Touched by people this week

Hello all....In the past few weeks it has been a very stressful journey. That journey has a long way to go. Our global fight on animal abuse and tougher laws is just in the beginning stages. On Sunday evening around 10pm I heard the President had something to say and of course was glued to the TV... When I saw that the US had killed the man who was responsible for the 911 attacks when I was living in NY I was elated. Not because this person was dead but because once again I saw that Americans were on the same page. It was the one thing living through 911 in the city that gave me hope in humanity. People of all walks of life were working together and caring for one another. Over time that faded. Years later we were back to our political differences and concern for ourselves. I know that it isn't an animal story but in my book he was an animal and I felt the need to express my gratitude not just to our Navy seals but to people coming together to appreciate one another again...

Two days into this week and already animal abuse has been crazy. Here in MD we had the seizure of 133 neglected horses. This is a small town and we take abuse serious. I live here! I am the "activist" for the town so to speak. It is disturbing but I can say that our wonderful states attorney is working with the HSUS and we will see where our next steps will lead us.

Today images of a man stomping on a dogs head and beating him then dragging him to the back yard surfaces. This was one of the saddest displays of legal work to me. A person a caring heroic person took pictures of the violence happening. When she called the police they were less then concerned. She turned to Facebook and then it spread to twitter. I felt so proud of the way people jumped up and handled this. Yes this is a NY case but in my world it is an Animal case. My mission will and always will be to help animals near and far. Time to time I start to lose a little faith in the human race but today it was restored if just for a few moments. We will come together for this dog who I have renamed "Freedom" He needs his Freedom and his accuser must be punished. The lack of concern from the police and others make it really easy for animal abuse to continue. We have to take action NOW. If you turn a blind eye or wish for change while not the abuse you are part of the equation...

Patrick...Dear Patrick.. A big day is coming up on Friday and just like today we have all come together to make sure that this "Person" serves time. We may have had heated moments at time over various Patrick issues but in the long run we all do want the same thing. We want these things not just for you but others like you.

I leave you with this...Remember one does make a difference. One fax, One Email, One Like, One vote, One Follow, On signature on a petition. That means YOU matter. Please don't think that a small action by you doesn't matter. It matters more then you can imagine. Please lets continue this journey as a team a large global team. Like a family we may have brief disagreements but just like family we have each others back.. I know I do.

Lots of love an appreciation for any an all people involved in helping our animals..
