383-08:00Just read fromthe no kill playbook.
One of the ...Just read fromthe no kill playbook. <br /><br />One of the things it recommends is to frustrate the staff and management. Imagine someone (an activist) coming to the shelter and moving or re-moving kennel cards, then complaining about a situation they created.<br /><br />I have stood at the counter and listened to the staff have to spend minutes (when I say minutes, I mean 15-20 minutes) on a single call, going thru what seems like each and every animal in the shelter. Now I am only hearing one side of the conversation, but it seems like the callers are just verifying how 'long' an animal will be at the shelter. I kept hearing the staff say, that dog has a networkers name listed thru (date). Other calls I have had to wait on were 'networkers' calling, listing their names on animals that just came in that day or the day before. When sitting in the lobby, I heard one of workers make the comment the 'networkers' list their names, then call for extensions making the statement 'they just became aware of that animal' then no one ever showing up.<br /><br />One time I commented to the staff after one of these calls, the caller must really love animals and asked how many the caller has adopted? I was told the caller was from the east coast and has never been to the shelter.<br /><br />Now I ask, how does posting kennel cards help this???<br /><br />Now tell me<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284766606860228880.post-88619648791933781022012-12-15T03:58:10.490-08:002012-12-15T03:58:10.490-08:00I agree, I only look briefly at the kennel cards a...I agree, I only look briefly at the kennel cards and certainly don't make any decisions from it before talking with staff. Don't they realize that Devore has outside kennels, not exactly conditions for blowing kennel cards getting wet in the rain. I guess these activists think using staff time for these cards is good when these activists should be thinking of ways for staff to spend more time with the animals instead. My question is do any of these complainers ever go into shelters? Then why do they come up with the things they come up with if they actually do go to shelters. My experience says they are doing more harm than good with these types of complaints. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
