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.

Why Does Stop-bsl.com Need Your Help?

we cannot do this alone.

We are not just asking for money. We would rather your time and only money if you do not have the time.

Let me show you what we are up against. Below i will show you a group of dogs all from the same home that where taken and destroyed because the Humane Society of the United States and their Arkansas one woman dog-lynch mob, Desiree Bender, said they were trained to fight dogs and therefor must be destroyed as they will only attack other dogs and humans.

These two dogs seem to be getting along just fine together.

These are all full grown dogs getting along just fine.

These young pups also were rule unsociable and killed.

This dog as well seems very socialized.

This is what we are up against. They had these very pictures in the court room and yet Desiree Bender said these dogs deserved to died. These dogs and many more. When questioned they changed their answer to say that the dogs health led them to kill all the puppies because their joints were so disfigured.

Go to http://www.stop-bsl.com/ decide what you can help us with. We have flyer's that can be passed out. We need people to spread the word and we need people to believe that we can make a change. And if you cannot give any of your time, then by all means please donate. But your time if far more valuable to us.

Also we plan to begin interviewing victems of such crimes and those who give us permission to do so, will have thier interviews published online so they can share their story with you. This is a testimate to how hard our small group works to show you that not only are we out there but we are effective.

Thank you
