IT's Not OVER

In the words of former President George Bush, "[A]sset forfeiture laws allow [the government] to take the ill-gotten gains of drug kingpins and use them to put more cops on the streets."

This was an idea with good intentions gone bad. This is being used against breeders as we speak and we must be heard. The Patricks where not only found not guilty but the judge did not even feel like there was a case against them. Still they stand to loose their home because Pima county is using laws ment to go after drug dealers to assists the Humane Society of the United States and themselves in this act of bitter vengeance.

If you are just now tuning in the Patrick's where accused of dog fighting in early 2008. Their animals were seized 94 killed 20 or so handed out to others. Some of those where even later disposed of by "Pit bull expert" Diane Jessup. The judge found the couple not guilty and in fact stated the he felt they never had intention of such activities and pointed to contracts stating the dogs or pups where not to be sold for fighting and the fact their was no evidence of any dog fighting activity.

The couple wins big hooray tears of joy ect ect. Right? WRONG

Patricks had to return home to figure out if they were going to loose their home or not. Why? Because even after it is proven that you have not committed a crime you still have to come up with enough money for a bond on your property and a lawyer or you loose. EVEN IF YOUR INNOCENT

don't believe me check this out seems like alot but please read.

"Concerned about the the broad effect of federal forfeiture laws, Henry Hyde (R-Ill., House Judiciary Committee Chairman) and John Conyers (D-Mich., the senior Democrat on the Committee) teamed up to introduce the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act in a rare display of bipartisan unity. The Representatives were concerned about the problem of police using seized property or funds to finance their own operations. As Bob Barr (R-Ga.) put it, "In many jurisdictions, it has become a monetary tail wagging the law enforcement dog." Testifying before the Judiciary Committee, Willie Jones of Nashville, TN, gave an example of this abuse. Engaged in the landscaping business, Mr. Jones planned to buy a shrubbery in Houston, TX. Nurseries prefer cash from out-of-town buyers, so Mr. Jones planned to go there with $9,000 in cash. Officers detained him at the airport: suspicious of the large amount of cash, they accused him of being involved in drug-related activities. They eventually let him go, but they kept the money, and refused to even give him a receipt for it. Because he did not have 10% of the money seized to put up as a bond, he could not afford to challenge the seizure in the usual way. Disturbed by this and other similar stories of excess, the House members voted to approve H.R. 1658 to curb this abuse. The Clinton administration said that the bill would have a negative impact on the war on drugs. The House soundly rejected an administration-favored alternative, however -- supporters of H.R. 1658 said the alternative bill would expand the federal power, not narrow it.

Doesn't seem all too funny anymore does it.

What can we do well for starter we can contact the Attorney General of Arizona and let him know how disgusted we are about the war on drugs being used for the war on breeders for non-profit extreme agendas.

Then we can go to our congressmen in our states and ask why this law is being used against law abiding citizens with the backing of animal rights groups.

And lastly you can contact the Patricks at their page BOLIO.net and show them your support and appreciation. They need our help. Also go to Stop-bsl.com and ask the webmaster how you may help with phone calls or donations.

Thank you every bit counts.

Sad but true rewards of fighting for freedom while losing your own.

This a true story but i will change certain facts to protect those involved. A USARMY soldier came back from Iraq in 2005. He was an infantry with 82nd Airborne division. He bought some land in the country for his family and his dogs. He purchased 12 acres of land so he would have plenty of space and plenty of room for his animals and children to roam. He and his wife had 5 dogs of their own and 3 young children. Knowing his time in the army was up he began to make plans to settle his family, but his unit was due to head back out to Iraq. When news arrived of future deployment, fellow soldiers began to look for accommodations for their pets. Knowing he was leaving the military he offered to help.

Those who owned pit bulls and rottweilers found it very hard to find someone to keep them for a year. This soldier offered to hold 15 pit bulls or rottweilers for owners until they came back asking only for dog food and vet bill money should the need arise. He kept constant email contact with the owners and update on their health. His wife took weekly pictures of the dogs and emailed them to their owners. For six month the young family live in their dog farm out in the country enjoying life. That was to end abruptly.

One day a neighbor came to the house and told them they had too many pit bulls and asked were they fighting these dogs.He simply stated that they where holding the dogs for soldiers abroad. The next week another neighbor does the same except this woman stated that she was a volunteer animal cruelty investigator(whatever that means). For the next month the local police where sent out to the property with reports of dog fighting and animal cruelty and neglect. Each time the police left petting all the dogs and saying how nice it was that someone would do such a thing for his fellow soldiers. Thankfully the local law enforcement came to know the dogs very well. Still this did not stop the naysayers.

More calls came in and the soldier started to see that people where coming in and out of his yard feeding and vaccinating his dogs and leaving him notes telling him they did so. Dogs by the way who had already been vaccinated and where now over weight and had regular diarrhea caused by the mixing of food. In the meantime the rumor around town is that there is a dog fighter in town and his is cruel to his animals. Something should be done, and done it was.

The soldier came home from work to find all 20 dogs dead or dieing, poisoned by ant-freeze. The scene was right out of the Humane Society of the United States' killem-for-their-own-safety playbook. Every dog full grown and puppies where killed. 20 dogs dead and dieing in plain view of those who drove the country road, not one report called in to local law enforcement. Not one complaint from a single neighbor, not one out cry of negligence, cruelty, or abuse. Nothing but smug indifference at a mission accomplished. And the cracking sound of the defeated but proud soldier's heart desperately breaking for letting his brothers and sisters in arms down. Where were the people who were so worried about the dogs well being and safety? 7 soldiers came home later that year to graves of their beloved pets instead of the companionship. Companionship needed to recover from the destruction of war. Graves dug with the blood, sweat and honorable tears of a soldier and paid for by the donations to the Humane Society of the United States and their like that post such poisonous and inflammatory information that creates witch hunts that hurt those who have sworn to defend even those who would take away their own freedom.

To the soldiers who lost their animals i salute you.

Humane Society of the United States the original drag queen

When a six foot four woman with broad shoulders and hairy legs walks down the street everyone stares. They point fingers and say "oh my god" or " who does he think he is fooling", but most just shake their heads and say "he's not even trying to hide it" so they just let them be just as wild as they want and go on with their day. Lets call this ugly drama queen say.... PETA. Out in the open not trying to hide whats between their legs and daring anyone to say they are something they are not. Then you have the young man with not a bit of stubble on his face and very feminine features. He walks like a woman talks like a woman even has had reconstruction to further fit into the role. He walks down the street everyday to the whistle of men who love women and would never guess they just flirted with a man. Let's talk to all the donors who just kissed this gorgeous drag queen call the Humane Society of the United States.

The Humane Society of the United States dresses pretty and talks pretty but underneath they are brutally territorial bullies. They take a name the leads people to believe they are an actual humane society as the public sees them. The public thinks shelters. Now the HSUS does not run a single shelter in this country. Not only are they shelter less, they charge your local shelter a high fee to have HSUS walk through their shelter and tell them what to do. Donors donate to help shelters and shelters pay money to get the HSUS stamp. That is money going one way from both sides. How a non-profit gets money from the people it should be donating too and the donors is beyond me. How you have not spent these donations on your actual cause, is mathematically mind blowing to me. Someone is asleep at the switch. The shelters who do not want anything to do with HSUS will be on their personal hit list. Ask The many rescues that where attacked by HSUS workers during Katrina. The Humane Society's Desiree Bender held up a hot van full of dogs because she did not want to loose the publicity.

Lets break down the make up and wig with one example. Desiree Bender founded Where Angels Run a so called Pit bull rescue. She is also the head honcho for HSUS in Arkansas. Diane Jessup runs Lawdogs and is a friend and ally of Bender and HSUS. She also runs a kennel of Sorrel Bred Gamedogs.


"Ms. Desiree Bender stated that while she is not a resident of the Community, she would like to see the City adopt legislation that would require the spaying and neutering of Pit Bulls. She stated that most fatality cases have involved a dog on a chain or an unaltered Pit Bull beside an in heat female Pit Bull. She offered support data to explain her argument. " - minutes from Jacksonville town meeting on July 7 2005.

Wait a minuite. So that means your friend and ally who breeds Pit Bulls would have to spade and neuter hers as well. And what Pit bull advocate promotes Breed Specific Legislation. None. The Pit bull rescue and breeder who makes money of dogs HSUS steals from people is the wig and make up. Going to city hall meetings and lobbying against Pit bulls is whats really between their legs.

1. Pit bulls – There is no doubt that pit bulls are in bad shape in America right now. They are likely the most popular dog in the country, but unfortunately, they are also the dogs of choice for drug dealers, gang members, and anyone else who is looking for a dog to be a status symbol. Legislation banning pit bulls or requiring strict regulation will not solve the problems created by dangerous dogs. However, because pit bulls currently flood animal shelters in Louisville and across the country, legislation requiring their mandatory sterilization could be a benefit to the breed and to all dogs in the community. Additionally, the mandatory sterilization of pit bulls would negatively impact those individuals who use pit bulls for fighting, guarding locations used for illegal activities, and the backyard breeders who so recklessly add to the dog overpopulation. Requiring the sterilization of pit bulls does not have the same problems as traditional breed-specific legislation. This does not punish responsible pet owners, as truly responsible owners already have their animals sterilized.

Letter from the HSUS to City of Louisville Kentucky.

Now remember HSUS donates dogs they take from court cases still pending and give them to Diane Jessup, a Pit bull breeder. Is she a responsible breeder, because her dogs are not sterilized. I wonder if The Humane Society hangs to theft or do the just tuck it back.
