Community Fireworks next to Animal Shelter!
The big dogs at the Camarillo/Somis/Pleasant Valley Lions Club along with the big dogs on the City of Camarillo, California council seem to think that it's pawfectly okay to set off 4th of July community fireworks within several hundred yards of where 400 lost and abandoned pets are housed at the Ventura County Animal Shelter! [And they say that Afghan Hounds are not the smartest dogs - I beg to differ!]
Special thanks go to Carole Hunter (no she's not related) who yesterday rushed to get to the Ventura County Animal Shelter in Camarillo in time to speak up on behalf of my feline and canine friends who will be stuck in the shelter on July 4th. Carole spoke with a reporter for the Santa Barbara based TV station KEYT who aired a segment last evening at 5:30 and 6:30. Carole you were GRRRREAT! [You didn't know that Afghan Hounds speak tiger did ya?]
I was disappointed that shelter manager Kathy Jenks was not available to speak to the reporter yesterday as Kathy did such a très beau job during the CBS 2/KCAL9 report. [Poodles aren't the only ones who speak French!]
Today Carole Hunter jumped on the phone and called Warren Eckstein's The Pet Show. Warren had already received several emails in regards to this matter and he had planned to explain to listeners - even before Carole called - just how tragic it is that the The Lions Club have not seen fit to move the fireworks to a location that would not terrorize 400 lost or abandoned and already dramatized pets.
Yes, I know, I know writing letters may appear to be boring but see YOUR letters do have a cumulative effect!
What's that you haven't made the time to write one yet? Please take a moment right now to visit http://www.PoodleClubSoCal.com and write a letter or two to the powers that be!
Two paws up to Bill Zardus for the following post on the Ventura County Star website under the COMMENTS section.
These 5 women have raised an excellent point and The Lions club should be embarrassed for not figuring this out for themselves.
What idiot decides to set off fireworks next to an animal shelter and how are they getting the permit to do this approved???
A few new pictures were added to Hattie's photo journal earlier today.
Woofing all of you at the Ventura County Animal Shelter a fireworks free fourth - crossing all the fingers, toes, eyes and all paws here that my woof for you comes true ~ Hunter
