Hi,
\nTracie Hotchner, who is the author of the Dog Bible and the Cat Bible has two radio shows.\u00a0 One is Cat Chat on Wed nights, Sirius Radio channel 112 at 8 pm, and the other is Dog Talk on WLIU,\u00a0but also it’s accessible on the Internet via live streaming OR after the live broadcast (which you can call in to ask questions, make comments, etc.), you can listen to the podcast.\u00a0 I get an e-mail regarding the topic of the show every Saturday, and the link to the website where I can listen any time.<\/p>\n
The good news is that Tracie has contacted Dale Bartlett, Deputy manager of Animal Cruelty Issues at HSUS, who will be discussing the Miami Dade case referenced in the e-mails below in which two officers of the law (allegedly) killed their own K9 partners, one (GSD) by kicking to death and one (Bloodhound) by starvation.\u00a0 She will have him on promptly at 11:05 (Eastern time) this Saturday, and will be on for the first few minutes of the show for a breaking news segment.\u00a0 He will describe the case and what listeners can do to help.\u00a0 Then in July, Tracie will have Dale back for a follow-up on this case. Thanks, Rondal Brown goes on trial in\u00a0May for (allegedly) starving\u00a0his 4-year-old Bloodhound, Dynasty,\u00a0to death.<\/p>\n Allen Cockfield goes on trial in July for (allegedly)\u00a0kicking his German Shepherd, Duke, to death.<\/p>\n The Director of Animal Cruelty Issues for the\u00a0HSUS and the State Attorney’s Office\u00a0in miami are asking for calls from everyone across the country to convict these “men.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Below is an e-mail\u00a0from Ed, who outlines 3 points\u00a0you can make when calling.\u00a0 The call will be fast and the clerk will take your name and comments to give to the judge regarding sentencing, when it comes to that.\u00a0 If convicted of a felony, and killing a K9 officer is a 3rd degree felony\u00a0for civilians, these\u00a0officers will be\u00a0permenanently removed from their careers. \u00a0I called and it took just 2 minutes!<\/p>\n Please call the Assistant State Attorney, Isis Perez at 305-547-0664.<\/p>\n Here\u00a0are Ed’s three points and he said he presented them very nicely:<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 That both felons receive the MAXIMUM allowable under the law; As Ed said – Please make a call!\u00a0 Support the prosecution and influence their sentence.
