PLEASE READ!!! - Out Of Control Breeder In Texas

Sun Jul 9, 2006, 2:46 PM
I got this from WOLF, PLEASE READ IT AND HELP THESE ANIMALS!

The following information came to us from Peta’s Action Center. Link:

All may not be as soft and cuddly at Starcross Wolves as the breeding outfit's Web site indicates. According to nearby residents in Kaufman County, Texas, this operation's wolf hybrids are regularly seen and heard fighting viciously and ganging up on each other with little or no human intervention. Dogs are reportedly injured, often fatally, in these frequent altercations, and our callers claim that the owner shows little concern. We're told that the property is periodically littered with carcasses.
An hour's worth of video footage—reportedly secured by outraged
neighbors—has left PETA caseworkers horrified and appears to
corroborate their alarming claims. For your viewing convenience, we have edited this video footage down to a 9-minute clip. We issue a cautionary warning about the graphic nature of this video footage, yet we encourage everyone to view it so that you can better understand the situation.

Please click here to view the video clip:
(sorry, the link will not work in my journal)
Residents claim that they have worked tirelessly for two years to get officials to take action, to no avail. PETA caseworkers recently asked officials to immediately investigate this matter and secure the welfare of any animals found injured on this property. We have yet to receive a definitive response.
Texas Penal Code § 42.09 explicitly prohibits anyone from "[failing] unreasonably to provide necessary food, care, or shelter for an animal in the person's custody" or "[confining] an animal in a cruel manner;""cruel manner" is defined as a "manner that causes or permits unjustified or unwarranted pain or suffering."

Please contact this jurisdiction's officials right away and politely ask them to thoroughly investigate this matter, to file any applicable criminal charges, and to secure the welfare of any and all animals at this facility: (Names and Contact Info Below)

This is one of those things that seriously pisses me off. I can stand ignorance, and people not caring enough to do what (in my opinion) is everyone's duty to the earth since we share our one and only communal home with not only people but nature as well. But what I can't stand is people who cast a false veil not only over others but over themselves that they are "helping" these animals and "giving them a home". If one actually cares enough to go through such a commitment they should care enough to see it through: thats what confounds me the most. These are not machines that you can turn off if your sick or having a bad day or are just too lazy; they're living, breathing, beings that experiance pain, sadness, and even all have distinct seperate personalities. This, I hesitate to call it anything but an "operation", fails to realize whether or not they do it out of the goodness of their heart or for breeding (which should be considered animal abuse anyways), that they have taken the responsibilty to take care of their animals. The animals can't get up and decide to leave because of bad conditions: hopefully though somebody else will be able to speak for them and provide a better home.

If breeders loved the animals, THEY WOULD NOT BE BREEDING THEM! Wolf-dogs do not belong in your home, and they don't belong in the wild, so where does that leave them...?

Thank you for reading this journal. The lack of comments on this, and the abundance of comments I see on journals with NO point has reminded me why I left DA. No one on DA (especially a lot people who claim to love wolves) cares about anything! If they LOVED wolves, they would be doing something to help!

I encourage you to send an email to the links I have in the journal to help save these poor animals.
